POLL: Pendant lighting - yay or nay?
If you spend any time on Houzz at all, you'll probably be familiar with pendant lighting - from the 'trio of pendants' look to the oversized industrial numbers, they're pretty much everywhere! And yet, for some, it's become a trend that's a little overdone.
So, do you have a penchant for pendants or has your patience run out? Vote below and tell us why!

We do find though that pendant lights are still a popular seller as they can be so varied in style and don't just have to be used in a kitchen as they can be used in any room in the home. We have a nice range available, also including some unusual ones such as this one:

POLL: Yay or nay - open plan kitchens?
Comments (206)We are often approached by clients who are creating an open plan kitchen, dining and living area. To overcome some of the issues we make cabinetry which can hide away the usual clutter found in a busy kitchen. Bi-fold and pocketing doors are great in this instance as ovens and even sinks can be hidden away, making the cabinetry seem more like a piece of furniture than a kitchen. Our clients love being able to change the look of a space in an instance! It is crucial to make sure you choose your appliances carefully, i.e. a quiet dishwasher and a good extractor are of huge benefit here. As long as the space is thoughtfully planned there is no reason that it shouldn't work functional and aesthetically....See MorePOLL: En suite bathroom - yay or nay?
Comments (78)An ensuite to the master bedroom is a great asset in a family home, reducing the morning stampede to the family bathroom. It also helps create that sense of luxury, adult space. A sanctuary away from the rest of the family....See MorePainted brick - yay or nay?
Comments (20)I have to admit that I love it! Roughly painted bricks can add a beautifully rough touch to an otherwise very clinical space and act as a feature in and of itself. Solidly painted walls can add that subtly needed touch when you can't quite go all out in naked brick, but as several people mention above - it's all about the space and getting the right feel for where you are and who's going to be living there in my opinion....See MoreGrey bedroom, yay or nay!!
Comments (19)As far as flooring goes, you can get light colour carpets which are bleach cleanable. I have a grey feature wallpaper in my bedroom, but the other walls a much lighter colour. I did want white carpets but was concerned about going too light, so went for a pale cream instead. Had very thick underlay so it feels luxurious. Stains have so far come out brilliantly just using stain remover foam, including a spilled bottle of berry cider and brown tinted dry shampoo which accidentally emptied all over the carpet. Haven't even had to try the bleach yet. We have the same carpet in the children's bedrooms because it goes with everything and is so practical....See More

7 years agoWe absolutely love pendants, for obvious reasons of course. And the idea of 3 above a kitchen island or a dining table is a great way off adding a point of interest to the room... our Brooklyn 3 Light Pendant offers a different take on the 'trio of pendants'.

7 years agolast modified: 7 years agoI guess it depends on the height (some rooms have a low ceiling, especially in London) and the size of the room. If there's a large kitchen table, why not have a lovely set of pendants above it to make sure the lighting is focused?

7 years agolast modified: 7 years agoPendant lighting as accent pieces often fall short as a functional light souce to find the fish bones! The key factors are the height, control of the lighting and surrounding mood lighting type and position. Remember the colour your light casts on the food will have a significant effect on the vibrancy of the dishes you serve.

6 years agoIt's a YAY from me!! I've just had these copper lights installed to go over an island. I've received compliments from family and friends. We have high ceilings so work for us. However, the electrician placed them too far apart and they need bringing in closer.
