400mm sounds good! Did you go for a smaller pendant?

My last household purchase was new sliding doors to the outside from my dining room. This then led to the building of a deck, new railing on said deck and existing terrace, new blinds as the old window length curtains no longer did the trick, then the paving stone path to the deck from the garden gate, some new planting to accommodate that, AND outdoor lighting for what has now become an alternative entrance to the house! Oh, and painting as well. So I can liken my last purchase to a bit of a triffid - it kept growing! But SO worth it! It has added another room/space to my house, increased light and warmth, added value and created a more welcoming entrance than before. Love it!

Have you tried a custom lighting specialist?

Changing out my pendant lights dramatically changed my kitchen for the better. The slim modern horizontal shapes made the room feel wider and the colour changed the colour of the wood grain finish of the cabinets.
