We want to replace these 80s wall lights but I don’t even know what they are called in order to do some research into what to replace them with. Any ideas? Thank you!

Good points about the drawers, I agree they would look better moved to the end of the run. Then perhaps I could have doors that open over the corner of the breakfast bar to improve access. Although I was going to have bins in that end cupboard so it might not work after all. Currently considering scrapping the oven tower and maybe keeping our current freestanding oven (or getting a range if budget permits). I'm so indecisive and feeling the pressure as my husband just says yeah to everything I suggest without really thinking about it! The breakfast bar is currently 113cm plus any overhang so I can't work out of pendant lights would look a bit cramped over it? If so, perhaps just one central pendant light with spotlights. I quite like a more vintage style. I'll be keeping my green delonghi kettle and toaster so will try and work in colour to blend.

Hi, That looks to just be a moulded concrete paving slab. You could take one to a local paving supplier or somebody that could cast their own paving and if they don't have anything similar they may be able to take a mould from one of yours and cast you some more. These are very similar http://www.lonstone.co.uk/regency_brick.html https://www.stonewarehouse.co.uk/paving-stoneware/edging/rochester-soldier-edging Or you could contact https://www.brettpaving.co.uk/home-owners/garden-paving/traditional-1/rochester-brick/ as they may be able to help. Good luck.

what is the best height for wall lights?

If its your own house then low enough so that you don't get glare from the bulb and high enough that they don't bump you head! Just kidding. Anywhere between 150cm to 170cm I believe is the general rule but it can depend on other factors like perception and proportions and even the type of bulb and the light it puts out, but yes 150 - 170cm.

Hello I'm looking for a ceiling light shade like the one in this photo - it looks like it's made out of metal in the photo but I believe it's fabric? Linen? Could anyone help me work out how to define it, to make finding equivalents a little easier? Many thanks! Alice
