Scrolled Pendant in Old Gold

As a nation, we are real foodies and one of our biggest and most enjoyable times to socialise is over a delicious meal or a crisp glass of wine. With so much great local produce now available, many of us are taking to entertaining others in the comfort of our own home.

So why should we compromise on style and taste just because we are at home? The answer is you shouldn’t! An elegant, thoughtfully lit dining space at home is always a stunning addition to any home.

Stylish Dining

Having a separate dining space is fantastic when you have a number of guests to entertain. Our stylish dining range showcases some of our beautiful chandeliers that both create a soft even light over the dining space, and at the same time draw the eye to the table as the focal point in the room. Can there be anything more welcoming for your guests than a beautiful table, set for supper, twinkling under an exquisite chandelier?

Team our chandeliers up with any of our fabric candle shades to fill the table beneath with a beautifully soft atmospheric light.

We understand that dining in is no longer just confined to the dining room which is why we not only have our beautiful dining room pendant lighting but we now also have an extensive range of dining lighting for your kitchen too, including our gorgeous Island Living range.

Island Living

Kitchen islands are a trend that is continually on the rise and rightfully so, who doesn’t love a stunning island?

From classic metal shades to bright reflective glass, choosing the perfect pendant from our kitchen lighting range couldn’t be easier. Whether you are after a more industrial retro feel with our Wharf Pendant in Clay or a traditional country kitchen feel with our Foster Pendant in Antiqued Brass there is something to suit any style.

The latest addition to the Jim Lawrence range is our beautiful domed glass pendants, they are available in 3 sizes and designed to sit perfectly above kitchen tables and islands.

Lansdown Pendant in Antiqued Brass

Jim really wanted to produce a beautiful and practical light that allows people to create a stunning focal point without losing the sense of space. These look amazing in a row of 3 and combined with our vintage style LED bulbs they create a fantastic traditional feel. If you are looking for a truly bold look then why not try the Lansdown Pendant, the largest of the three.

When many of us think about coloured glass, our minds are taken back to the setting where we were first introduced to the idea; beautiful stained glass in churches. In the 50’s and 60’s the idea of using this coloured glass in the home for decorative items became a huge hit – well it seems that it is back again and not just with decorative items!

This versatile and beautiful trend is all about showcasing your personality and having fun within your home.

So, our design team sat down and had a brainstorm on how we could take this amazing trend and put our signature Jim Lawrence style stamp on it. Well, what better way to showcase the potential beauty of coloured glass than combining it with two of our popular pendants; the Fulbourn and Holborn Glass Pendant.

We decided to go for soft and subtle colours to stay in keeping with the natural feel and look of our lights. We now offer 3 coloured glass shades with our Fulbourn Pendants; Smoky Blue, Charcoal and Dusky Pink.

The fantastic thing about using coloured glass is the ability to achieve various looks without having to change your whole decor.

Each of the 3 colours we offer could be seen in a variety of settings. Dusky Pink would be the perfect addition to a little girls bedroom, vice versa for the Smoky Blue in the little boys room. Or perhaps you are wishing to achieve a slightly more sophisticated look in your study with the Charcoal shade.

Team any of these lights with our amazing LED bulb range to see it in its true colours!

Have you purchased any of our coloured glass pendants? If so then we would love to see them in their new home. Please send us a picture to press@jim-lawrence.co.uk.

When our amazing design team produce the original drawings for a new product, it is rather exciting! We always adore them but we may be a little biased! So, we have no idea how they will be received, we just hope our customers love them as much we do.

Well our Bulkhead Outdoor Light has certainly not disappointed, it has been loved by everyone more than we could even imagine. We are thrilled to announce that is has already been shortlisted for the RHS Chelsea Flower Show Garden Product of The Year! We have had such an amazing time at Chelsea the past 3 years and it is a true honour to even be shortlisted for this award.

So what is this light all about? Well, Jim wanted to have something that could be both stylish and practical whilst concealing those rather unsightly exterior wires. This light offers just that when combined with our solid brass conduit kit – it is a rather smart design!

In true Jim Lawrence style, each solid brass light is hand finished with a light antiquing to give it that beautiful aging look that we love so much. This also means that there is no need to worry about this light not being able to handle our wonderful British weather, it is non-corrosive and will bring you many years of beauty.

There really are no limits to this beautiful light, so why restrict it to just the garden? It is awarded an IP55 rating so it is also suitable for anywhere in your bathroom too! It would look truly magnificent in a nautical feel bathroom, so don’t be afraid to take it out of its comfort zone.

It is also compatible with any of our beautiful LED bulbs which can last up to 7 years – bonus!

What do you think of our Bulkhead Light? We would love to hear your thoughts, please feel free to email them to press@jim-lawrence.co.uk. Keep your eyes peeled for even more beautiful new products this spring.

