Which Decorative Lighting Do You Recommend

5 years ago

Hello All,

I'm struggling to pick a lighting set for my kitchen and living remodel. I have picked out several sets within my budget...I just can't narrow them down. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated! I've included a floor plan for context. Also, I only have room in my budge for decorative lighting above the sink, island, and dining table. The rest of the lights will all be recessed. (8 ft. ceilings)

I've included a rough mood board with what the cabinets (two colors), floors, cabinet pulls will be gold-ish (as will the faucet), fireplace stone, and counter tops will look like. Additionally, I haven't picked out the countertops yet. I only know that it will be mid-grade granite. The one displayed is my favorite so far. In person there is more gold in it that what the picture provides. Any advice with that is also appreciated!

The last option I like the island lights...but they weren't part of a set so I looked for other pieces that would coordinate.

My favorite of the ones you've chosen is your third island light. I like the sparkle you get with the metal and glass juxtaposed with the stone fireplace and wood floors. However, you might want to consider not doing clear glass in the kitchen. We have a fixture above our island with clear glass, and it gets dusty so quickly. And because it's in the kitchen, tiny bits of grease float up and then make the dust stick to it, so it's difficult to clean.

I also think that your dining light can be a different style than your island/sink fixtures. (I think your first options are too matchy.) That would define the dining area. Here are some options I found that are reasonably priced.

Sink:

Island: even though it's glass, the top is solid to hide the dust.

Dining: the white color ties in with your white cabinets. This company also sells chandelier shades so you could customize it with a color or pattern.
