Making a ceiling fixture&need help finding just the right canopy.
Comments (0)I am wanting to make my own simple light fixture for a small hallway. I'm wanting to have 3 bare bulbs in antique style sockets hanging at slightly different levels with reproduction cloth covered cords. I can not find any round, flat canopies with 3 holes to do this. I realize I can drill into any canopy however I would like a more finished look than that offers. The bar type are too contemporary for what I need. Any help is greatly appreciated. Oh, and I'm not using old products; all are new UL reproductions. Thank you!...See MoreCan't get this room to look right!- Need help. Long!
Comments (51)With all of the built ins, this is actually a MUCH smaller room than it appears to be, and that you are trying to arrange furniture for. And that is why the furniture feels crowded. Crowded, not cozy. The desk and ladder visually blocking the door makes the space feel like there is no room to walk. That may not be correct based on your comments, but it is absolutely the first thing you notice and it sets a tone for the room. The hard lines of the large beautiful desk make the only spot really suited to it in front of the windows. It overwhelms the space if you want comfy seating too because it doesn't leave enough room left over for anything but a small loveseat or oversized chair where you have the desk currently. And the large sofa overwhelms the space if you want it as a more officey area. There isn't room for both functions because of the built ins. You've got to pick one large piece to embody the main purpose here. Either the large desk or a large sofa. Not both. Both don't work with the available floor space. Unless you switch to a small scale writing desk and a smaller scale sofa, and maybe not even then. No extra chair at all. It's already too densely populated. And I agree with the others that the ottoman is visually too bulky and casual for the room. If you choose comfy seating as the room's primary purpose, then I'd choose a sofa that had a matching ottoman to keep the visual clutter at a minimum. All of the different books when they go in will up the noise considerably and you want to try to minimize that effect....See MoreNeed advise as to making the right chose in a dinning room set
