What style of light fixture would you hang over the coffee table?
I already have a couple in mind but nothing I am absolutely thrilled about. I need more ideas. This is the room you see when you walk in the front door. Thanks for your ideas!

What type of light fixture would you put above this sink?
Comments (20)Sorry all - I let this thread slip through the cracks while I've been busy or else concentrating on other things! Profrip - The middle of the room pendant that i have now isn't meant to be anything too permanent. I do love that disc/flying saucer look - whether it's turn of century or 1950's diner. I guess it reminds me of the funky huge red one my mom had in our bright yellow and red and orange Matisse-inspired kitchen in the 1970's! But that particular pendant in my kitchen was cheap and too modern (not that I mind inexpensive)! So am I correct to assume then that the general idea is that if you have a pendant or two above the sink, it's generally good to have recessed in the center of the room or else the opposite? Generally speaking? I wish I knew how long I'll keep that pot hanger in the center of the room above the island. I know most people don't do that now but it IS very convenient. I thought I could get rid of it and get the wall pot hanger style to put next to my stove, thereby freeing up the center of the room more...but if I move the stove where I might move it, there will no longer be a wall just to the side of it as there is now...in which case the pot hanger would have to go on the wall behind the counter to the right of the stove which I imagine would mean I'd have to reach over a ways? Plus another convenience of it being in the center of the room is that it's close to the sink for filling w/ water. Those w/ pot-filling faucets wouldn't have to worry about that, obviously, but I don't have one! Where did they put pots in 1913 I wonder? On an open shelf? On a wall hanger? I know a few hundred years ago they went over the island. It sounds like talking to a real lighting person would be a good idea for your space. Have you done that since you last posted here? Thank you for the warm welcome to NYC! :) I somehow believe you that New Yorkers would be perfectly nice to strangers. Well, what do I know! I love your description of your earliest memories of it. Someday...I'm determined...someday! As for that last link you posted: I think those lights are kid of strange! The row of them in the background is just a bit odd to me - but there are some things I really like about that kitchen. EVERY SINGLE TIME I see wooden counters I drool. I love the look of American cherry but it's too soft, and all the hard woods I could find were either too light to me or else too red - or else too stripy - or both. The nice brown woods w/ just a hint of red/orange, e.g. Pacific Madrone, are too stripy....See MoreWhat would you hang over this fireplace? Ideas?
Comments (33)I love the accent wall direction, but I'm not liking the round/sunburst shape there. It mirrors the lamp, but the room is predominantly rectangular so the sunburst mockups look like they sort of complete. Maybe if you could add more curves, through some pillows on the chairs, candles on the coffee table, etc? If you room had a less contemporary feel I'd think it was the perfect spot for some type of gallery mantel, but I don't see a "this and that" approach working too well in your space. As-is, I'd go with something that kept the lines of the rug and fireplace... just for example: Or maybe something that was rectangular (square, but we can pretend...) AND round AND silver-toned:...See MoreWould it look silly to hang a lighted pot rack over a dining table?
Comments (27)I wouldn't recommend a pot rack/light over your dining table. Pot racks are only meant for kitchen islands. I wouldn't do it even if your kitchen island is part of your dining table. What do you think of these options below for your dining table? These are simple transition pieces to start from. Now sizing of the chandelier will depend on the size of your dining table. Good luck!...See MoreCan’t decide what light fixture to hang over this kitchen table.

What a huge compliment! I really appreciate it. I love decorating my space and experimenting with out of the box designs and decor. Thank you.
What do you think of either of these three setups? A, B, or C? Do you have a thumbs up for any of these or are they all thumbs down?

I really love some of the styles on the website you shared. Unfortunately, their pieces are waaaay outside my budget. Sigh.....
I like that organic shape kind of look. I will explore more of that style.
Thanks for the compliment! I had not given much thought about that style. The ones you posted are also similar to the one Gargamel posted. I will photoshop a couple of them. I think I am tired of white. The fixture that is currently there is a white ceiling fan.
So you are thinking long pendant like pieces? I had considered this one.

What do you think of these two? I don't like the color of the second one. I haven't been able to find it in a different color.

I am so drawn to globe lights. I don't know if those are wide enough.
How did I forget about CB2? I see a few there that I like.
I love new players! I am so, so drawn to the shape of the Dakota chandelier that you posted. I love this one but....... it is not Prime and it is coming from China and the seller only has a rating of 67% and blah blah blah.
The light will be centered over the coffee table, in same position as where the ceiling fan is currently. I am not interested in another ceiling fan. I have a really hard time selecting items that are not the focus of attention. It is just how my eye works! I want a light that illuminates the room but style is also very high on my list.

Globe lights are my least favorite, however I do like these for your space.

Many of us like a variety of styles. For this room, I'll ask what feeling you want: creative imagining / cheerful friendly / serious traditional / etc.
Because room has eclectic variety, might be easier to pick an item you want highlighted, that you want 'strenghtened' by one other item's repeat of a color, or wood framing, or pattern.
Is blue "you" in the room? or the red [small but for talking about]

I got the light fixture up. What do you think? I am not certain I have the globes in the correct locations. Hard to tell from the instructions. I am going to take a closer look at a photograph of the fixture online and make sure.
