You could try Jim Lawrence, they do lots of really beautiful lighting and have so many finishes to choose from so even if the pendant and wall lights aren't in exactly the same 'range' you can make sure the colour or finish matches so they tie in. Here's a pairing that might work with the scandi style but do look through all the options.

Both look lovely but always nice adding a bit of colour

I think you can buy specific primers for melamine but a multi surface primer would also work, zinsser is excellent, I think it's zinsser B I N you need but check which one. If you're painting them you could fill the holes for new handles? I would personally use a pro though, melamine is obviously plastic so doesn't absorb anything so you want a good finish (I'm not doubting your painting skills btw as that sounds a bit rude, I suspect they're better than mine!). That's tricky with lights.. Can you see much in there? Ideally I would also add downlights and a pendant over the table but that's a seriously messy job as you'd need the ceiling reskimmed after. You could look at something like a spider light (obviously not one hanging as low as this, just adding pics of what I mean!) or maybe a multi arm light to disperse it in different directions? You can also buy multi outlet ceiling roses so then can have the light of your choice. You could potentially have a plug in to the left of the window. I don't suppose there's a socket by the table?!

Hi, We would second linen shades. They are lightweight and thin, allowing a wide array of light to filter through. You could also try rattan shades these allow a large amount of light out through the gaps in the shades. Glass shades are also ideal and non of the light is filtered as it comes through the shade.
