You could try alexander and pearl and rockett St George for stools and lights. Andy thornton also have a large selection. Or try Davey lighting or original btc for pendants. French connection home have a few key pieces that would sit within an industriał scheme like coffee and "dining"tables. What colour will the kitchen units be? One of farrow and balls blue/black paints would work well with copper worktops and the range.

I have in the past made bespoke one off pieces of forged and fabricated furniture for unusual spaces. I have often combined various materials in projects like steel and wood or glass. I also have recently found a good local upholsterer who can work with leather. Give me a call if you would like to discuss anything in more detail. My website has a number of furniture pieces on it.

Sounds an exciting project. Have fun.

Hi Daniel What a lovely light kitchen! I see you have decided to change the worktop which is a good idea if you don't like the existing (temporary fixes always seem to stay forever in my house, much better to go for a permanent solution if it's within budget!) if you like colours I think the suggested mustard yellow would be good, or teal works really well with white and wood. Also, you mentioned tiled wallpaper, how about some real tiles? I have a new kitchen too, it has very pale grey gloss units and a white quartz worktop and white walls (at the moment, eventually I'm planning to paint them dark grey). It's lovely but a little plain like yours. I found some lovely tiles which are white and grey which sounds very dull. It they introduce pattern which really ties it all together. I think you could choose some tiles with a nice pattern (they don't have to be brightly coloured if that's not your thing). You'd only need 2 rows, not all the way up to the upper units, introducing some pattern could really bring it to life. And perhaps some coloured chairs when you get round to thinking about furniture? Also, how about hanging a picture on the wall below the wall unit above the washing machine? I love a picture in a kitchen! Hope this helps, enjoy decorating your new home!

POLL: What do you prioritise when buying furniture?

We are in the market of selling luxury furniture, so would recommend quality and style above all. If you can afford luxury new items thats all very well, they are beautifully made and offer gorgeous styles that can stand the test of time. However, we also understand not everyone has the budget to be able to do so. If your budget is lower, be savvy and buy traditional or contemporary pieces at auction. Use your imagination and buy quality second hand furniture and accessories that are design classics for a fraction of the price. Use interior design techniques that feature colour and textures to bring out the best in your choices. You can then incorporate inexpensive items as long as they are interestingly designed. Inexpensive ....and dull...is definitely not an option.

Half glazed external door with openable window

You may be able to get this made to order from a window and door company. You can have cat / dog flaps fitted in glass, it doesn't have to be wood. We have one for our dogs, you order the flap, give it to the door company and they order it with the hole needed for the flap, which you then fit. I can't see why they couldn't put an openable window in it. If you're set on wood, then i'd just get a carpenter to make a window to fit the door and then re-glaze the portion underneath. I once put a stained glass window in a front door, if it's wood it's a lot easier to make all sorts.

@Carolina oh yes you’re totally correct. I should have been specific and said that the Amazon seller was based in China. Many ebay and Amazon sellers are based in China (and avoid VAT) and the cost of returns is prohibitively expensive (they insist on tracked returns). But thanks again for all your comments!

We can upholster the industrial stools in tan leather. The pendant has a ship theme. If you are using a designer we will be happy to supply them or direct to you. http://www.thehomemarket.co.uk/kitchen/stools&display=all
