I love the idea of the duck egg blue and yellow adding a pop of colour to the white. I'd play it up a bit more and go for deep and bold jewel tones of teal, sapphire, plum and burgundy, mixed with a few of the more delicate neutral pillows you have. I think little pops of gold would do nicely with the jewel tones and match the yellow you already have. I'd definitely continue the idea of the sheepskin throw and maybe introduce a similar rug to bring some warmth and texture to the floor -perhaps a warmer beige. I think large black and white photographs of your preference would go nicely on the blank wall -perhaps flanked by some floating bookshelves to showcase any decorations that might bring more warmth and personality to the room.

What a beautiful room! I tried to find some banquette seating that was modern - unfortunately none of them have a layout similar to yours, so use your imagination! You might be better off with just a bench as I wouldn't want you to block those beautiful windows. I would also add an island - something simple and sleek and probably something on casters, so you can move it out of the way if you want to. Do you have any lights in there? I can't see any! Get the other furniture first, but you could have a pendant light over the dining area and then have another fixture that is above the island. Be careful because you don't want something that casts a shadow behind you when you are working in the main part of the kitchen. Good luck.

Have you considered a Crystal chandelier? I make custom pieces that would suit this space very well, possibly a maximum drop of 1m (if there is to be walking space underneath, longer if it is suspended above an island or similar) with the lighting sitting in a lighting plate at the top.

If you're after a pendant light in the kitchen, you might want to think about a light and extractor in one to save space! We are Faber Cooker Hoods and we offer a variety of kitchen extractors, including ceiling and island hoods in all styles! For example, if you're all about a statement piece you will love the Nest Plus - it has micro LED lights and is made from free form glass meaning it looks like a chandelier! Faber's Up & Down technology also means you can raise the hood towards the hob for excellent extraction or raise it towards the ceiling to create more space! If you're after a more minimalist look, the High-Light might be for you. Available in modern contemporary colours, we have hoods that will easily match your decor.
