Need help for kitchen pendant lights - do I match dining pendant???
Comments (10)Never been a fan of matching lighting exactly, but instead suggest coordinating the pendants with your current fixture. You don't have to stick to ball-shaped either and can maybe go with a tubular shape. If you're hubby is stuck on chrome, maybe a chrome tube would work... if you want more glass, we also carry a line of pendant lighting and I'm sure you'll find something to go with it or atleast give you an idea....See MorePendant lights leave me hanging.
Comments (7)@Neryl, you cracked me up when I read your post ha-ha @lakshmi17, All jokes aside, if you want to go to the trouble of having beautiful pendant lights and your ceiling is so high, get a professional!!! Save up if you have to but it's the best way to go in this case, you might be surprised that it's not as expensive as the cost of the lights you intend to have fitted. I paid over $130 for each of the three lights I have bought to have installed over my dining table and I'm darn sure my electrician won't be charging me $400 to install them!!!...See MoreRug and pendant light tips?
Comments (7)Hi Sarah, I would go with a large rug in the lounge- if you can get all four feet of the couch on it as well as the tv cabinet it will create a clear ‘lounge room’ zone. This will be a costly rug due to the size. You can choose a piece of carpet that you like and have it cut and edged to create a customised rug if your own. Adding a large pendant over the dining table will mark this as another separate zone. I am personally not a fan of pendant lights over the island, I just think they add clutter to the space and have been overused - I’m sure many will disagree. You can have another row of down lights over the island if you need task lighting there and add led lighting under your overheads at the back as an accent light that will create a soft wash of light down the splash back. Finally ( even though you didn’t ask!) the white powerpoint to the front of your island stands out agains the black and works against it, swapping this for a black outlet will help make it disappear....See MoreHave you used a fabric pendant light in your kitchen
Comments (1)It’s not something I would do but there are spray on fabric protectors you can buy that would be worth using....See More

7 years agoHi Debbie, we are getting either 3 or 4 in warm colours, probably bronze, amber, aubergine, & steel blue. It's like going into a candy store in the Mark Douglass studio!! Clear translucent sounds wonderful. I'm sure they will look amazing in your space!!

I'm now changing my mind to the drape or the soft serve...... I'm getting a new kitchen after storm damage. My splashback is going to hand made tiles from Jatana Interiors. What do you think from my photo? I know it's a symmetrical pattern but I do like to take risks!

7 years agoSounds fabulous Debbie. I'm wondering if you've seen the Trixie design? Similar to the dinted orb but smaller scale (and cheaper!) which may work given your concern about the bulkhead size relative to the pendants. Also, as you have grey/black tones in your kitchen (benchtop, splashback and tap) I think the smokey grey colour would look fabulous and tie these elements together. Just my opinion ...

7 years ago@Zaffa I had swung around to this smokey grey colour this morning! I had originally loved the trixie but then forgot about it until now. Thanks! We have our TV unit in a grey cement so it will def will work with that. I really appreciate all your advice!!

7 years agoWe are getting a new kitchen through insurance so we will be cutting down the privacy lip. There is will be 135cm from bulk head to bench giving us 45cm to play with.... The small Dinted orb is 18cm & the trixie is 12 or 15cm. If I hang individually then 3. If I cluster on the corner with 5 or 6 small trixies then I would keep the other 2 as downlights. I'm now tempted to do the latter. The problem with MDDesigns is they don't have a named picture of every colour option. Amber/bronze? We will also be removing the bread bin section & making that last cabinet the same depth as the other 4 to open it up further & stream line it.

7 years ago@zaffa I went into MD Design yesterday.......OMG I was a kid in a candy store. Mark was there & with his creative input, I bought my 3.

This is what I got....
The long cluster for my stairwell
The XX large dinted orb on the right of the pic for above one end of my island bench
The vintage smokey grey piece for above my powder room vanity
2 small bronze dinted orbs for above floating bedside tables in mater bedroom
Happy with my choices
