I'm having some chandeliers in my living room and dining rooms that are squarish in design. I was thinking of having square downlights located in installed also. Should the rest of the house have square d/lights, or would it be ok to have round ones to match the round chandeliers in the hall/landing etc? Does anyone else mix and match?

Designers would use a phase such as "room flow".
Essentially where the ceilings are open between rooms (such as front / back recpt knocked in to a through lounge) then the ascetics demand the same image, thus the same fittings.
Separate rooms will cope with separate fittings, but I wouldn't start looking at very different for each and every room.
It would be prudent to stick with say 2 models for the whole house, and even then make sure they are similar in finish. So silver / bright square one area or more, rest same finish round.

It won't be breaking any laws.
This is a question of style and personal taste - somewhat outside the scope of DIT Electrics" IMO.
