Hi, It looks like you already have a dark wood feature mirror in that room so have you thought about having matching shelves in the same colour? Chunky floating ones would look nice to hold towels on etc. If you wanted to go even further, then you could have the wall built out so that the shelving was recessed into the wall with little lights above each shelf - but of course it's a lot more work & money!

You certainly have the height to carry such a look but I wonder whether you would lose the definition in some of that beautiful cornice? I like ceilings painted the same colour as the walls. I considered one shade lighter (ie ammonite) to have a slight contrast. You could also paint the cornice white and the ceiling cornforth but I think that is a more traditional look. On balance my favourite would be the cornice and ceiling painted one shade lighter. What have you done in the rest of the house with the ceilings?

Hi Kate - we have two bathrooms and both have wired-in LED mirrors, and they’re great! The first one came from Bathstore years ago. We liked it so much that we bought a second one for our en-suite. The second one came from an online company called Pebble Grey, and we chose one with a small cupboard built in. It’s a godsend - it stores a surprisingly large amount of stuff that I seem to accumulate!!! I can’t remember the costs, but given that I’m as frugal as frugal can be, I think it wasn’t too bad!

Just about to start new kitchen/ diner extension and trying to figure out lighting options over the island which will have the hob on it. Problem is the island will span across existing kitchen and into extension which will have higher vaulted ceiling - this makes the mood lighting options a bit tricky without a flush ceiling. I don’t like the option of pendant lights over the island with one hanging from the vaulted ceiling on a much longer cable. I wondered if there are cooker extraction hoods (which we will have over the hob) available which have built in ambient lighting for the island as well as downlighting for the hob…has anyone come across such a design and can recommend any?
