How do people feel about pendants over the kitchen sink in front of a window? Is this a place to bring in an element of style or just stick with a ceiling can light?

It's a great place to add a featured design element such as a lighting fixture that is decorative as well as useful. In addition, a lighting fixture adds dimension to the space, adding spacial perspective to this featured area. A pendant can function as an element that is a further connection of the kitchen style or that can nudge the style in one direction or another via color, finish, or style. A ceiling light or recessed fixture contributes to the design by reducing decorative clutter, allowing the eye to flow around the space with fewer visual interruptions.
