Lighting for a lounge/sitting room - pendant ceiling light or wall lights?

[NormaJeanAteMyHamster]

I was hoping to find a 'tasteful' chandelier type thingy but I can't - well not that isn't £££! I was wondering about wall lights but they seem quite old fashioned. What do you lot have in your lounge/sitting room?

Lamps for lighting. Do also have a Big Light but never actually use it unless have to

We have wall lights but are gradually ripping them out every time we rearrange the furniture. They're a PITA. I'd never, ever have them again.

I think a big light and then lamps. I love chandeliers!

Thanks for the posts, no wall lights here then! We tend to use lamps too but in new house haven't got enough plug points (which will be remedied soon). I do love the idea of a chandelier, I have seen one I love in John Lewis but it's a bit £££ I'll keep looking

Have you looked at Laura Ashley for chandeliers? They often have a good range and frequent discounts.

Also have seen one advertised by Next which is quite funky, its called Isla and on this page

Heals also good for lighting, if bit ££

Main light and lamps no wall lights they are so naff and spoil a room.BHS is great for well priced lighting and habitat has occasional gems otherwise as someone else said Heals is amazing if you have the £

Another vote for BHS lighting

I have this light in my lounge and dinning room and it looks lurvely. If you can wait for the sale (let's face it, LA have them every couple of months) you should be able to get it for under £100.

I looked pretty much everywhere for lighting recently and this was the only one that took my fancy.

If you do decide you want wall lights that aren't old fashioned, and have plenty of dosh to spend on them, Selfridges is the place to go. Heals also has a pretty good selection, which are quite a lot cheaper, but still pricy.

We only have wall lights in our house so have become experts in wall lighting!

LOL Miss Sixx - I know what you mean!
Unfortunately my budget isn't £££ , more like fair to middling.

Sorry, Mrs Sixx!
