Eclectic Stoke Newington Apartment
Three colourful custom-made colander lights add a splash of colour to this open-plan kitchen in a converted Victorian school house. The kitchen island is custom-made out of a vintage oak chest.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
Have fun with lightingInstalling new lights in your kitchen can cost a fair bit. Instead, personalise the pendants you already have. Fit fabulous lampshades or make your own from vintage buckets or colourful colanders. Then supplement with fairy lights and even small lamps that you can sit on a countertop.
INDOORS1. Perfect your space with pendantsIf you are not especially ostentatious and your style and mood is more funky and chic, choose a light fitting that suits the style of your space. This converted school house picked up the relaxed atmosphere of this cool kitchen with three simple, coloured pendants. They work well because the colours match those found elsewhere in the space. The ambience created is one of fun, albeit slightly industrial – but most of all it’s a very modern look.More kitchen pendant lighting ideas
What Houzzers are commenting on:
we like the mix of colors (maybe not THESE colors, but having a mix), and i like the playfulness of the resemblance to upside-down kitchen bowls or colanders.
