Hi Fabcoco102,

Thank you for getting in touch.

This new build property was designed in collaboration with Alfred Homes and the Interior Designer, Emma Hooten. Emma styled the space and, in this case, would of been responsible for sourcing the lighting.

If you wanted to contact Emma, her website is Emma Hooton | Residential Interior Design | South of England

Many Thanks

Graham

Something like this would look great. There are plenty of lighting suppliers who do lighting for high ceilings: https://www.lightingcompany.co.uk/ceiling-lights-c3/lighting-for-barns-and-high-ceilings-c20

I would definitely suggest that you go with something metal or glass again but without using colour unless it is neutral cream, beige or black. Lights are generally quite expensive - so any accent pops of colour, I would add, would be in accessories such as tea towels, hand towels, spatulas, bowls etc.... I love the colours in the glass bowl that you have on the island - cannot really see but it may be figs???? Either way those pinky tones make your floor and kitchen seem lovely and warm. Good luck.

Hi, Charlie, This looks like an interesting plan -- what are you doing about lighting for the work surfaces? Will you have under-cupboard lighting? I know you say you don't like downlights (recessed spots), however they can be extremely useful (on a separate circuit) to have as additional worktop lighting, to make sure you don't work in the dark! Their unobtrusiveness also allows you to have the style of light fittings elsewhere that you want, which might not be enough light on their own. Regarding the ceiling fittings; I do get that different ceiling heights are a challenge. It all depends on what you want to light, and if the lights as positioned will work for your lifestyle. However, I wouldn't worry too much, and instead make sure that all areas have enough light for their purpose. Depending on the fittings chosen, you could even have one large pendant rather than the two that are shown over the island (between the RSJs); although two smaller fittings would also work, as shown. What will that single, circled fitting light? It generally works best if the light fitting has a specific purpose and is lighting something in particular rather than just a patch of floor. Would it make sense to have it over the island at that point rather than between the island and cabinets? That could also be a track over that part of the island if that is what you like, as long at is is simple enough to work with whatever pendant fittings you choose for the other area. Or it could be a pendant matching the others, even with the different ceiling heights.

I’m putting my new kitchen in next month and like you have my hob in the island. I’m going for 3 large pendants above but have opted for a built in extractor in my hob. It has the option to be vented or recirculated and you just clean the filter. This could be an option if you think extractor plus pendants might be too busy.