When it comes to choosing the perfect lighting for our homes, many people have previously put practicality as the number one priority and the look and beauty would more often than not fall to second place.

We have seen the trends change dramatically over the years and it seems that many of us are now searching for something both equally beautiful and practical and we do not seem to be stopping at just the one essential light – hence the birth of our beautiful multi pendant lighting.

So many of our customers would love our products in a row of two or three above their kitchen islands however it would be a little tricky with all that extra wiring! So we have made life much simpler with our Track Multi Pendants.

Holborn Triple Track

These provide a fantastic option for extra lighting whilst discretley using just one electrical ceiling entry point. This not only looks fantastic but you may have a much happier electrician!

We heard such great feedback on these pendants that it led us to start thinking where we could take the multi pendant light next? We thought about those large stairwells, hallways and landings that were crying out for some beautiful lighting and it was then that we decided to launch the Ceiling Pendant Rose.

Holborn Multi Pendant Ceiling Rose

These are an elegant alternative to the straight track and they provide the option to adjust the heights of all three pendants. They are perfect for flooding those large spaces with light whilst making a bold statement.

After popular demand, our most recent launch is the Ava Ceiling Rose Pendant. The Ava Pendant (who has two sisters; Orla & Mia) has been our most loved pendant to date and we just could not resist turning it into a multi pendant – what do you think?

Do you have any of our multi pendants in your home? We really would love to see them! Feel free to send any images to press@jim-lawrence.co.uk

A little extra cable goes a long way.

It is my favourite time of the month – product spot time! At the end of every month I have the luxury of getting to sit and enjoy all of the stunning homes and interiors magazines and spot our beautiful products, its a tough job! This month there was a fabulous find in Grand Designs Magazine, we just had to share it with you.

Norfolk architect, Hudson Architects, have produced something rather beautiful with this house project. It got us thinking about how changing the length of the cable and chain on your pendants can create some fantastic styles.

Our Pantry Lights in Shaker Green look absolutely stunning here with the added 1.5 metres of cable. It gives a fantastic retro feel which is the perfect look in this open space. Some people shy away from placing pendants on slanted ceilings but we think it is such a simple way to create a unique look.  Team it up with a little extra cable and you have created something rather beautiful.

Most of our pendants are supplied with 50cm of cable/chain as standard but if you fancied a little extra then that is no trouble at all, just let us know at the time of ordering and our workshop team will simply add it on whilst they make your light – simple!

You may be able to spot the different finishes of our Pantry Light in the far end of this beautiful image and that is because it is available in six fabulous finishes. Having three different ones so close together is something we do not get to see very often and it looks simply wonderful.

We adore Hudson Architects take on our classic pendant lights and would love to see more of what can be done. So why don’t you try creating a new look by adding some extra height to your light?

Please do send us any images of our lights in their new home, we always love to see them, to press@jim-lawrence.co.uk

A Boutique Hotel With a Touch of Jim Lawrence.

Since falling in love with The Hadleigh Ram, we often recommend it as the perfect place to lunch to customers who visit our showroom. The family behind this fabulous renovation also own The Swan in Long Melford, so when we were given the chance to have a snoop around there it was an offer we couldn’t refuse!

The Swan offers seperate accommodation, Melford House, which comprises of a beautiful boutique hotel that offers four very unique and fabulous rooms and of course we couldn’t help but notice the Jim Lawrence fittings throughout.

Bromley Handle with Ripley Keyhole Backplate in Antiqued Brass

It is no surprise that copper is a hugely growing trend with its rich warm tones and classic rustic look, it is perfect this autumn. We are celebrating this with the launch of our stunning new Heritage Copper range. Each solid copper item is hand finished by our craftsmen with antiquing solution to create a soft tarnished finish.

The ‘Copper Kitchen’ showcases the range with our large curved Leiston Pendant accompanied by soft task lighting with two Single Curtis Spot Lights.

We absolutely love seeing our lights in their new homes, therefore we especially loved when lots of our products were spotted in this beautiful contemporary bar in Clapham. The Bank is set in a stunning Grade II listed building and one of our lovely customers got in touch to let us know that they have many of our lights on display. We found some fantastic images online and we just had to share them with you…

We love to hear what our customers think of our products and service and on Wednesday afternoon we were given a real treat from a rather lovely couple who took the time to email Jim this fantastic letter.

“Dear Jim

We were having lunch at a local pub here in Sussex a few weeks ago when Jill commented on a beautiful light on the wall in the style of a sheaf of corn. She suggested it would look great in our dining room (which we are about to redecorate) and so, upon returning home, she searched on Google for “cornsheaf gold wall light”, found your website and then quickly found the “Sussex” lights. We want the pendant plus 3 wall lights but were concerned about ordering them on-line without seeing the pendant (particularly because the cost was way above our original budget). So, we decided to drive up to Hadleigh to see for ourselves…“
