Hello Kat, I really like your open plan! It is so spacious, you can really do a lot to it. If you don't like the style of the pendant light, perhaps you could change them. Have you thought of getting one in the same colour as an ornament you have or you could match it with any other object with the same colour. That can look stylish and modern. When it comes to decorating, you have to think which is or are your favourite styles. Never mind if you have a Victorian home as modern/contemporary and traditional style can be a great combination. I would suggest you not to get the boring spot lights as with the help of high technology there are a million varieties in lighting and lighting design. Have you considered keeping pendant lights and add some led light installation under the furniture, wall, etc. ? Good Luck with your Project! StJames Design Interiors

I did think about doing the whole room dark, however we're potentially looking to move in a couple of years time, and worry the whole room being dark would put people off... especially as it's the smallest bedroom so more of a nursery for most people! Where as with so much white around as well I thought it still keeps it more appealing to a wider ranger of people? Like in the pic below! If it was my forever house I'd def consider the whole room dark! Where are those dark shelves from? They're gorgeous! Also have been looking at that brass side table from made! Lighting wise I'm thinking of lamps, but more general/uplighter rather than spotlights and have the lamp below to go in as well, although that's more coppery than brass!

They usually come with metal chains don't they? Therefore, if you were able to find a joist in the ceiling above, you can put a hook in to it to hang the chain from.

I think this looks great. Could I please ask is the ceiling brilliant white? In my experience decorators are a bit old school about ceilings and radiators being bright white but in my opinion painting the radiator in Dix Blue would make it disappear. In my opinion the slightly vintage feel of Dix blue is better suited with a soft or aged white- I like Cornforth White for its grey quality which in my opinion only looks grey when contrasted against brilliant white but would soften the look in this room.
