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.

Advice for my “open concept” kitchen/dining/living room?
Comments (10)Hi, Lindsay. I've got a few furniture arrangements to consider. They all have a moveable island cart for the kitchen. The first two are similar to your current set-up, in that they define the entry. One has the reversible chaise while the other is a regular sofa. The last one has a sideboard behind the sofa. It would serve as a sofa table and provide additional storage. You could think about placing your less frequently used kitchen items in there. The last one also has a reversible chaise. Pottery Barn has some reversible chaises, but I'm not certain their upholstered furniture is of high quality, so you'll want to look into that. Their case goods may be okay. Here are examples of the reversible chaise sofa and a sideboard. The chaise on the sofa has a storage compartment. The dimensions of each seem to be compatible with one another.

They have quite a selection....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 MoreOpen concept living room + dining room - furniture advice needed
Comments (3)Once you have furniture in your space the chair rail will not be noticed on that side. It will not be the focal point. Your furnishings and artwork will be what people will see. Also, spaces that are completely balanced are not nearly as interesting as having a little asymmetry here and there imo....See MoreHelp with long, narrow open concept dining/living room & dead space
Comments (6)Thank you all SO much! Really wonderful to read your suggestions and get input. Much appreciated. And makes me feel there is potential for this space. I never considered a bigger rug, but will do so now as that seems to be a repeated suggestion. We will also take another look at the the height of that mirror on the side wall (above the mantel is a actually a large framed photo that I blacked out for this post). We did experiment with turning the dining table the other way, but it didn't feel right and seemed to block the openness of the sliding doors. And I was leaning towards an upholstered bench behind the couch (for a casual spot to sit with the added bonus of storage for blankets inside), but perhaps that would be odd? Again, thank you all. Keep the ideas coming!...See More

2 months agolast modified: 2 months agoI 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.
