Hi Pazz, I really like your idea of seagrass wallpaper behind the bed, it would add texture and warmth plus make more of a feature of the window on that wall (compared with the other windows). If the wallpaper is dark enough, the concrete pendants would look great (but the cord will definately have to be jigged because you'll ruin the clean black rectangle of your window if the cord cuts it). I'm personally a fan of the Tom Dixon Beat pendant shape, and curved or rounded pendant would also soften the room which has lots of angular edges, plus it will throw wider light if the mouth is large enough! It's a lovely room, would love to see pic when you make your final selection! :-)

Amazingly beautiful!!! There is another Australian designer called Lighting Republic that does something very very similar, but with a brass lamp holder. http://www.lightingrepublic.com.au/en/collections-en/organic Or see here, its in our Sydney showroom.

We did a kitchen very similar to yours and went thru a similar dilemma last year. Ended up with a large sculptural drum pendant with a diffuser in the centre of kitchen and led recessed spots above island. Spots and drum are on two separate control switches with both fitted with dimmers. Led can be harsh if not able to be dimmed. Plastic on our new dishwasher went from blue to yellow overnight on first day and we had to ask for dimmer. Led great as task lighting but postion them so your head doesn't block light as you work. We play with lighting depending on whether we are working or relaxing. Money we saved on three pendants was spent on one drum.

I wouldn't go any lower than 600mm from the top of the bedside table. Ultimately the height would depend on the height of the bed and the size of the pendants you are using. Hope this helps, MKG
