Help! What size pendant light for stair case?
I am hoping to have a feature pendant above the mid landing of an L-shaped stair case. The staircase will only be 97cm wide but we will have nice high ceilings. The pendant I have my eye on comes in 3 sizes, with the largest being 60cms. I really want an oversized feature pendant but dont want it to look ‘too‘ big....I welcome any thoughts or comments on an appropriate size given width of staircase. Many thanks.

Comments (1)You have some good ideas but if you're going to sell soon and aren't planning on taking the soffit out, I would just do some minor changes and keep the cabinets (just add a couple cabinets). I wouldn't move the sink but just get a nice stainless steel sink and update faucet. I'd get a stainless stove vent. Remove the wall on the left of the refrigerator but then just do a small pull out pantry on the right of the refrigerator. And, put a cabinet above the refrigerator and make it look built in. A glass backsplash, can lights on the ceiling and pendants above the penninsula. I think a raised counter will make the kitchen/room feel smaller....See MoreHelp! Not sure about house room layout, especially location of kitchen
Comments (17)Thank you everyone for your comments. We live outside Christchurch, and the house was badly damaged in the quakes here. The post-quake rebuild process could safely be described as slightly chaotic, and the house company I am using are located some distance away (like on the North Island), which is why discussion with the architect has been - em - less than optimal. The architect threw something at me to get me out of my comfort zone I think and this is what's freaking me out! I think the windows on the east side are to come (no reason for them not being there), and probably a skylight in the kitchen roof. The section of land is narrow and steep, (this is a historic port town and with access from the south (where the view is); there is no parking other than on the street (south). Patricia - the laundry doesn't sit right with me either! Looks a bit like it's been glued on the side of the hosue. And it is too small as it is to store coats, shoes etc. This is the access to the back garden - thus the door (also means muddy boots can be dumped when we come in!). Entering a house through a living room is very common over here, especially where space is at a premium (small section, small house footprint)....See MoreLooking for help on bedrooms layout
Comments (29)I think the first layout is fine. You might want to consider moving the door for the storage room of the master bedroom so that it opens into the hall. That way the kids can use it for overflow storage. Also, that hallway is big enough that I think it could hold a large armour, providing more closet space. (There's no need to sleep in the same room as your clothes, so long as they're not too far off.) Also, don't forget that while the drawing shows kids in double beds, this need not be the case, so there will be more room for furniture (dressers or whatever) in their rooms. Finally, that step to bedroom 4 will not be odd at all. I've seen it in other homes. It looks clumsy in the drawing but it isn't. What you'll see when you come up the stairs is a bedroom door on a slight diagonal. It's only an odd jagged step if you walk like a robot, in straight lines along the wall, which is what your eye is doing on the drawing but you won't do in real life....See MoreNeed your help for short & narrow entry hallway
Comments (9)Paint the inside of your door the white trim color, it will soften the space and make it seem larger. Add 2 large art pieces on the left wall and a larger vertical mirror on the right side. Paint wall color to match whatever color is adjacent to the space. Add a patterned rug with color to the walkway....See MoreJo Wst
3 years agoThank you for your replies - any feedback is much welcomed. We are building two townhouses, the L shaped stairs will be ours (the other to be sold in due course, but same issue). Plans marked with P for location of proposed pendants....many thanks again

3 years agoI think a cluster would look fabulous, more so than a single light, would really highlight your stairs.

3 years agoThank you for all of your feedback & suggestions. I found this, maybe something like the longer pendant? I think it is 42cms wide... ( we are on the beach so style will be ‘coastal’). Thoughts ?
