You could have 6 or 8 spotlights around the edge and one centre light but the problem with a centre light is finding the perfect one! It also depends on if you house is modern then just go for the spotlight or if you pr house is old then go for one chandelier or a perfect light! Hope this helps x

Hi Sheron, Kitchen is looking great - is it just just behind the hob you were looking to do? Couple of ideas: 1) could get a piece of clear glass cut to suit and screw in place (with rubber grommets to protect glass) - you can then use it like a picture frame and put photos/maps/postcards etc behind it - and change whenever you want 2) I'm still stalling on what to do with our hob splash back, so I've painted that section of the wall in matching paint, but in an eggshell finish. This means it's wipe-down and keeps the room quite minimal whilst I decide - but I might keep it this way! 3) tiles always look great and are very durable - I'd always recommend getting lots of samples before committing to any of them though 4) you could get a slab of the same worktop material to run up the wall? Re: the stools - whilst not very modern looking, they look fairly robust and reliable - so you could always investigate keeping these and painting these in your chosen feature colour?

What a lovely home you have... here's another option that would look great above your dining table... The fabric shade will defuse the light and create a subtle ambience. You can adjust the chain so it fit's almost flush to the ceiling.

I like your photo's shade style. What you perhaps can do is source the ceiling rose / suspension and the actual shade separately. It gives you more choice and will probably save you money as well. We got a lovely shade through eBay and just hung it on a similar suspension to the one in your pic. this might give you an idea of suspensions: http://www.lightingbypaul.co.uk/search/suspensions
