Interesting to read this topic as we have 3 floor sockets in our plan. Still trying to find some that aren’t fugly! Has anyone found any that look decent?

Would be very interested to see the Tom Dixon one you liked and the one you bought from Ali Express. My husband is concerned about stuff coming from China quoting if it seems too good to be true, it probably is!

Like the hanging lights you have

Don't even get me started on the dusting!! ? I’m having nightmares about it!! Not sure LED strips would be sufficient in the kitchen area, but then I’ve not seen them. Will talk to our electrician. Thanks!

For those with sloping ceilings what did you do for lighting? We’d need to batten deeper to put angled spots in which we really don’t want to do. Tracks? Pendants? Something else?? Can’t upload photos for some reason. Will try in a separate comment

Ah, see now I love the size of those sinks but not the scratches ?

Thanks everyone for your really helpful input. Given us a lot to think about and I’m no longer dead-set against SS which I was before.

Has anyone got a steam oven that's not a combo, just dedicated to steam? If so, which make? What do you like/dislike about it? Would you buy again? While I'm at it which make of single oven do you have? We are overwhelmed with the choices! Neff, AEG, Siemans, Miele ... and probably 100 more, but those are the ones we've been looking at. Can anyone help?!?!

Not heard of Schock. Will look them up, thanks. Are you happy with them? What width is the smaller sink? 200/250?

Wow Conor. That’s quite something!

That’s interesting! Thanks Peter. Will remember that tip ?

That’s great. Thank you! We've seen a Blanco SS sink we like but I was worried about scratches. Was thinking of composite but will consider SS now you’ve reassured me.

Thanks Dave. We’ve been to Howdens but have chosen another kitchen manufacturer in the end. Does your sink scratch? That’s my only concern with stainless

Struggling to find a sink we like. We’re finding showrooms really don’t have a great choice and they rely seem to rely on brochures. Please show me your kitchen sink and tell me why you chose that particular one, and are you happy with it? Preferably under-mount. Thanks very much!

We’re South Lincolnshire

? Are you joking??! Its got 150mm of insulation going on top plus UFH and screed.

That’s nice! Where was that from?

Thanks! Will look them up.

Looking forward to you finding what I’m looking for at reasonable prices! ?

Looks great! Where did you get them from? May I ask what kind of cost they are to give us an idea.

Gotcha. Have you bought from them before?

Thanks Peter It appears to be an American site though?

Has anyone seen anything like this on their search for lighting with an impact? There don’t seem to be any lighting companies near us, and those we’ve seen don’t have a big selection. We have a big space to fill inside our front door and thought something like this would be stunning. Probably too spendy stunning, but we won’t know until we see something and get an idea of cost! Picture of said chandelier and the space it’ll go in below. Thanks in advance

Thanks everyone ?
