Budget $500, $1000, $5000, other? Do you want drop dead gorgeous or easy going, blend in?

@Iheartsix - any chance you'd share your source for your fantastic fixture?

What kind of finish are you looking for? Polished/Brushed nickel? Brass?

@Jubel Designs - I started thinking totally black finish. Then I opened my mind up a little realizing I didn't HAVE to have black just because my door hardware is flat black. And my table will go with anything. So I'm open. I prefer black, burnished silver or antique gold if it's like the last photo above. I think if you look at what I'm considering above you'll agree that I'm trying to play it safe. I'd would like to be adventurous without picking something that won't stand the test of time. I'm sure that's a given with just about everyone!!

This one is similar to the one you like above, but the site doesn't show pricing...which is a bit frightening.

Regina, looks like iheartsix's fixture came from Restoration Hardware.

Don't know what your budget is, but I am in love with this company's light fixtures. You can also custom design your own too. Sadly, they are out of my reach.

Regina-

I think you can't design a cohesive well -put together room piece by piece.

You need to have an overall design in mind.

Please start by collecting pictures of dining rooms that convey the feeling that you want your dining room to have, to help you define your style, then hone in on the specific pieces.

Post the winners here so we now what your tastes are, and also put up your dining table.

That is the only way we can suggest a chandelier for you.

Why not one like in your inspiration picture? Its very glam. Is your ceiling light off center, or are your outside doors slightly off center. I noticed the fixture doesnt line up with the center of the doors, and for some reason, that bothers me. Your inspiration picture is beautiful. Have fun with it.

Loobab - agreed will do

Gorgeous reno so far...that marble is amazing!! That fixture Grover posted would definitely check all your boxes for glam, fun and not pretentious!!

@cat_ky - when you say inspiration picture are you referring to the picture at the very top of this post from ATL homes? I simply posted that because it shows my table. Also, YES YES my picture of my dining is a little off center based on where I stood. Thanks for asking, sorry for the confusion.

Check out some of these fabulous lights from Currey and Co. They're a fav of ours. Currey Chandeliers

Hi All, okay taking the advice and giving you a photo that I really like. Again, my room is so not this, but my table is exactly like the table in the photo from Atlanta homes above. My chairs look like the ones in this picture below so all I'd have to do is have them sprayed white. Recover the seats and then decide on the chandelier.

But I also like this variation for my dining room

but of course I do not have this type of table. I don't have beadboard walls....so honestly it's the white chair and the light that I could copy...

also I like this look

@groveraxle - at first I thought oh no way, that's way too comtemporary for me. And it's rose gold instead of black or true gold. But I keep going back to it, and its growing on me so thanks!!!

Please don't spray paint nice mahogany dining room chairs. If you want something contemporary, sell them on Craig's List and buy new ones.

"Glam" is by it's very definition a bit pretentious. Certainly one in your OP would be unless your house was quite grand (as the house it is in, clearly is). And remember - someone has to clean it and keep it sparkling. And that's a huge pain to do oneself and a chore one can rarely just delegate to ones cleaning help.

I am not a fan of these fixtures that appear to begin life pretty fancy and then someone came along and attempted to dumb it down with a contemporary over lay. I know its all the rage--but it is just that a passing fad. Choose one look. Either traditional like all the sparkle is or more contemporary like the "atom" look the outside hoops are giving you.

Here is a good start

Yes, thats the chandelier I was mentioning. I actually have one over my dining room table and I love it. It seems to go with the look you are trying to achieve in that room. Since you mentioned glam, in my opinion anyway, there is nothing more glamorous, than crystal chandeliers above a dining room table. I even have one in one of my bathrooms.

Seconding NOT spray painting those chairs. I glanced at the pic with the white chairs before reading the post and my first thought was, "nice dining room setup, but what kind of monster would paint such nice chairs??"

If you want more contemporar/white chairs, sell the wood ones and get different ones. They don't even look good in white anyway.

However, if you want a glam dining room, I would recommend having elegant traditional elements in it, like wood furniture and a more ornate/not modern chandelier. The antique furniture + bold modern art is a sophisticated look I really love. I'm a traditionalist when it comes to decor and interior design, so maybe I'm biased, but I feel like a lot of the contemperary design moves in dining rooms de-formalize the space and make it feel more homey and less "glam". Not a bad thing for many people, but probably not what you want if you want glam.

As for chandelier styles, I like the ones with more brass than crystal, personally, as well as shades around the bulbs. I think a good move would be to go to a lighting showroom and look at the options in person.
