I don't know how many of you caught up with my series on How to Get the Lighting Right but for those of you who are new to the blog, I wrote a series of posts in collaboration with John Cullen going round my house room by room to see what I had got right (not so much) and where things could be improved (more).
One of the key suggestions that their creative director Sally Storey made was to try and move away from simply having downlights or spotlights in the kitchen. Now we already had one table lamp in there and since she visited we have added another one which does. I have to admit make a real difference.
Sally had another proposal and that was that we add a wall light at the end of the open shelves either instead of, or as well as, the clock that is currently there. This, together with the table lights, would make a soft, warm atmosphere when guests were round and mean we could turn off the overhead lights.
Since then I have been idly looking for a cool wall light to put there and I rather like this one. It's by Tine K and I like the way you can swivel it flat against the wall when it's not in use. Like all of you, we need and use all the space in our kitchen and I'm not keen on having something that sticks out from the wall, making it difficult to reach the shelves, when not in use.

This can swing out (sister) when we want it to and sit flat back against the wall for the rest of the time. Perfect. You should also know that this light comes in brass too…
