First time doing this so my apologies but adding a couple comments: the color is a bit washed out here but the rug has definite bluish green tones as does the swivel chair. The art piece will be different also - see photo

Can you please add actual photos of your real space, not the rendering. These renderings are totally unrealistic. They have lighted areas with no lighting fixtures. We need to see what you are actually dealing with here.

There is nothing wrong at all with not having pendents at the island. You need some sort of lighting there but it need not be a pendent that hangs down and blocks your view.

You could have recessed lighting.

You could have suspended linear lighting that does not hang down low and still allows and open view.

Sure - consider these the “before”.

Island

From kitchen

Side note - we had a sectional before but when our dog if 13 yrs passed we got rid of it - it was very USED. 😂. These pieces were temporary

Nice space! glad the rendering show lamps, that will make the living room so much nicer at night - do you often have the TV on when working in the kitchen? if so, I might skip pendants for now and leave the view unobstucted

Thanks La La girl - yes! I cook ALL the time and often have it in

Your TV is gigantic! It is the power force of this room. I agree with no pendents. Clear view to the focal point makes so much sense.

Wow, that is the Island Of Power with the dual ovens! Very cool.

No pendants, even if they don’t block your view of the TV they will just be more glare and clutter you have to look through.

may be chandelierm is better for living room

I would love to see an airy (non view blocking type) chandelier in either the middle of the LR or over the peninsula. I'm thinking something that hangs down max 20" so you can still see under it fine, but it adds a lot to the space decor-wise and I wouldn't like to miss that opportunity!

Considering these
