A matching set? Or something less 'obtrusive'? by: Charlotte
Hello Mynch
Is your bench top an island unit? Or against a wall?
If it is against a wall, or with cupboards built over the top, simple downlights built under cupboards or against the wall may be suitable.
If your bench top is an island unit that needs lighting a pendant light may, indeed, be more suitable.
This does, however, raise the problem of being so close to the dining room table with its lighting problems.
A chandelier sounds a good idea, and if you can get a matching 'set' of lighting from the same range, using a pendant light and chandelier so close together may work fine.
Different styles may look a little awkward or cluttered though. To get round this you could perhaps think about:
different heights of the lighting
matching pendant lights for both
could spotlights provide the lighting for the benchtop, or other less 'obtrusive' lighting
