remove fan add flush mount ceiling light and complimentary pendant over table.

Thanks for the input. I don’t think it’s too late to add recessed. I’ll have to double check with our contractor, bc we were thinking of that too.

remove the fan. do you have any recessed lighting in the kitchen? can you do any? I'd bring a few cans in that dining area and do the pendant like you want.

see how this one has the cans as well as a pendant?

if it's not possible to do cans, you could do a flush mount light fixture

I would use at least 4 recessed lights in the room, and use a flush mount or semi flush mount in the middle of he room where you have it, or all recessed lights. You might decide to use a rectangular table later with all that bench seating, so I wouldn't center anything on the table.

Beth and I said pretty much the same thing lol. I think that is where you need to go with it if you can!

Thank you all for the help. We ended up wanting the flexibility of changing to rectangular table at some point, so we did four recessed lights. May or may not do a flush/semi-flush light in the center. We did recessed in the kitchen and back living room connected to this as well. New lighting completely changed the feel of the rooms
Thanks again!
