Any suggestions on light fixtures to go with these handles?

my suggestion-follow the feel you're after, the dimensions etc of your particular space, the style of the house. handles are really one of the last factors that should influence your decision. unless you're inspired by them, because they convey something special about that feel you're after-and then they become more of a dictating factor. otherwise you don't need to find the lights that will go with handles. you might want to find the lights that convey the similar feeling the handles give you. if you spell what feeling it is-it's easier to narrow down the lights

these are pretty handles, love them being two toned. love their character too. they allow for a great freedom in choosing the lighting. hence my suggestion..because you have a sea of options to choose from

None. Suggest pictures of your space to solicit meaningful feedback.

Your handles look like they have 2 colors, brass and nickle. Pictures needed as Oldbat suggest will be important.

I'm not a lighting expert, but I think you would need a fixture that either has light that goes both up and down....or get the maximum wattage that you can get! Below are some examples. This fixture has 6 bulbs that can be 100 watts each....that's 600 watts total.....a lot of light!!!! And the price is nice! I have bathroom fixtures from this brand (Minka Lavery) and they are very NICE quality!!!! http://www.lampsplus.com/products/hayvenhurst-6-light-34-inch-wide-island-chandelier__2d806.html Here are some fixtures that reflect both up and down. http://www.rejuvenation.com/catalog/products/cascade-up-down-chandelier http://www.lampsplus.com/products/sonnemann-metro-black-33-and-one-half-inch-wide-modern-pendant-light__u9029.html And finally, here is a 6 bulb fixture with 100W bulb each socket, but it was more directional....didn't reflect light off the ceiling..and I think it might create shadows. But here it is anyway: Be sure to click on 6 lights to see that exact fixture: http://www.rejuvenation.com/catalog/products/marquam-hill The photo below is the first one I mentioned.....600W Total Light. Also....what is the size of your room? This post was edited by kompy on Wed, Dec 10, 14 at 8:21

If you don’t think you will use the table much, and you don’t need it upstairs, try selling it. It’s a nice table, but it feels to big and bulky fir your space. A drop leaf table might be a better choice with art above it and art light above it. I like the low linear look of your built in with your leaning art. It looks great and helps keep that visual linear line going on that wall. Try a large piece on that end wall. Something 5’ high by 36” wide roughly. I wouldn’t add more bulky ottoman to sectional area. The smaller ones move around easier and keep a more open look.

Change them all to this:https://www.homedepot.com/pep/WAC-Lighting-Disc-6-in-1-Light-White-LED-Flush-Mount-4-Pack-FM-306-930JB-WT-4/313488381 its a 4 pack for 100$ looks like recessed light. NO MATTER WHAT YOU PUT THERE THE NEW OWNER WILL CHANGE IT. this is the best, cheapest option and recessed doesn't leave the potential buyers with something they have to change right away. Paint the room an off white and be done. "remodeling" is not your job, its the new owners and in today's market you will still get a great price.

I can't show you the space. It hasn't been built yet. I need to choose a light for over the kitchen table and island lights and over the sink. On the whole, my house is pretty traditional with a slight lean toward country.

stu2900 - spend some time searching Houzz photos, using your search terms. Click Photos (top left), then in the search term box, include your criteria: +traditional + country+"Silver and gold lighting", then click Kitchen (on the left).

I found it useful to use online retailers for searching through many brands since there are a lot of choices in different styles and budgets. When I found something I liked I went to the manufacturer's website to look at it in more detail. Make sure you also look at the retailer's return policy. Some will let you return most orders for up to 30 days.
