Need help choosing pendants? *photos attached"
Hi Guys,
I'm really struggling on deciding which 2 pendant light fittings would finish our kitchen diner off. As you can see we have quite a pale colour palette.
Any suggestions welcome or advice welcome.
So far we are considering:

Need advice about less ugly flooring option--French rental apartment
Commentaires (2)I see your point, It does look ugly :) Since its a rental apartment, do you have the authorization to remove it ? Because unfortunately, you can't put down vinyle over lino, it will not work (and its not because of the uneven floor). You can remove the lino and put another one, less ugly. It can be nice actually :) http://designmag.fr/design-dinterieur/lino-sol.html You are speaking about sticker, its quite cheap, why not trying and see if it fits with an uneven floor ? Although Im not sure that it will look pretty. Last solution, you can paint the lino, it will not last forever but it could be nice. Ask for expert advice to by the appropriate painting pots....

Commentaires (0)Choosing an Interior Designer If you are thinking of working with an interior designer, be aware that the relationship is, by its very nature, intimate. Given this, you reap immeasurable benefits when you take some time upfront to consider just what it is you want from this person you're about to invite into your life. As with any relationship, clear communication can go a long way to alleviating any misunderstandings. Here are a few questions to ask yourself, questions to ask prospective designers, and some hard-won tips we've picked up along the way. Assess Your Work Style Before you pick up the phone and start calling prospects, spend a few moments thinking carefully about your preferred method of working. This little bit of soul searching will go a long way to ensuring you hire the right person, and will help to lay a solid foundation for a successful working relationship. For starters, think carefully about your answer to these questions: At what level do you want to be involved in the creative process? Do you want to be consulted on the nitty-gritty, day-to-day details, or are you more interested in big picture issues? Similarly, at what level do you want to be involved in the product research? Are you looking for comprehensive, "soup to nuts" guidance, or do you consider yourself design-savvy and only in need of assistance with color, space planning and resources? Are you a visual person or a tactile person? Will you be satisfied with a designer showing you photos of products, or do you prefer to see and feel everything before deciding whether it is right for you? Do you prefer to be shown many options or fewer? Are you open to the input of others? Are you able to make choices with confidence, or do you tend to vacillate? What are your expectations in terms of a timeline Determine the Scope of Your Project The scope of a project to some extent dictates the qualifications and experience required of the interior designer you are hiring. If you are building a new home or addition, or undertaking a major renovation to existing space, you are likely already working with an architect. This is good. Architects and designers often work in concert, balancing the aesthetics of the home's structure, or "bones," with the interior furnishings and finishes. You may want to get your architect involved in the selection of the interior designer—whether it's recommending someone he or she has already worked with, or using one of the interior designers the firm may have on staff. If you're redecorating a single room or have a limited budget for a space that does not require structural change, you may not need an interior designer at all. You may be happy hiring a specialist, such as a color consultant, who can work with your existing furnishings and help you revamp the space with new paint color and fabric selections....

Commentaires (36)Microwave next to the table would solve the bad looks and the height issue. Normally upper cabinets can be about 48cm above countertop, but since it looks better to have them on the same height as the built-in hood, you'll need 60cm. But if you're 1.60m you could consider a free hanging hood and some upper cabinets next to it, otherwise all uppers would be too high for you and you'd only use the lower shelf. And even better: Buy an oven with microwave function! (already posted that I think) Oven with microwave is different than microwave with grill. I even have a 12 year old tiny Panasonic combi that makes perfect bread and pizza!... Voir plusKayne Cross

il y a 7 ansHi Kayne, if the lights should be statement lights, maybe some of ours could be an idea as well. They would go perfectly with your table and the chairs. We ship for free inside EU and all ligths are handmade in Denmark. Best Nele | Yndlingsting

il y a 7 ansWe used a blue Fly Kartell with similar table and chairs and it is definitely a statement piece. Two of them might be a bit too much though, they are quite large. We also have a white kitchen next to it, with bare lamps in colourful fittings. These really come in any colour you want.

il y a 7 ansDernière modification :il y a 7 ansI think you should keep the artwork as it adds colour to the room and makes it look more lively. And I like the style of pendants you are going for. You can always add more colour with kitchen accessories and some foliage if you prefer the lights to stay white.
If I had to choose from the two I'd go for the second one.
Here are few other options.
Industrial Parabolic Pendants (available in duck egg, white, grey)
The Duck Egg coloured pendant would match your artwork and add more colour...
1 Light Gourd Drop Shaped Ceiling Pendant - White
Norway 1 Light Wood & Metal Ceiling Pendant - Light Wood
Good luck and we'd like to see what you have chosen in the end.

And Kayne, below a picture of how they can look above a dining table.
It is the small black one though.

il y a 7 ansHi Charlie
What a beautiful kitchen, and I love the artwork you have behind the table. We're all about colour at Curiousa so I would have to agree with Renaissance Interiors and suggest going for something colourful to add that extra wow factor.
Some ideas about our colours and pendants here for you: http://www.curiousa.co.uk/pendants

il y a 7 ansHi Kayne Cross, to add a little colour and variety to the room, I think a copper tone pendant would work really well. Here are a few examples of the ones we supply. We also do them in grey / graphite tones, but I think the copper would complement the wood worktop. Hope this helps!
