k31th less WHY; more WOT Site Developer 29,086 Member For: 16y 8m 22d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 06/03/21 08:40 AM Share Posted 06/03/21 08:40 AM oh gee... I'm not a fan of those pendant lights, personally, with how low they recommend it to be... but I'm a big lanky POS that gets in the way of anything that's even slightly low so I'm a bit biased in that opinion 1 hour ago, JETURBO said: There’s a bit of a magic formula for pendant drop lights and surfaces so this one is bang on the 810mm distance gap. Yeh the island is 2000mm x 2000mm and you can kind of never have enough bench space especially with a big Wog family that entertains often, it’s not that hard to reach to centre really 810mm... yikes... of course it's great sized for entertainment purposes; just ask the adults to bend over and get to the tiramisu in the centre hahahha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means it’s nearly 1800 off the ground and it’s over an island... doesn’t matter how tall you are, if you bend over to grab something there’s no way you’d hit your head on it... unless you’re drunk dancing ontop of the island 😂😂😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally the custom made cabinets and the lights arrived and it has transformed the space and j@ only hates it 40% instead of 120% so I am taking that as a huge win! 🤣 I will photo in stages: Stage 1: The dreaded pink tile Stage 2: Grouted and looking better. Stage 3: Sinks, Tap wear, basins and lights Stage 4: Custom Cabinets Stage 5: Mounting Stage 6: Completion 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All our down lights are cool white (white white) and all feature lights are warm white. I’m no lighting designer but I did this for the “homely” feel at night, but all the globes are LED so easily changed. Given those same lights are above our bedside tables it makes for a warm and dimmable light. The bathroom and ensuite still have white down lights in the space so you don’t have to use the warm wall lights (eg when doing make up etc) I also changed the downstairs powder room light ( I didn’t like the one I originally picked) ... now it’s gold and clear instead of black... before: After: And the boys rooms came out funky too.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be a good thing having the bedroom lights different than the rest of the house. Haha it's almost like you know what you're doing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
