We are renovating our house - the kitchen is 21.75' x 15.5'. Island is 47.5" x 104.5". We are wanting to put 2 chandeliers over the island. Chandeliers are 26.5" W x 24.5" H. The staircase is off center to the middle of the island so using only one chandelier would enhance that it is off center. (The smaller version of the light is 21" W x 22.5" H, however it is not as pretty and does not have that same WOW factor). Just wondered if anyone else has 2 big chandeliers over their island so I can see what the effect looks like!

A formal dining room is going to need a chandelier that hangs fairly low over the table. It’s also an item that is pretty style/taste specific. I’d just put up an attractive flush mount ceiling fixture now and let a future buyer pick a chandelier if they want to use the room that way.

That reminds me of the Farlane Chandelier from McGee & Co. A blogger who is putting this in her new build is Z Design At Home.

IMO just like too much cleavage can look tacky so can too much bling and in this case theDR and LR fixtures do not belong in the same house. The DR one IMO is a heavy looking fixture and needs a heavy looking very formal table . I never like center lighting in a LR and especailly a chandelier . IMO a open space requires so connection between the lighting so I would look at coordinating pieces in a small space let the DR fixture be the star and the rest the supporting cast.
