Throwing myself on your mercy here - somehow my knowledge of lighting has never really progressed beyond an energy-saving lightbulb hanging from a cord in the middle of the room. So I urgently need your advice and suggestions.
I need to light a smallish dining room. It's on the ground floor of an extended 2-up 2-down. Although it's south-facing and has a French door, it's not the brightest as a lot of the light is shut out by the extension. You have to walk through this room to get to the kitchen, which is very light and bright.
Is there such a thing as an overhead light that would give a bright but warm light? There are two LED spots in an alcove, which work really well. But ideally, I'd like something in the centre of the room, which could just be flicked on via a wall switch.
Decor-wise, I suppose I'd describe the room as 'modern' - white walls, stripped floors, quite a bit of natural wood in the form of furniture (1940s/1950s), shelving, doors. I'd definitely be open to some sort of Scandivanian-style feature light, but the most important thing is the light!
Thank you!
