Lighting

A collection of the best lights for your kitchen and/dining room. You can view the complete lighting collection including floor and wall for others which may suit your particular needs.

Gold Bar Ceiling Light Graham & Green

If the idea of three pendant lights over the kitchen island or table is beginning to feel a bit cliched then why not a modern take on the old strip light of old. Only this one has reeded glass to soften the glare and brass fittings. It’s the strip light but not as we know it. You can check your space via the dimensions but be aware that it weighs nearly 20kg now if only my kitchen ceiling were higher.
Hazelette pendant Pooky

Great to bring a bit of softness to a kitchen these bubble glass lamps also come in a wall version and you choose between sliver and brass arms and amber or pink shades. If you pick the ceiling version the cable is a pleasing twisted silver fabric – details count and Pooky is good at them.
Neo 3D printed shade by Plumen Plumen

A 3D printed shade made from recyled PET bottles by the masters of designer eco lighting Plumen. Comes in black and white but if you need a specific colour they suggest you get in touch.
Fish Light Bellucci Dowsing & Reynolds

This’ll be a divider for sure but I think it’s utterly fabulous. It would be great in a dining room, if you have such a thing these days, but would also elevate the eating end of the kitchen and make a statement in a hall. Sourced in Italy, the brass fish measures 36cm and the light comes with a 2m long black fabric cable and ceiling rose. You can choose if you want to add this frosted bulb or source your own.
larger spangle domed pendant pooky

This is made from neatly coiled strands of brass wire which will focus on the object below (always think of what your pendant is shining directly onto – make sure it’s more than just a bare patch of floor) as well as allowing slivers of light to escape round the sides. For real impact buy the smaller one as well and hang it slightly higher.
melville wall sconce pooky

This mercurised glass sconce will diffuse the light gently outwards. Bring a bit of luxe to the kitchen (instead of the dreaded grid of spotlights) or try them in a bedroom to create a softer light than a pendant would bring.
Connaught Ceiling Light Dowsing & Reynolds

Another pendant light that doesn’t hang low so this would be good for a low-ceilinged dining room for example. The arms also mean the light will stretch to every corner. Fix it to a dimmer switch if you can then it works for a wake-up breakfast as well as a romantic dinner.
Rory Ceiling Light Anthropologie

Modern ceilings weren’t made with dramatic pendant lights in mind so this, which fits flush and drops 36cm down, might do the job and is more interesting than a spotlight.
Elipse French Cane Ceiling Light French Connection

Rattan continues its inexorable march towards interior domination but this light will bring a new texture to a room (always a good idea) spread the light out both up and down. Rattan, in case you didn’t know, can grow in areas that would otherwise be wastelands and it grows fast before being harvested by hand.
Umage Jazz Lampshade Dowsing & Reynolds

So simple and so pretty this works as a standalone but also imagine a group of three hung at different heights - perhaps in a corner or on a landing.
