Lighting: To Pot or Not to Pot, that is the kitchen table question...

We are helping our son reno his first house! We are adding a kitchen table with built-in L-shaped banquette seating, and moving the fridge (and cabinet above it), as well as the cabinet on the right in the photo, to the opposite side of the kitchen, in order to make a spot for the table.


The placement of lighting over the table is complicated by a ceiling beam (the house had an addition added 20 years ago).


We‘d prefer to do a light fixture over the table instead of just adding more recessed lighting. But the ceiling beam above the table is not centred on the table, and it is 8.5” wide, and drops down 11”. They are 8’ ceilings. I’m thinking we’d need something that drops more than the 11“, both visually and to spread light across the whole table. I think it‘s possible to do something other than pot lights, and still have the fixture at the ‘required’ 60-66“ from the floor.


We’re considering a circular semi-flush mount, or perhaps something linear would better to extend under the beam (but it would have to be thin to avoid being too close to the beam)?

As far as colouring, he is keeping the oak cabinets but changing to black pulls. The new flooring going in this month is pre-refinished solid maple hardwood, with a hint of grey tone. Casings will be white.




Thank you for any thoughts you have about the lighting dilemma, suggested fixtures, or anything else that jumps out at you in the plans!

    Banquette: DH built a trestle table and benches for us in our first circa 1940's home. There was no dining room. The two of us on a SMALL table barely fit with the area chairs take up. Once the "banquette" was installed we fit 6, so could have company, and one of those was a high chair. Be sure the benches are a fun vinyl and scooting in and out will be a breeze!!! I also insisted on benches that double as storage. It was great for kid art supplies!
