FINDING THAT PERFECT LIGHT....

 Lighting.....that often overlooked, but oh so important element to any design scheme.  

Practicalities aside, the right lighting can absolutely transform a room, creating a cosy and intimate atmosphere.  It is something that I try to concentrate closely on with my design projects for clients, and of course here at home.

With dimmable recessed lights in the high vaulted ceiling in our kitchen, along with under cupboard lighting and carefully placed table lamps in the open plan sitting room beyond, and of course my compulsory candles, I had always been fairly pleased with the effect at night.....but something was always missing?  It was of course, the perfect pendant light over the island unit.

After a little online shopping, the purchase and delivery of this lovely Danish design, and the help of our new whizz of an electrician who completed the cleverest of installations (by discretely drilling through beams etc!)....we now have a beautiful new light. A feature to break up the space and a cosy new addition to our evenings.


With a wealth of styles out there to choose from, beautiful pendant lighting has become an exciting design statement in any kitchen....and for your inspiration, take a look at these beauties.
