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!

light fixture over kitchen table off-center
Comments (3)If the fixture does not weigh over 25 pounds, you could purchase a 2' piece of track and an end feed along with a pendant adaptor. The track would run from the box to where you need the fixture to hang (the track can be cut) and you would wire the fixture to the adaptor. This has been done many times. If you don't like the idea of the hook, but it is the easiest, you can get a cord cover which is sold in lighting showrooms that matches the colors in the fixture and just put that over the chain and hook, then extend it over to where the box is. Hope this helps....See MoreCoffee Table/Trunk/Ottoman What Would You Suggest?
Comments (12)Trunks as coffee tables are called toe-smashers in my house. I've gone through three. :-) There's gotta be at least a little bit of room underneath for the toes to go. While storage is a nice idea I also found it a PITA since if I wanted to get something from the trunk I had to clear everything off the surface to open it. I would rather have drawers or even a lower shelf I could put flat baskets on (maybe those tailored leather baskets/deep trays?). I rather like something along the lines of the Map Table from Pottery Barn in a satin black painted finish, if you want to bring some of the black from the bar area over here - it's severe enough to play well with Mission furniture without being matchy-matchy at all: I don't think the ottoman-with-tray-for-"stuff" routine is a good idea for the sports-and-beer crowd. It's just asking for something to get tipped over. As for the glass rings, we have not had problems with tables and nightstands with good quality finishes - although I have my DH trained pretty well, there are a couple of my goonier friends who will set a sweating glass down on a table right next to the coaster. We put our feet up on the coffee table too (barbarians! LOL)... this is why I bought an old table with the top wrapped in old copper sheeting, because the more it gets bashed up the better it looks! ;-) However, if this is expected to be a major, major problem, a tile-topped table is right in line with the Mission flavor of the furniture. This one is quite pricey but it gets the general point across very well:...See MoreHOW HIGH TO HANG A LIGHT FIXTURE OVER DINING TABLE

Comments (22)Hey Beth, do you think something like this would work in the space for pendants or do you think it's too big for the space I had mentioned earlier? https://www.wayfair.com/lighting/pdx/brayden-studio-burner-3-light-kitchen-island-pendant-brys7567.html Edison style lights are pretty yellow, with everything else being around 3000k, do you think a regular white halogen bulb would work instead? Another thought was something like this in that space to bring out some of the black in the granite picture earlier. https://www.wayfair.com/lighting/pdx/brayden-studio-daniell-3-light-kitchen-island-pendant-byst8275.html Do you have any thoughts on one over the other? Also, for the dining room table we were talking last night about maybe a hanging drum like this? https://www.wayfair.com/lighting/pdx/willa-arlo-interiors-gaetan-3-light-led-drum-chandelier-wrlo1657.html...See Moreilikefriday
4 years agoWhat 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?

4 years agoI 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.

4 years agoI 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.

4 years agolast modified: 4 years agoMany 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]
