Hi Sana We have created bespoke lighting solutions for people in the past. Yours is a tricky set up and depends where the power source comes from but perhaps a bar suspended across the lantern with pendants hanging from it is an option. Or a lengthy bar across the whole island that also goes across the gap. Email some photos to sales@nigeltyas.co.uk if you want us to take a look at it for you. Our range of ceiling lights and pendants are on the website so adpating something to suit your arrangement is usually possible as we manufacture everything to order. Best wishes Gareth

Do you have a dining table in the same open plan space - if so, I'd hang a pendant above the dining table and not have any above the peninsula. I saw something someone recently said (controversially) about lights above islands/peninsulas looking like warming lamps and now I can't un-see that. You might find that a recessed spot in the ceiling (assuming you have some of these planned already for the rest of the kitchen) lights up the peninsula just fine and you don't need any pendants dangling down and getting in your face. In a normal-sized kitchen/diner I'd only have pendants above island/peninsula or dining table, not both - and preference would almost always be above dining table.

For me, I wouldn’t put any extra lighting above the breakfast bar as it could look a little cluttered, but I would put something over the dining table, either your current light or something else. As to radiators I’m not a fan of vertical radiators (I know I’m in the minority here!) as I find them quite intrusive in a room. Colour depends on the colours in the room. As you have a pale kitchen then I would go with a light colour. You can’t go wrong with white when the room has a light and airy vibe.

Thank you Isla :-) My thoughts were: 1 - leave it as you suggest.... once the room is decorated and furnished we won't notice the alignments or.... 2 - move the far pendant so it is aligned with the front one, which would then be roughly centred between the beams either side of it.... or... 3 - move the rear pendant so it is properly centred between the beams either side of it, and nudge the front one slightly to the left so it is aligned with the rear one Any thoughts on options two or three... if you have another moment...? Or you still think leave each one centred to its space? I do agree we won't notice it so much once the space is lived in.... Thanks again!
