How to center DR chandelier over DR table
Comments (2)You might get a swag fixture with plenty of chain, and fix a hook where you want it. That way, when you decide to put the table somewhere else (or the next owner of the house does), the light is easily moved again....See MoreAck. Lights centered over table would be off-center in room...
Comments (5)We have the same problem in our dining room. And the real 'ACK' part is that we gutted our whole kitchen/dining area and removed the old ceiling, so we could have addressed it properly the first time. Once the new dining room table was in, it was obvious we would be moving it off centre (pathway to deck is behind table), and we're kicking ourselves. DH is planning to buy a plaster medallion to put up on the ceiling, so that the edge of it will cover the old hole. Luckily, he is an electrical engineer, so he can do the rewiring. I COULD patch the hole, but what a LITERAL pain in the neck. So not only will the fixture be off-centre, but medallion will be too. I am pretty sure it will cost you more than $35 extra on top of the first $35 to rewire in a new location- assuming there is enough wire up there to allow the move. Ours is accessible from the attic....See MoreOpinion on light Fixture over Dining Room table and Breakfast bar
Comments (22)Hey Beth, do you think something like this would work in the space for pendants or do you think it's too big for the space I had mentioned earlier? https://www.wayfair.com/lighting/pdx/brayden-studio-burner-3-light-kitchen-island-pendant-brys7567.html Edison style lights are pretty yellow, with everything else being around 3000k, do you think a regular white halogen bulb would work instead? Another thought was something like this in that space to bring out some of the black in the granite picture earlier. https://www.wayfair.com/lighting/pdx/brayden-studio-daniell-3-light-kitchen-island-pendant-byst8275.html Do you have any thoughts on one over the other? Also, for the dining room table we were talking last night about maybe a hanging drum like this? https://www.wayfair.com/lighting/pdx/willa-arlo-interiors-gaetan-3-light-led-drum-chandelier-wrlo1657.html...See MoreWhat should I put over the dining room table?
Comments (2)I would change that corner shelf/ light for a arc lamp to light the table. There are lots of different styles but IMO would look and function really well...See MoreRelated Professionals
