Help with lighting fixtures, coordinate or not?
Comments (2)They don't need to match perfectly but they should coordinate. For my home I would want the dining room chandelier to be a bit more ornate, a bit more attention grabbing. The light you've chosen is by far the nicest. I think you should strive to find foyer lights in a similar finish and level of quality, but a little simpler. Here is an example, but it might not be the best choice....See MoreAwkward Front Entry in to Dining room - please help!
Comments (26)Yes, do what I did not do, pull the doors and then store them somewhere if you ever want to sell the house. IMHO, a round table, in front of the fireplace but moved out a bit so you can get around it, will look cozy and suit your daily needs. It's quite common in Victorian or European homes. You can expand when you have company. There's nothing wrong with people coming right into your house. You only open and close the door when they come and leave. The only thing to plan for is the dirt that will track in. With your hardwood floors, you're at an advantage compared to someone who had carpet. Here's a photo from the Pottery Barn web site. The table is even on sale now. They show it on the web page also matched with chairs similar to yours. Note: I don't have any affiliation with PB, it's just an example of what's out there. You could even get a little tea cart to put between the two chairs under the stairwell, and roll it to where it is needed for meals. https://www.potterybarn.com/products/tivoli-round-extending-pedestal-dining-table/?pkey=cround-tables&isx=0.0.4388...See MoreHelp finding an entry light that flows with this dining room light?
Comments (3)Let’s talk shape first. Entry light...assuming you mean for a foyer? Is it 1 or 2 story? Confined space or sprawling? So try to narrow down the size and shape first and then the style should fall into place....See Morecoordinating kitchen light fixtures, please help!
Comments (18)Pendant #2 in the first lineup is fantastic! The white cone and very clean simple brass hardware is as good as it gets for modern/minimal. Love the sputnik fixture too, but have you looked at a similar fixture in person? I've found I can't handle the glare of clear-glass fixtures. Obviously some people can, but make sure you've tested that before you order the fixture. There are very similar chandeliers with frosted shades, if you find the clear glass to glaring....See MoreLights Online
