Need help figuring out where to install lights in great room
Hello Wonderful Houzz community!
We are in the process of remodeling the back of our house- we have a longish room with a vaulted ceiling. 15 feet wide, 40 feet long. This will be our living room, dining area and kitchen (with island). We need to pick where to install lights (and what sorts of lights). I have no idea where to start. I'm not sure where the dining table will end up, so should I not install a light in that area? Or just put in a few recessed lights? We will do recessed lights and under cabinet lights in kitchen, as well as a skylight over the island- do I still need pendants over the island? And in the living room part, can I get away with just two LEDs recessed and pointed at the very front of the room (bookshelves there) or should I also get wall sconces or more recessed lights??? Thanks!

Can you post a picture of the Space? Also, do you have a particular style you are designing for? And a rough lighting budget?
Sounds challenging and I'd love to lend a hand.
