Nine--I'm right there with you! These lights have caused me no end of stress, waaaaaayyy more than any other decision. I had almost settled on the Jefferson (is that yours?) when I realized my 8-ft. ceilings will need a flush-mount fixture. I have a 15 and 1/2 by 17 and 1/2 space now--it seems rather huge since the new wall is in but the room is still empty. I was just talking to the electrician and he suggests that apart from one fixture over the table on one side of the space and two pendants over the sink, five more fixtures should be plenty of light. Seems like a lot to me but he's quite experienced and had been good about my "no recessed lights" rule. He did say I should have three bulbs in each one (except for the sink lights,) so that they are bright enough; if they are too bright, I can always put lower wattage bulbs in them. I spoke with a couple of nice women at Rejuvenation (haven't tried Schoolhouse yet,) and one of them suggested 14 or 16-inch shades which can accommodate three bulbs each. Have you spoken to your electrician? He/she should know how far light will throw. Let me know how you're doing so I can calm down too!! Sweet Angie has been very kind to help me with this as well as my cabinet angst in the beginning--maybe she'll chime in.

Hi and Thx! The large fixture is going in the entry. The stick lights are no longer there. I want smaller light that complement the larger entry fixture for the hallway cans.

Hello! It's definitely possible to not do a matching fixture and get the look you want. I like what a few of these projects did below by keeping the same metal material- so in your case the iron, and keeping that as the constant. I would not mix glass. I would try to do an open fixture or a solid black one as you will see below. I hope this helps envision your space a bit more. Good luck! https://www.houzz.com/photos/farmhouse-transitional-kitchen-farmhouse-kitchen-minneapolis-phvw-vp~132517365 https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/2016-home-a-rama-chatham-hills-pj-vj~1887414 https://www.houzz.com/photos/2017-coty-award-winners-transitional-kitchen-minneapolis-phvw-vp~139049291 https://www.houzz.com/photos/modern-farmhouse-with-a-storied-past-farmhouse-kitchen-new-york-phvw-vp~133540991

This isn’t a great photo but we will have a double door entry. My husband went overboard with canless lighting but I can’t do anything about that at this point. There are 6 lights in the center of the room (1 is closer to the great room so doesn’t really fit into the group) - the flush mount lights will either be in the center 3, with the largest centered OR it will be smaller flush-canless-large flush-canless- smaller flush. I don’t know if that makes sense to you but that’s what I’m working with. I wanted a flush mount centered in the doorway but was told that wouldn’t look right - what do I know? 🤷🏻‍♀️
