Help to coordinate kitchen pendant lights with morning room chandelier

6 years ago

last modified: 6 years ago

Hello everyone! Please help with ideas on how to pick out lights that would not necessarily match but be cohesive in this joined space. My house is being built so I have to select everything and I am afraid of making a mistake due to costs.

Any help would be appreciated. My style is more transitional to traditional.

I have included pictures of the model house as well as the picture of the pendant light I would like in the kitchen. The model house's decor is a little too traditional for me.

The floors will be dark wood (not tile) and the cabinets will be white. Countertop will be taupe/ white granite. I have included examples of kitchens I like as well.

Will have a rectangular dinning table of similar size in the morning room.

Thanks so much in advance!

Light I have selected but open to change for a similar look (I really like clear glass pendants)

If the first picture is of the pendant you like, I would say it's on the boring side. I think you could find something better and are missing an opportunity to make the kitchen really look special. If you are going to do something that plain, then you really need to step it up for the dining room chandelier and get something that is much more visually interesting. My advice would be to start with picking a metal(s) so that you understand what you're trying to coordinate, and then go from there.

Autumn, I think the suggestion that you look at searches of your lighting perameters on several different sites and pick out what you like, what you instinctively react to, it'll help you make your decisions. If you open a Pinterest account you can set up a board for lighting, then add the PinIt icon to your tool bar. Then start searching the lighting stores online, and everytime you see something you find interesting Pin It. Even if it's way out there, so long as it fits into your budget and size perameters, Pin It. Then go to your pin board and you'll have all the choices you like in one place. At that point you can start by eliminating the ones that don't appeal upon second glance. The nice thing about the Pinterest is that if you click once you stay in Pinterest, if you click twice it takes you to the original website so you don't need to worry about trying to remember where you found something. It's easy to go through literally thousands of lighting choices in a couple of hours that way. Ask me how I know, :-) Then once you narrow it down to a few, if you're not feeling confident you can come here and ask opinions. I did that too, and ended up changing out my entry light, my powder room light and my kitchen pendants. But I'm really happy with the end result. Here is a link that might be useful: pinterest

Funny you ask - in one house I used a soft maize yellow with butterscotch flooring!! most wouldn't I suppose, but it was a rural house with basic textures homemade and otherwise, so I liked it. I happen to like 'cheerful' more than elegant or traditional.... what about you? read some articles. lots about paint too.

I wasn't clear whether that fixture you like is for the morning room or a pendant for the kitchen. If you are calling this area a morning room, I am guessing you have a more formal dining area so this one would lean more casual?

@ lascatx, Yes, there will be a more formal dining room so I was looking to have the morning room be more casual. The pendant was for the kitchen. Looking for a light for the morning room

@cpaul, yes I am looking for something that is understated and classic. I prefer that other elements of the kitchen stand out thus the simple clear pendants. Thanks for your input.
