Thank you! The ceiling in this kitchen is 10'. The upper cabinets range from 54-50" including the molding. Hope this helps!

I would box in the pipework as that is going to be very difficult to paper around. I would also get yourself a proper scalpel from an art shop as these are best for cutting paper in situ - it will also be easier if you have paper where you can paste the wall rather than the paper. One issue you will have is around the edge of the fireplace as its such an irregular shape you will really struggle to get a clean edge. I would be inclined to agree with others who have said you will get a better finish if painted - if the wall was painted I would also polish the copper pipes to a high sheen if you don't plan to box them in, its an easy job and looks great when done.

Sloping ceiling in our tiny bathroom

I think that one of the problems with this small bathroom is that it's broken into many elements, making the space appear even smaller. The slope is very sculptural but spoiled by the style of window. Would you consider replacing the window with a full pane of glass in a casement or awning style opening? I'd also recommend either removing the tongue and groove boarding and skimming the wall or replacing the boards with T & G that extend from the floor to the ceiling. I'd remove the tiles and replace with T & G as well. Also, to unify the space, remove the ceiling tiles, which look like polystyrene, and the coving to simplify the overall appearance. A paler tint of the blue-green and a simpler window film in a foggy texture will allow more light to enter the room.

Hi, Just though it may be worth a quick mention....we are having a sale. This is the perfect time to buy a new light, if you are still looking? Just thought of you and thought sale news may be helpful. I'd recommend looking at lights with chain suspensions as some lights are not suited to hanging from an angled ceiling. Something like this style is perfect. https://www.lightingcompany.co.uk/the-david-hunt-lighting-collection-orb-black-gyroscope-pendant-light-p2164 It works with the colour of your strut beans, it is a great shape which won't compete with your metalwork . Round shapes are really good on angled ceilings as it doesn't have to line up with anything. I too like the industrial cluster lights but could be a little messy looking, just an opinion! @ more reasons to choose the LightingCompany.co.uk 1) We have 2 years electrical warranty on all lights 2) A No quibble returns policy for peace of mind, which is 14 days to decide after you get your new light. If you've already selected your lights we'd love to see the finished room, no matter what lights you opt for. Still very envious of your room, it's a lovely space. As far as electrical contractors you can be assured of the quality of an approved electrical contractor if you search here. https://www.niceic.com/find-a-contractor/find-contractors

Multi-outlet ceiling rose - how many lights for double height ceiling?
Q

It may be worth speaking to the electrician if you're not as keen on swagging. I know they can run a "pipe" through the ceiling void with the cabling in to put extra outlets and then just drill a hole from underneath the ceiling for the light but that is dependant on the joist direction etc though. That may not be feasible for what you want to do but may be worth asking the question anyway! If not, choose hooks that blend in with the ceiling? It will be easier to assess position this way too as you can just get the electrician to hold each one up for assessment before fixing! A general rule is that lights should be 1/2 - 2/3 of the tables width and normally hung 30-36 inches above the table. Given the double height I'd probably just start the lowest pendant c40-46 inches but I'm not sure on your total ceiling height and even though it's a feature you want to make sure the table is sufficiently lit! It's probably worth drawing it out on paper
