We're having a major re-decoration in our house.
We've just bought this wallpaper and am about to buy 2 of these for some wall light fittings we have.

Do you think this would go with everything as a main light fitting, bearing in mind the wall ones are glass?

Thanks!

Yeah, TK Maxx is good but we havent got one near us which is a real shame.
I love shopping in their home dept.

Habitat also good for lighting, generally.

Sorry I don't think the glass bulb covers go with the wallpaper, it's so simple and they're so well, grannyish . I do think the original capiz shell pendant went with the wallpaper but it does need to be big enough. We also have a big ceiling rose and a chandelier like the Laura Ashley one below (but from Matalan!) and it looks really weedy in comparison.

How about this one ? Good prices on that site.

Ooh yes, those wall lights are fab!

Like others, I don't think the 2 styles go, and not sure about wall ones with the wallpaper. I'd probably only have themwith plain walls going for a full on chi chi effect. Even Matelan had some nice looking light fittings yesterday and B and Q have huge selections.

I like the capiz shades - saw some at £60 in The Pier and I need 3 for the bedroom. Too £££. Off to Laura Ashley this afternoon!

Hmmm, not so keen on that one JN.
Its too late now to change the wall lights cos I've gone and ordered them

At least I've decided to get a glass one though lol.

Swedishmum - Homebase also have some Capiz ones (not completely the same, but definitely cheaper!).

Thanks - our Laura Ashley is in Homebase so I'll check out both!
