Surely you get stuff - food and debris caught in the small gaps and joins of the parquet - not very hygienic, I'd have thought.

Haven't you "had a poll" featuring the pink chairs before? I guess you might need a different marketing strategy if the polls aren't working......

Hi @Laura G Please could you tell me how much clearance space you have from the wall to the dining table? I have a similar layout to yourself that I am building. I was considering a different orinentation but structural engineer/architect wouldnt allow once knocked through so decided it was best to sacrafice the side porch in favour of 1 wall kitchen. I'm going through a bit of a design dilemma at the moment preventing me from finishing the project, but actually everything seems to fit nicely for yourself. Do you have a floor plan you could share please? Here's where mine is currently at Thanks :)

Hi Rachel, Thanks for posting the floor plan here! Based on the images we have a couple of options that you could go for. Singular pendants on either side of the skylight – We love your original idea of hanging singular pendants on either side of the skylight and feel this could work really well for mood lighting, here are some options for pendants in different styles so you can see if any of these examples are to your liking: Bamboo Ceiling Pendant Light – Cream https://www.litecraft.co.uk/bamboo-ceiling-pendant-light-cream Cena 1 Light Diner Ceiling Pendant – Copper https://www.litecraft.co.uk/cena-1-light-diner-ceiling-pendant-copper-1 Visconte Minori 1 Light Ceiling Pendant - Satin Nickel https://www.litecraft.co.uk/visconte-minori-1-light-ceiling-pendant-satin-nickel Tula 1 Light Bell Glass Ceiling Pendant – Champagne https://www.litecraft.co.uk/tula-1-light-bell-glass-ceiling-pendant-champagne Diner pendant bars with spotlights Another option could be to hang a diner pendant bar between the two skylights which has adjustable spotlight heads on it, allowing you to adjust the height of the pendant to suit the room, and allowing you to direct light towards the dining table or whatever other direction you may need. Here are some examples: Danica 4 Light Industrial Style Diner Pendant - Antique Copper https://www.litecraft.co.uk/danica-4-light-industrial-style-diner-pendant-antique-copper Eyeball 4 Light Adjustable Diner Bar Pendant – Black https://www.litecraft.co.uk/eyeball-4-light-adjustable-diner-bar-pendant-black Aya 4 Light Industrial Style Diner Pendant - Satin Nickel https://www.litecraft.co.uk/aya-4-light-industrial-style-diner-pendant-satin-nickel In the same location between the two skylights, to maintain a more central balanced look you could also go for a more statement semi-flush or larger pendant ceiling light which would give off more illumination, reaching to the dining area without having to hang individual pendants over the table. Here are some examples: Visconte Praiano 8 Light Ceiling Pendant – Chrome https://www.litecraft.co.uk/visconte-praiano-8-light-ceiling-pendant-chrome Supa 6 Light Stick Semi Flush Ceiling Light - Satin Brass https://www.litecraft.co.uk/supa-6-light-stick-semi-flush-ceiling-light-satin-brass Supa 6 Light Stick Semi Flush Ceiling Light – Black https://www.litecraft.co.uk/supa-6-light-stick-semi-flush-ceiling-light-black If you are looking for a more minimalist aesthetic you could even install track lights that fit around the skylight which allow you to move spotlights to any position of your choosing. https://www.litecraft.co.uk/lighting/ceiling-lights/track-lighting Alternatively, you could opt for recessed spotlights, some of which can be tiltable or fixed which will offer a more uniform aesthetic for the whole space and as they are small, they will be easier to place wherever you need. https://www.litecraft.co.uk/lighting/spotlights/recessed-spotlights Kind regards, The Litecraft Team
