Hi there, I agree with a lot of the suggestions above. Consider the textures, colours and finishes of your furnishings and artwork and think of the pendants as an opportunity to reiterate some of these. So for instance, if you have some black metal in the coffee table legs, you may bring in some of that in the kitchen pendants and look for say glass pendants with black fixtures. Coloured pendants are fun but they can date a lot quicker - bring in colour in the room through artwork, cushions and accessories.

Not really adding anything new here, but I would consider painting the recess behind the fridge dark, and pendant lights over the island, but not not necessarily dark pendants, something lighter to tie with the rest of the room, brighten it up a bit and define it more as its own space. A large fruit bowl (white?), plant, vase etc on the benchtop will make a huge difference on its own as someone suggested. I would play with that a little first to see what difference it makes before making big changes. Lighter stools could also make a big difference. Put a bit of fabric/clothing etc you have around over the seat pads and see how it would look with new colours to lighten them up too. Your room seems really close to being fabulous.

Thanks Julie, in terms of size, what do you think will be the ideal diameter for the pendant? The wall mounted lights are a great idea but unfortunately we didn't considered that initially - all the plastering and electrical has been already done. Thanks again!

Thank you Julie for your advice i will definatelly remove the clock. unfortunately i can not remove the pelmets. But was trying to find a light fitting that has some of the shades of the room with black framing. Similar to the one on the kitchen light but with some beige or honey colors do you have any suggestions or pics that resembles something like that? Where can i find that gorgeous floor lamp that you posted? Thanks again.ὠ9
