Great pendant light - need your help

10 replies

betterwhenthesunshines · 05/01/2013 19:47

We have a new staircase - it has 2 corner turns and a sloping ceiling. I need to find a ceiling pendant that doesn't have a fixed angle fixing as the ceiling is on a slope. It also has to look good from above as well as below as it will be visible close up from the landing.

I've seen an Italian mirano glass globe that looks great but is £2k (!).

Was also thinking maybe a random string of LEDS fixed to branches secured across the ceiling (country house) but don't know if this would be 'fun' with birds and stuff or just twiggy shit.

Please help - have made so many decisions and in danger of selling out to the nearest dull pendant light where I think this should be an opportunity to do something different (have no other interesting pendant lights in the house).

Actually maybe something like this could work - what do you think?

love these you can get ceiling fittings that are flush to the slope and then straighten out as they fall. A selection of muted glass balls would look amazing

Agree - but there is only one wire so I need to find a 'group' that come from one central fitting IYSWIM.

Oooh thank you - like both those BHS ones, although neither shows the ceiling fixing itself - will have to go along to big BHS and take a look.
