Copper dining table with brass chandelier?

last year

We are about a week from moving into our new home and I'm looking for a new dining set - would prefer a ~54" round table. I already have the Arhaus Andreas 40" chandelier in brass and the only table I've liked is a copper top with matte black base from Haverty's. Can these possibly work together? If not, what other finish would you recommend?

Our house pictured below with Celtic Green Wellborn Cabinets, Silestone Calacata Gold countertops, Delta champagne bronze faucets with matching hardware, Anderson Picasso Hickory Crema floors (warm brown)

Yes, you can, mixing metals isnt new, I think it will look great, just bring a few more aged copper pieces to tie it together. I like how the chairs at the table in the show room have brass tacks just little suggestions that will tie it all in.

I think it would work well together! Mixing textures creates interest in a space and avoids looking too uniform within a space. These work especially well together since they're warm toned to match the floor, I would just pick neutral colored chairs to compliment it.

I would look for something newer and fresher than either the original or the black chandelier, maybe a light with a drum shade? The black does not add anything to the table and chairs and built-INS, both of which are lovely, btw. Trying to update with a type of chandelier (black one) that already looks dated is a waste of money. You don't have anything else in the room that says wrought iron rustic, transitional/country bronze or any of the other types of rooms a chandelier like that would complement. It's often easier to update traditional decor with some piece or element that is a little more modern than you would normally select---it makes the room seem updated and fresh while remaining traditional. I'm not. Expressing this very well, I am afraid. . . . Just speaking from a perspective of one who has very traditional tastes but is faced with the same issue-----updating for a newer look.

I'm not sure. All of the fixtures (lights, doorknobs, cabinet pulls, faucets, towel rods, etc.) in my house are of the same type (brushed/satin?). I don't think it would be faux pas to have different fixtures, however, it wouldn't suit my personal preferences. I think you should pick what you like best.

I like the stools but I think you should wait to pick a table so you can make sure to get coordinating dining chairs. I'm not sure if it will work in your space size wise, but I think round dining tables are a bit more casual and also will fit the curve of your doors better. https://www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdp/lark-manor-parfondeval-54-round-glass-dining-table-lrkm3258.html https://www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdp/sydney-dining-table-60-lrfy8253.html https://www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdp/darby-home-co-eldorado-dining-table-dbhc2166.html https://www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdp/lexington-oyster-bay-calerton-extendable-dining-table-ltn3599.html https://www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdp/one-allium-way-roswell-dining-table-oawy7418.html lights also depend on shape of table. But in general I would go for something thats a touch casual for a breakfast area. https://www.wayfair.com/lighting/pdp/lark-manor-tremiere-4-light-geometric-pendant-lark3145.html https://www.wayfair.com/lighting/pdp/arteriors-home-geoffrey-12-light-candle-style-chandelier-arn2920.html https://www.wayfair.com/lighting/pdp/langley-street-maria-5-light-kitchen-island-pendant-lgly6113.html

Thank you! I really appreciate your responses. I don't trust my own taste sometimes :-) and this has me really excited! (which I really needed today since there was a large water leak in the house last night and they are currently tearing up part of the flooring in that photo :-(.)

@RL Relocation LLC, I love the tip about bringing in the other aged copper pieces to tie it together. I love copper but wouldn't have thought to do this myself. Plus the brass tacks on the chairs pulling it together is a really interesting point.

@Gray Space Interior Design I love your point about creating interest and the warm tones. That makes it make sense to me.

I didn't love the chairs in the photo and was thinking of something more like this photo below but now I'm intrigued by the brass tacks.
