Hello Sophie, There's lots and lots of things you could do here.. to create the kitchen you want. One of the most important is good fitting.. you could re-distribute existing shells and add new doors.. Or have something made... Consider handles or none? Carved handle in door or plain... Wood or painted... Any way to align sink in front of window with something rectangular perhaps that doesn't interfere with the window which looks partially covered from what I can see (could be wrong) Is there a way to open that section completely to reveal the whole window? Maybe move things along further? Will you be buying any new appliances or just worktop and tiles... Re the flooring, is this to stay or be painted or? It might be nice to compliment the floor with the worktop but consider the colours you want to have.. Also consider whether you want to incorporate blue onto the cabinets? You could have blue up to worktop and then a creamy warm white above and shelves...... So many ways to deal with your kitchen... :)) I'll see if I can find a shelfie for inspiration.... I have had the same kitchen I had put in 5 years ago and it has undergone several transformations... as you see here, you can really create very different looks with small cosmetic changes... .... :))

Hi Daisy The space you’re creating looks very interesting and it’s good that you’re really thinking about the lighting. If you have the opportunity, I’d consider using downlighter/s to highlight the picture in the lounge, as that would be a direct form of light and can really pick out the artwork whilst doubling up as background lighting. In the far right of the image below, you’ll see a painting highlighted by a single downlighter that works really well within the space. Regarding the pendants in the dining area, whether they’ll provide enough light will all be dependent on which particular pendant you choose. For example a 100W glass pendant will offer more light than a 60W one. Regardless of the power though it’s always good to layer lighting in living spaces, so I’d consider having wall lights or 5amp lamp sockets on an extra circuit. These will help to create a lovely ambient mood, just right for when you’re socialising after dinner with a glass of wine in your hand! I hope this helps and look forward to seeing the final pictures. All the best, Rich Darklight Design

The best lighting for bedrooms comes from using wall scones positioned on at least two opposite walls. This will give you the cosy, warm feel you are looking for. The scones should be placed at about 220 cm height. In this case I would locate two on both sides of the media unit, and one or two on the side of the bed. Keep the central ceiling light on a separate switch and use it only when you need lots of bright light. use a ceiling lamp and not a pendant. Scone.
