Do these lights look good together?

I've been looking at the Cosette chandelier for over a year and finally decided to bite the bullet and order it. It will go over my dining room table, which is right across from the entryway. I'm thinking about getting the Bronze 4-light Chandelier for the entryway. Do you think the two styles go together?

I'm so glad you guys think it will look good, because I didn't have a 2nd choice. I'm sure that I can easily replace the sleeves.

lascatx - Why would Tribbrix not approve and which fixture is the Hubbardton Forge? The Bronze 4-light? I think black is the only other color it comes in. Are you thinking the finish on the two don't go together?

They are complimentary , but I find the different color of the "candle" bases a little jarring to my eye. Do they come in different color bases? JMO , but they are great choices.

I like them both a lot, but didn't think they worked together quite right. The more I looked I think it's the candle color that was bothering me. You could probably change the sleeves out to on the lantern.

I agree with your friend. The table does have quite a bit of peach in it. IMO if you are going to put two types of granite together, one should be significantly less busy than the other. These two have similar patterns. But that's just how it seems to my eyes.

I think the colors match ok, but with them both being largish prints I think they would be too busy/jumbled looking together. I'd have to see the finished product though to render a complete opinion. And of course, by then, you would have already made it...

Will all this look good together?

Sorry, I thought the questions in my actual post were fairly clear. - Is the ORB faucet going to look funny with the SS sink? - Will the SS appliances blend ok with the hardware, faucet, light fixtures, etc? Again, I appreciate your comments, but these are the things I was wondering about, not the ENTIRE kitchen...if I was questioning the entire kitchen, I doubt I would have selected it all to begin with! lol I think what I'm finding is that it is all personal preference, as I could NEVER EVER have a white kitchen again in my life (seriously feels dated to me and entirely impossible to keep clean with small children) and I detest light wood cabinets (oak, maple, etc) and I really don't like dark counters with light wood or light wood with dark counters...much to much contrast for me and feels very '90's to me. So, it's probably better if I don't ask "opinion" type questions again:)

oh ok Jackie...thanks for that...I didn't realise it was Jackmanii... ..regarding putting two colours together...I always think I can get away with it if I introduce a third which complements both, and that third is usually something white... although I wouldn't deliberately put pink next to orange, but unfortunately it sometimes happens and I have one of those '''oh what have I done'' moments... I expect we've all been there.... ..just noticed Jackie has done something like this with Buff Beauty and Summer Wine, which some might think clash, but has introduced a purple Clematis to tone it all down... beautifully...

I really love the chandelier! It's gorgeous. I think they are fine, in adjacent rooms.

I think they would look good with matching sleeves and bulbs.

I too agree with will work well together. It would be nice if you could replace the sleeves on the entry light to match those on the dining room fixture. It should be easy to find replacements.

I think they work together. I had to look a second time, so perhaps the location in your home will sway one way or the other, but it would be a nice tough to change one set of sleeves so they are both ivory or white.

I feel compelled to let you know that tibbrix will not approve of the bronze 4-light. And that Hubbardton Forge fixture is probably available in a complimentary finish. ;-)

They look great even if the sleeves are not perfect matches. If you can replace sleeves on one - great. If not I doubt most people would notice. Nicely done!

I think they definitely compliment each other.

I think they looked just perfect, without matching sleeves

The foxes pad is more than likely correct. If they weren't right in our face, like they are on screen, most would not notice the sleeves are not the same.
If you don't want to replace the sleeves, you could mask them off and spray paint them to match if it does bother you.

msrose - it's because Tribbix loves that HF light. Loves it. Doesn't like birdcage lights. Read through my old post. It will all be clear. My choices were similar to yours.

akl_vdb - Thanks for the explanation. It looks like we do have similar taste. I also considered the rope one from Ballards. Can't wait to see your new light installed!
