Agree, your wish list of wants reveal you like a few different looks, and have worked hard to try and incorporate your favorite elements in one kitchen. List each material or finish individually, then try to gather a sample of each product, laying them out side by side and eliminating the ones which clash or just don't fit. If you want to juxtapose lots of finishes, then opt for natural tones and textures in place of colour, where you have both, eliminate the colour in favor of the marble and timber, or go with the navy blue splash back and greys in marble and joinery.

Warm always. Only exception would be for under-cabinet lighting over a desk/study area possibly. I prefer working under warm lights as long as they are bright enough for the task. I recently replaced the warm globes in my island bench lights to cool white. Ugh! Although they are brighter, they throw such cold light. So I'm going to replace them with warm but with higher wattage.

Hi I agree with the above comments, you can have pendants on a 2400mm ceiling. To keep the design uncluttered, make them not too intrusive. Choose transparent open designs or clear glass or petit shades. We have got used to higher ceiling in many new builds but a lower ceiling in the kitchen area also gives you more lighting options as some pendants don't have long enough drops for higher ceilings. Here are some ideas.best wishes

So, what color did you eventually choose? I am really interested because the house we have just bought has similar color ceilings. I was also wondering about the color of the light fittings. I think that I will get some color changing LED light bulbs and have them installed all around the house. I like them more because you can both use them as a regular bulb or change the color to any you would like. It is also possible to control them using an app on my phone, making it so easy to control them. Now I think that it would be the most reasonable decision if I installed white bulb fittings so they look good with all the colors the bulb can make.
