But here we have the central dining table, which needs good lighting.
No, unfortunately I don’t know.
I meant it like this: oriented to the kitchen island, distance to the dining table, then adjust the same distance bottom right.

However, I’m backpedaling: Your kitchen island is unsuitable in depth now. You have more grease splatters behind than you like. A kitchen island should be 90cm deep. And the others are right about visually separating the dining area from the chill area. You’ve drawn a 2.40m dining table? Do you already have it? I would set it further in, possibly even rotate it and put it against the wall. For the dining table a pendant lamp, dimmable. I think the wall outlets themselves can only be determined once the kitchen planning is done. If it really is going to be a kitchen island, then what kind of extractor do you have? From below or with lighting from above? It depends on that. Kitchen has task lighting… or does your kitchen not? Then you can do without the central light. Hallway at the front needs lighting. My middle left point of the six would also be good for a spotlight that shines light toward the cabinet. Do you like spotlights? LED? My upper left point of the six — I would do without that one; it just snuck in visually here, if you take these point spotlights, but over the dining table this unit already drops out, so that point is also superfluous since the basement stairs get their own light anyway. If I now plan a rather sensible kitchen as a U (no G), then I tend toward this planning and accordingly these outlets (without wall outlets, I leave those aside). But I have to say, I’m somewhat fearless with the monkey swings, because I often move the furniture. So I rather have creative urges and will also hang the pendant lamp one meter further than the ceiling outlet. For me it’s e.g. also rather chic and decorative to have a table lamp on the kitchen worktop, than others saying there is a lack of lighting planning ;)
The counter is not supposed to be a classic kitchen island for us but rather a work counter. That way, I can seat children and guests who want to help in the kitchen on the dining room side and have peace in the kitchen :cool: Also, I find a deeper work surface accessible from three sides quite practical. Furthermore, we like that there is then a visual separation from the kitchen and the eye is somewhat distracted from the chaos behind... That’s also why the idea of a pendant lamp over the work counter came about, which additionally distracts and provides light. We don’t have a dining table etc. yet, as said, it’s only a very rough draft. I agree with you about the monkey swings; I don’t assume we can already plan everything exactly so that it fits 1:1 with the light outlets, especially in the dining area. So we will probably still adjust exactly how we place the table etc. Regarding the separation between living and dining area: we always liked setups in pictures where the table extends into the living area. The table is not just for eating but also a meeting place for the family, where the kids do their homework etc. A “real” living room for relaxing in the evenings is upstairs in the studio (with TV etc.); downstairs the whole area is more of a family zone. But perhaps I’m misjudging it and the table is annoying, though we can then also move it crosswise towards the kitchen.
