Lighting.

I'm thinking Philips Hue strips under the pelmets of the high cabinets to light the work surfaces.

Then the new Philips Centris over the sink area: https://www.philips-hue.com/en-gb/p/hue-white-and-colour-ambience-centris-4-spot-ceiling-light/5060731P7

This should give a really clear light at the end of the room, and the spots over the corners of the U shaped worktop means I can throw light across the worktops at an angle and remove any shadows from the under-pelmet strip lights.

Unsure of the light over the kitchen table... maybe a Hue pendant... but I'm tempted by something a little warmer here. Perhaps abandoning Hue for this one light and opting for something like this: https://www.aram.co.uk/caboche-media.html or the smaller one https://www.aram.co.uk/caboche-piccola.html

Yup, the 1970s called and want their lighting back... but it's damn nice.

Be wary of where the shadow of the pelmet falls - if it falls on the counter top at all, it will drive you insane.

Good call, I'll have them look at the depth and angle... inclined to tell them to ensure the light exactly ends at the edge of the worktop and let this be their problem.
