(However, if you have a ceiling rose and feel that it would look odd without a pendant, go for a feature light that is more about form than function \u2013 try the Original 1227\u2122 Giant Pendant in a large space, or an Original 1227\u2122 Mini Ceramic Cluster which creates a warm glow.<\/p>\n\n            <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The living room is a place of relaxation, a room where we sit back to read, to socialise and to watch television.
