Comments (35)OK - I thought a little sketch would help. you need about a 12" drop of chain from the top of the ceiling, then a max size fixture of 30" long (top of ring to the chandelier to the bottom crystal or bottom.), then 33" above the table to the bottom of the chandelier. So, max 30" high, 28" max round, and for some chandeliers depending on the design, might be able to go to 30 wide. Chain drop is easiest to deal with from an installation point of view. Hope that explains the sizing....See MorePowder Room....bare wall....help!
Comments (9)We had a similar issue recently! We decided on floating shelves and decorated with some cute items, and a place to keep extra hand towels and toilet paper. Depending on your style, another fun idea might be to use some of the peel and stick wood wall products that have recently come out. You could have a fun accent wall for a much less cheaper cost than tile! You could also do a fun pop of wallpaper! Good luck!...See MoreFeature wall art lighting
Comments (23)No on the photoshopped one. I would put nothing there if you have recessed lights. Instead, change out the flush light in the hallway and any others in that space to something in a dark, complementary tone. A narrow console with a night lamp will fill in the space under the window. If you need a hanging light, go dark to not detract from the art....See Moreadd photos or art?
Comments (14)I think your snake plants are perfect and that bringing in a leafy tree fights the painting. Again, I'd do another tripod lamp but it could also be fun to do a gallery wall of modern prints very much in the same vein -- a Diebenkorn, a Mondrian, a Vasserly op-art, even an Escher. Just put them up and down and around the wall, collage-fashion Diebenkorn's Untitled 1980 might be fab instead of a tripod lamp https://www.allposters.com/-sp/Untitled-1980-Posters_i14762136_.htm?srsltid=AfmBOooU_HH4jZwc2csJBvWeDmxdAbG6uNGwa1tc4f8tpZLMoZ0Df48BGoo add a Mondrian https://frametowall.com/products/2xboxl-pc-shd-s596-composition-no2-2x-matted-28x33-extra-large-black-ornate-framed-art-print-by-piet-mondrian?srsltid=AfmBOoqV1iT_QwZPx_ODI7LtCKeS4K2770C4fzBgqeZkTCPYACjGdwx7MGQ vasserly https://www.chairish.com/product/4949614/victor-vasarely-progression-3-5-optic-art maybe a small escher https://www.wayfair.com/decor-pillows/pdp/eye-by-escher-print-under-acrylic-fcag3580.html?piid=...See MoreKathy G
