Hi,

In your description you've not mentioned the height of the cabinets in front of the bay window nor if the shelf in the bay in the same height or higher. I'm assuming the cabinet under the 6ft window is short but you've not mentioned the cabinet heights at 46/48/49/50, are those full height?

In your original layout there is some symmetry (for those that like that in a floorplan) but many lights are 'floating' over the floor and would be behind you (e.g. at the table, at the two pantrys) thus creating shadows were you don't want them.

I have taken your floorplan / layout and made some adjustments, attached.

I suggest the task lights over counters be placed over the first 3-6" from the edge.

I suggest the pantry are lit with adjustable recessed so the lights can be pointed into the cabinets OR lit from within by mounting LED tapes vertically behind the door frame to throw light into each shelf (which could be controlled by a jamb switch). Interior LED tapes might also be used for cabinets at 46/48/49/50 if desired (might be cleaner that using a recessed like shown in lower right).

I suggest the walls to either side of the door out to lower left might be lit using wall washers that might be used to light up artwork.

I suggest under cabinet lighting could be done using high quality LED tape. You might also consider that for an ambient glow effect used in the toe-kick space.

I design with 'layers of light', I suggest controlling most lights (or groups) with separate dimmers (e.g. counter task lights, under cab lights, island pendants, table pendant, wall washers, etc. all controlled independently).

Good luck, & please post a photo of your completed renovation.

Thank you @brilliant! Great ideas. We will consider most of these and will certainly post a photo once completed. Thank you again!!
