Island Lighting using small 'foyer' light
Comments (4)Those will look awesome. I say go for it... I used 2 foyer pendant lights for my island about the same size and it looks nice. I do have a very high ceiling over the island - 17 foot vaulted ceiling. Several people use foyer sized pendants for the island. Love that dining light fixture!...See MoreFoyer lighting and dinning table lighting
Comments (1)It doesn't have to match necessarily. But keeping them in the same color family, or geometric style would help tie the two fixtures together....See MoreHelp with foyer lighting
Comments (13)The hallway where the Strada Chandelier is placed is a narrow 5'.5" x 12' with a 10' ceiling (I wish it was a more generously sized foyer but its a production built home in an over 55 community). Beyond the first 12' portion is a trimmed opening leading to the second 12' part of the hallway. It's all one long hallway with the trimmed opening dividing it into two parts. The second part of the foyer has two recessed lights. You're correct, the Strada Medium Chandelier is 28" wide. I hope that's a little bit helpful....See MoreUndisrupted Foyer Lighting
Comments (12)I agree that a chandelier would be terrific (gorgeous windows and light btw) - there are lots of "formulas" out there to help with chandy size/scale - there is one from Kathy Kuo's website - not saying this is the "right" one but an example of how to approach it (In a past house I strung up oversized paper lanterns of different sizes to get a feel for scale - helped me be confident when I chose the fixture) Height: First, let’s determine the height you’ll need. You’ll want to start by measuring the height of your room. As you may imagine, the higher the ceiling, the taller the chandelier. Then, you’ll have to do some math. But we promise to make the math manageable with our simple ratio: 2.5 inches in fixture height per 1 foot of room height. This means that for a standard eight-foot-high ceiling, you’ll want an option with a fixture height of about 20 inches. Note: For some visually-light chandeliers, you can up the ratio to 3:1. Diameter: The classic rule of thumb is that your diameter should be half of the room’s parameter treated as inches. Sound complicated? It’s not as confusing as it may sound. Just add together the length of the room with the width of the room. Use that sum, but treat the sum in inches. For people who work better with an example, imagine that your room is 10 ft by 14 ft. Add 10 plus 14 to get 24 total feet. So then, for this size room, you’ll need an option with a diameter of 24 inches. Note: For some visually-heavy chandeliers, you can instead use the diagonal of the room (treated as inches) as the diameter. Just measure out the diagonal with a tape measure (or use the Pythagorean theorem, for any math wizzes out there)....See MoreRL Relocation LLC
