STAYING ON TASK

Pendants are usually hung from the ceiling, but they can also be used as task lights. Here, the cord of Devol’s Porcelain Beaker pendant, from £140, has been artfully wrapped around a utensil pole to give a rustic edge to the farmhouse scheme, while illuminating the primary cooking space. Plus, its plug-in design means it can be moved to wherever it will be most useful.
