This is the 'black' version. Do you think that it will still get lost and we need something with more punch. Still deciding on best material/colour for splashback. We will have a window over the sink and glass fronted cabinets along the wall behind the island bench. This is the light we thought we could use above the sink (probably not enough space for downlights to be installed) http://www.fatshackvintage.com.au/products/city-hall-flush-mount-light. Thank you

I love industrial too it's raw.. clean lines..our place used to be a shop..terrace out the front then they built an extension out the back to house the printers..hence the high ceilings..we visited Japan just before renovating this place thus the Japan render..pendants were made by one of our client to say thank you..court yard etc

If you want to stay with the Tiffany look you could try to find some small simple ones like these. Otherwise I like the idea of simple glass pendants with an Edison decorative globe.

It's all about proportions, the individual space and how it works. If they are directly above a bench top (or table) you can get away with hanging them a bit lower than normal because you don't have to make sure they're above head cracking height, but if they are above an island you don't want to have to be constantly peering around the pendant lights to talk to someone on the other side.
