4 years agolast modified: 4 years agoI really like the Tom Dixon one but it doesn't look much bigger than the existing? You may like this which is one of my favourites. i think it comes in 2 sizes but the small one is 140cm wide and I think the cord length is 3m and it would be quite effective hung low. I've attached a link but a couple of places seem to have a discount on first purchase

Comments (10)We're all for a bit of hard work, and would definitely paint the cupboards. You are right not to use F&B, it's an inferior paint compared to dulux, and not correct for your purposes, being Eggshell finish. Dulux Trade Satinwood is far better, gives a better finish and is hardwearing. ( It's also more expensive than F&B i'm afraid, but you get what you pay for ). I'd paint the cupboards in a pale grey and replace the knobs. Give the area behind the bed a good dark grey finish, to help with making your choice of headboard really stand out.

Comments (12)To answer your other question about the use 2 different forms of lighting in a kitchen diner.... You can always look for lighting ranges that offer various sizes of similar designs. But choosing different designs is nothing to fear of as long as it's matching in a way. For example, colour or a detail element. Just as an example you could adjust this to a height of a semi flush and and pair it with a larger light in grey finish and / or with crystal details.

Comments (6)Definitely! If it helps I don’t think it would be much to change it over to something you fancy, sell it on and put the money towards what you want, it doesn’t even look like something I’d use in a dining room it’s more kitchen style to me....See MoreLight fitting problem
Comments (0)I bought three pendant light sets and had them fitted in the bedrooms but have since found out that my lamp shades don’t fit! The pendant dimensions are shown below. I assume the lampshades have standard fittings as I’ve never had problems using them before. They have three prongs into a central circle (think it’s called a spider fitting). But the central circle is too small to fit over the bottom of the pendant. Is there a way to adapt the lampshades to fit? The only things I’ve found are to make the central ring smaller rather than bigger. Thanks for your help!...See More

What a stunning home you have! The height of your ceiling is a great feature and I agree that you need to bring some drama into this space.
Here is a link to our entire ceiling lights collection as I believe we will definitely have a light that will fit your taste.
I will leave a few options below which I think would fit beautifully with this space;

4 years agoThanks so much Minnie101, Monica and Lightcraft for your suggestions. Yes I think I really need to go big and the Tom Dixon one as a single wouldn’t be right. I’m quite liking the idea of several big lights at different heights. Unless I got 3 of the Tom Dixon or similar and maybe in multiple colours as I have brass and silver in this room already.. . I think they can be put together? So, tricky and I want to 100% love it.

4 years agoHi. I can't see Tom Dixon does the copper one anymore. I've tried mocking it up for you but it's hard to tell where the flat part of the ceiling is hence the different positions! i would find it's hard to justify that kind of price so might look at replicas personally!

4 years agolast modified: 4 years agoHi, A couple of quick questions to keep in mind when looking for light fittings for this room. Do you have access to the ceiling over the room? If not then you may not be able to have more than one light fitting as without access you would have to take down the existing ceiling to run the wiring to any additional pendants, or have the cables surface mounted. The other thing that you would need to bear in mind when buying a new light fitting is that you will need to be able to get a strong enough fixing to hold it or any additional fittings in place. Your existing fitting is fairly small so may not have that solid a fixing, you could though potentially fit any new fixings to the existing timber trusses. It would be worth checking that if you do not already know before committing to buying a fitting. Also if you do buy a Sputnic type fitting such as the ones we have used below check first how many bulbs you will need as the cost of bulbs can quickly add up especially if you want them to be dimmable! Good luck with your search and sorry to throw a few potential problems into the mix.

4 years agoHi, You have a stunning room. I have just listed below some design ideas that would all have the scale and impact in the room but without taking away from the beautiful beams, clean lined kitchen and furniture and combination of contemporary classic and great views. Vibia Wireflow have a large number of options. You can take a look at their videos.. and the fittings are dimmable and easy to install. The sputniks and chandeliers are also dimmable.
