Lighting Design Dilemma dining room

Will this light look good above kitchen table?

5 years ago

I just bought this light ( see picture) to replace current small candle style fixture. The light will be centered above kitchen table 60x33in. The new light is round with dimensions 18x18x33. I have 9 foot ceilings. Love the style of this new light, hoping it will work in this space.

What pendant lights would look good over kitchen island?
Q
Comments (26)
how much space between the pendants. Ann, in both comments I mentioned a guide up in my first comment. I guess you keep missing it? here it is again,,,with 3 others. these should give you the needed spacing to choose pendants. while you can play around w/the distance between them, the height should be right at 30" or so, with no more than 36" from the countertop. Since you're going smaller, you don't have to do the 30" between. smaller sized pendants can be a tad bit closer 7" is a mini pendant and far too small to use over your island. shoot for 10-14"

With the possibility of multiple cooks in the house, and children who will also be learning to cook and help in the kitchen, I'd include a prep sink on the island. Helpers can load or unload the DW, or gather dishes to set the table, without crossing into the prep path. I increased the seating overhang to 15"--the minimum recommended by the NKBA.I, too, live in a multi-generational, multi-cook, household--my daughter, her husband, and their two children live with me. I love my second sink!

Kitchen window above sink sits too high above floor. Does it look bad?
Q
Comments (5)
Ours are 51" above the floor. I love it (though didn't choose it--both the windows and the sink location are original to the century-old house). This is, I think, 3.5" trim on the bottom of the windows. It's the perfect height to look out the window while standing at the sink (at least if you are my height!)

Thanks groveraxle for the picture. New light doesn't have much impact on space. Wow factor isn't there. Original light is actually broken so I must replace. Any suggestions from anyone about new lighting? Looking for light from nearby stores... home Depot, Lowe's so I can return if problems.

Not sure about that one either, but the larger size does look better.

It's important to remember that just anything else, a chandelier should represent your own personal style. Don't get caught up in playing by the rules. Pick something that can enhance your space and works with the way you actually live. To size a chandelier for your dining room, or to be the focal point of your space, measure the length and width of the room and add these figures together. The sum, converted to inches, will equal the diameter that you can as a guideline when selecting the size of your chandelier. If the resulting measurements (room length + width converted to inches) seems inappropriate due to the size of your table, size your chandelier three quarters the width of your table. Remember in most cases , the bottom of your chandelier should sit approximately 30"-32" above the table top.

I like something in this genre (linear but petite).

Something with more pattern will be more impactful. But don't get caught up with the pendant. The space is really large and you can also consider hanging an art piece on the wall behind. It could be a game changer.
