Kitchens Lighting

pendant lighting help please!

4 years ago

Hi! I’m hoping for some advice with our lighting over the peninsula in our kitchen. We are in the midst of the build (not great under current circumstances!) but we need to decide what to do with pendant lighting over our peninsula. I’d really like some for the ambience but dh is against the idea as he feels they’d get in the way of the view out of ththe picture window. I’m hoping you can help us decide! On the peninsula wall we want to put a tv (the white rectangle) so my concern is whether the pendant lights will make it too busy? Any thoughts please?

I don't think it will be too busy, but it will be personal preference. Different people notice different things.

Why not have them put in and then if he finds them too distracting then have them removed? He'll probably forget they're there after a week!

Hi Lydia, your kitchen looks lovely!

Do check out our pendant lights, the 'Hug' pendants in particular would work well in your space.

Chrome is a great choice for a modern look. I'm in America, so I converted 30cm to inches so I could find you some possible ideas. Please note that our website does not ship outside the US, but hopefully these can at least give you some nice ideas. 1. http://www.lightsonline.com/product/george-kovacs-bling-bling-pendant 2. http://www.lightsonline.com/product/kichler-stella-1-light-35-mini-pendant-in-chrome-42216ch 3. http://www.lightsonline.com/product/golden-lighting-harland-1-light-mini-pendant-in-chrome-wclear-glass-3086-m1l-ch 4. http://www.lightsonline.com/product/kichler-reynes-1-light-mini-pendant-in-chrome-42123ch 5. http://www.lightsonline.com/product/et2-frost-halogen-mini-pendant-in-polished-chrome-wclear-white-glass-e22000-10 6. http://www.lightsonline.com/product/et2-teardrop-1-light-mini-pendant-in-polished-chrome-e24055-pc 7. http://www.lightsonline.com/product/fredrick-ramond-globe-2-light-mini-pendant-in-polished-chrome-finish-fr38510pcm 8. http://www.lightsonline.com/product/elk-lighting-modern-organics-pendant8

Help with a new carpet for my bedroom please?
Q

Thank you guys. I went to the carpet showroom today and the guy there was not very helpful. Just threw a few books at me. So I am none the wiser really. But there would not be as much selection here in Ireland as what you would have in the states. I won't give up though, I saw a few ones with speckles on it and they were nice but I think I will hold out for the pattern ones if I see them. Maybe what I want is not out there..... Wont see any dirt, only have to Hoover once a week, no foot marks and light in color ??

Help please with deciding on living room furniture
Q
Comments (0)
hey everyone, So i'm sooo undecided on how to bring our living room together. We painted the chimney breast choc brown and the fire place cream which I like the look of. We have and a brown and flecked cream carpet and duck egg/ brown/ cream /gold striped curtains. The couches are yellowy cream colour but we may be changing them to cream and getting an L shaped couch. The bookcase came with the place so we probably move that out and the sideboard is going in the kitchen where there is a glass cabinet at the moment ( ill also attach photo of the kitchen) and will be getting a different one for the space. The TV stand is a warm oak and the nest of tables are beech. I can't decide on whether to get an oak and cream painted coffee table like this One http://www.greatfurnituretradingco.c...m-coffee-table .I saw it in a shop in dublin but they don't have it online to link it to. Or else a light oak one see image attached. I like the matching sideboard to the light oak coffee table but was unsure if I got both it'd be too matched. Our living room is north facing so a cold room so would want furniture to warm it up. Would get a rug aswell for under the coffee table. Was thinking of putting floating cream shelves above the sideboard and then a nice picture above the couch at the back of the room. I've attached photos of my living room and the furniture. What do people think?? Any tips and advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi Lydia

I'd maybe go for 2 lights instead of 3, generally I prefer things in threes but I think in this circumstance it would work well to have two?

Hope this helps - all the best with your renos! xx

I think 2, and closer together would look much better, the 3 in the pic look very far apart. How long is your island?

Are you having lots of downlights, it looks like that in the pic. Why do you need both?
