Help choosing chandelier for dining room
What type of chandelier do you see going above the round dining room table? I’m overwhelmed with all the choices and need help getting unstuck.
What type of chandelier would look best?
A few things I still Need to buy and welcome any suggestions are: new coffee table, buffet lamps, dining room chairs, wall decor above sofa, possible end tables and accent chair and choosing accent colors for pillows.
Back to the Chandelier it can be silver, gold or bronze. I’m able to get a great family discount if I buy from L&N Lighting. But, I’m here looking to get a general idea of what‘s going to look best above the dining room table. Once I get a new chandelier I’m hoping that’ll help getting unstuck with all the other things I want. And... I can get new curtain rods, curtains, rug and fan if I have to. You guys give great advice and I could really use some help.
Ideas anyone?

Help me choose a chandy for my "pedestal" dining room.
Comments (28)Oh, nosoccermom! You posted the kind of thing I was thinking of when I first saw her photo. I didn't look further on Overstock (I'm already killing time I should be spending on something else), but the wavy would be great -- a little softer. It's a marriage of the large rectangles behind and the curves of the furniture. It is unexpected, but still adds formality. I like either of the rectangles. They are simple, yet dramatic and unique enough for your pedestal DR. OK, Lauren -- you can't say we aren't giving you ideas! LOL ETA: I showed the disc chandelier that is in my bedroom on your other thread. Just to balance your neighbor's view -- that one is in a traditional home with traditional dark furniture and I love it.

Comments (3)I want to tell you 1 key tip for lighting, don't put the cart before the horse. You MUST put your furniture in the space, right now you can't "see" the space, and that is what is making it so hard. once things are in the space, and the rooms shrink, you will have a much better idea of not only what will look pretty but will actually function for you. also, things like the size of the table are very important when scaling. Lastly matching or not, doesn't matter, farmhouse is not about matchy matchy, its eclectic. if you stay within that wheelhouse they will coordinate by default....See MoreNeed Help Choosing Dining Room Chandelier
Comments (37)I am going to paint the walls in both rooms Wind’s Breath colour. You’re correct, I bought the painting and rugs at Homesense to match, thinking they were more contemporary. I am an amateur trying to learn. This is why I appreciate everyone’s suggestions so much! I tried to find slip covers for my sofa and loveseat but failed. They were all stretchy spandex-polyester and looked cheap. Any suggestions on where I can buy slipcovers that look like upholstered furniture in Canada? I was originally looking for off-white slip covers, although I wonder if this will look washed out with Wind’s Breath colour on the walls. Any suggestions on coffee tables?...See MoreNeed help choosing a dining room rug
Comments (5)I know you want a rug (and you can find washable, affordable ones from Nuloom), but, IMO, the space is too small to add a correctly size rug. You need a rug about 3' wider, all around, to allow chairs to sit on the rug and also to stay on the rug when pulled back. Even if you removed the hutch, the rug would be coming into the next room (hall?). Can the hutch go to another wall which is close by? If so, I would move it, take down the two art prints, wallpaper above the chair rail and purchase another chandelier 1/2 the size of the table, hung about 33" off table top. If you add wallpaper, it will give pattern to the space that can't have a rug....See More

5 years agolast modified: 5 years agoIf you make the chandelier silver, you won't be able to see it. Every room needs a bit of black so select a black/bronze chandelier & eliminate those two buffet lamps because they just don't work for the room.
I suggest you purchase some type of wall mounted swing arm lamp for general lighting.
Not crazy about the yellow tones in the rug.

5 years agoGroveraxel- thank you for your help. I have a picture of a coffee table I like and possibly the rug too. Can you take coffee table from this pic and try it out with my house?
