A comment about the visual interruption pendants can be. We have a low ceiling, so reconsider doing led cans... check the comments about that. I wish I knew this 3 kitchens ago. On my 4th, hopefully last, kitchen redo, I put in 12 recessed lights -LED warm -on a dimmer in the main cooking area, under counter lights, and a separate set of three recessed lights just over the sink/island. I rejected decorative pendants so there was a more open feeling from the living room. The previous owner had already installed up lights above the cabinets. We never use them. I think that gives us 4 layers to our "cake".
The eating area has a beautiful iron chandelier with a dimmer and chandelier bulbs. We feel we have great lighting options at every time of day.
This article is a simple, excellent tutorial on something super important but rarely addressed this well. Thank you.
