Hi Sue, do you have a photo to show the space? It may be better to have the pendant over the dining as a pendant in the lounge would have to be higher up therefore may look odd. General lighting would be needed at times and then soft lighting for reading or tv watching but hard to say without seeing the room If it is between two sofas it could limit their placement in the future or any changes to the furniture layout. A tall lamp may serve you better but it depends on your lighting needs & the room, ceiling height etc.

I used to have tiled floors at the old place ..the whole downstairs was tiled ( lounge, study, living room , kitchen, laundry) terracotta ones..not cold at all contrary to what people think .. the kids loved riding their trikes around the house as it was massive open living space 36 squares in all. we had a wool rug where the living area was so kids can lounge around.. I find tiles are easier to maintain than floor boards.A quick vacuum and mop is all it needed and it hid the dirt well..whereas floor boards collects dust and hair etc.. Timber floorboards are nice to look at..the floating /laminate looks cheap and nasty I'd rather tiles instead.

Your scheme is very Deco like, the cornice is I'am finding the window treatment too heavy perhaps change to a lighter colour of light beige or white as per photo Colour scheme at the moment is black white and silver it needs a bit of lightening up to add some warmth but I can see Ghost dining chairs really working in your dining room but I think you mentioned keeping the current furniture cheers

It looks like a clever update -- looking at the photos though , it looks like an addition has been built ( at a 20 or 30 degree angle ) on one end ? Everyone is different , and the house looks like it had good bones , but I would have thought only 1 addition ( either the 'end' or the rear room' ) would have been more cost effective to get the extra space ? Overall , very well done !
