Need Lamp/Chandelier for Open Concept Living/Dining Room
We plan to have a 48-54" round table under the light (where the wires are hanging from the ceiling)
Need something about 24" (20/21 looks too small).
Cabinets will be Pure White with brushed nickel finishes.
Cascade White Pental Quartz countertops
White subway tile backsplash
Stainless appliances
Maple Floating Shelves and Maple Living Room mantle (sitting on counter under kitchen window in pic)
Floor is unfinished White Oak.
Including a pic of our kitchen/dining room.
Here's a picture of a light I like - similar kitchen - white cabinets, stainless appliances, wood floor. But we just have a place for a single light. And I can't find a single light like this large enough. Mostly small pendant lights. Also tried the "basket" look to warm up the space. But nothing quite worked.
Would really appreciate any help, suggestions, or ideas.
Thank you so much.

here's a photo of the other side of the room. It's kind of an L-shape. TV stand will be gone and TV will be mounted over fireplace.

Open Concept floor plans without formal living rooms or dining rm
Comments (16)Thanks for the feedback everyone! A little more information, we live in the San Francisco Bay Area, and the local building department allows us to only have an engineers stamp, it isn't required to have an architect. Additionally, our builder (while not an architect) has a lot of experience drawing up plans, and if we could find a floor plan that only needed some modification then he could draw up the plans. Maybe we will end up going to an architect after all, however at the moment I'm just trying to collect some floor plan options to see if we can avoid it. Ideally, we are looking for a single story home that has a large great room, windows in the kitchen, 3-4 bedrooms and about 3000 square feet. We don't need a seperate dining room, or formal living room, though if a plan has a dining room we will turn it into an office, or some sort of other "flex" space. Thanks!!...See Moreopen concept dining and living room...what rug?

Comments (7)I like a lot of light as well. I think everything is well lit except for your family room. Definitely not enough light in there (especially if you want the option of a brightly lit space. There is no center lighting and everything has been arrange around the edges of the room. IMO, what you have is a HUGE span with zero lighting which is not at all adequate. Some people prefer room edge lighting and that’s what they’ll recommend. But if you like a lot of light, I don’t think the way your designer set things up will satisfy that need. If it was my home, even though the ceilings are only 8 feet, I would want a center fixture (small chandelier or semi flush)...something pretty. If you are not sure about your furniture placement they can always install the box with lots of extra wire looped in the ceiling so you can adjust it later. Just take pics of your ceiling joists when it’s all opened up (if it is opened up) so you know where everything is located. Makes it easier later. You’ll have a little sheetrock repair, but completely manageable. I would add more cans/wafers around the center of the room and put them on a dimmer. You can always turn them off or dim them if it’s too much light, but if there’s nothing there, you’re stuck with a dark room and no real way to fix it (other than having your electrician return and hack up your ceiling). I’m not a fan of LED, but some people love it. Just make sure you like the type of light they put out before you bite the bullet on them....See Moreopen concept living and dining room design dilemma
Comments (20)Yes, I agree to have the sofa facing the fireplace and flank the fireplace with the chairs. IMO the only thing that is really not working here is the coffee table, it doesn't seem to have enough weight with the glass top and open bottom. and ottoman with a tray might be nice in front of the fireplace. I feel like the dining room could have a buffet to cozy it up a bit. I think you would need a pretty large rug, which might overwhelm but it could be a great way to tie it into the adjoining space. Over the fireplace, you need to put art, something that ties to the large piece that is in the dining room that will also bring cohesion to the space. You could put that mirror over the cabinet you have in the dining room on the short wall. Maybe you could try the rug from the living room in the dining room just to see if you like a rug in there......See More

last yearlast modified: last yearI found a chandelier that incorporates the style from the pic posted above but with the glass like the inspiration pic.
The chandelier is 25" x 25"
Now the question is what height to hang it? We have 8 foot ceilings.
