What words/thoughts come to mind when you see this light?
Comments (27)Snap. We have the same art deco fitting (from your WIR) in our front hallway. We have a Federation home but the last owner regularly modernised it after he & his young family moved in in the 1950's so we have all sorts of eclectic stuff going on. I also know how hard it is to find the right light fitting, we have a c.1970's saucer like fitting in our tv room (courtesy of the last owners modernising) that I detest but it's still there because I can't find anything quite right for the space. Have included some pics of light fittings that might (???) work for your bedroom.......See MorePendant pain - help please !!
Comments (21)The black is amazing, though I'd worry about crazy patterns over your kitchen bench, and if they're real rattan, about keeping them dust and moisture free. Kitchens get steamy with cooking and dishwashers, so it may not be the greatest choice. Finally (sorry!) I also think they're quite busy to have more than one, I think it would be more spectacular as a single feature. If you love this pendant, could you take one and put it over a corner armchair or similar in your lounge area?...See MoreWe need advice to choose 3 Pendant lights for kitchen.
Comments (10)Just a few questions; Will you also be having downlights in your kitchen? If you are, then your pendants need only be "decorative", rather than functional. If you're not, then you will want to be sure they are functional primarily for the space. Bear in mind that "Metal" shades create a focused light downwards and do not provide ambient light. I have attached a selection of chrome pendants from one of our suppliers that could suit your space beautifully. What do you think?...See MoreHelp with bathroom vanity light placement
Comments (9)I just finished our new ensuite, which has a 1600mm vanity. I have 4 lighting circuits (switches): 1. 2 x downlights for the main bathroom in a similar place to you. 2. Another 2 x downlights ( 1 over each sink) 250mm off the wall (vanity is 500mm deep so halfway between person and mirror). 3. Extractor Fan / Heat Lamp and 4. Strip light under vanity for late night trips. The downlights are dimmable so you can have the main bathroom in a medium light and then you can choose how much to crank your vanity lights. The idea is that the light should shine onto your face hence they are installed in front of the person and they are on a gimble so they can be tilted to point at your face. I think you are in Australia so I can tell you they are the Domus Aqua Tilt 13 and are fully sealed (ip65) so no issue having over your shower, etc. They are also very bright as the light bounces off the white tiles, so really they are only needed when applying makeup. It's hard to know exactly where your lighting needs to go when you just have plans in front of you, but you could always get your electrician to wire both for wall sconces and downlights and then when you are further along you can choose whether to cut downlights or have wall lights. (Remember to take pictures and measurements of the wire locations before they close in the walls / ceiling!) If you try downlights first, it's also a lot easier to change your mind (i.e patch a ceiling) than wall lights as that usually means drilling through tiles.....See Moredreamer
