Its for the kitchen diner which we are having done shortly. We are having a breakfast bar and I would like 3 pendant lights above it. The kitchen is oak units, black quartz worktops and karndean floor- either slate tile effect or dark wood effect.

I was thinking of these lights for above the breakfast bar:

these

What do you think? Any suggestiosn for alternatives? Max budget of £100 for all 3 lights.

or these?

Possibly 3 of those would be rather too striking.

First 2 are not great

the last link - mini moma - are prettier and could look really nice.

We're having pendant lights too over our island - so much choice though!

Personally I wouldn't go for the wire type ones in a kitchen area as they will be difficult to clean.

I like TOs suggestion, but maye they are a bit pricey?

i really like the 50s/industrial ones, i think 3 in a row of them would look really good.

I like the Ikea ones, just what I had in mind when I read the description of your kitchen.
