I like it too! it’s very light looking so it doesn’t seem overwhelming

I would skip art over the cabinets - I feel like that would look choppy

I don't think it is too big, it is a beautiful piece. Art over it will just be clutter. You might consider a more attractive arrangement of what is inside though.

Beautiful light. Larger light fixtures are trending. No art needed over the cabinet.

What is the distance between the bottom of the fixture and the table top?

Not too big. These ceilings need drama and you nailed it. No artwork above the cabinet please please.

Ok You have a very chic room but your curtains dont seem to match the sophistication of the rest of the space. If you dont want to invest in new curtains, at least try pushing these all the way to the sides of the window and let them hang straight down. No tie back hooks.

It’s beautiful. You’re probably experiencing the classic “new item in my house” syndrome. When you redo a kitchen countertop, paint a vanity, rearrange furniture or throw down a new rug your eyes are confused. This is new, sparkly and definitely the “star” of the room. Wait two weeks and tell us if it still feels wrong because it’s not. It’s gorgeous.

I think its great the room can handle the size . I would rather see a nice buffet instead of the cabinet then a pice of art above the buffet and I agree the drapes are better just with no tie backs in fact I might not do drapes with that view and add some outdoor lighting for nightime drama high lighting some of the trees.

It's not too big imo and makes a statement. Very nice. Agree with no art over cabinet. May we see it lit?

The curtains were the first thing I noticed as well. Your chandelier is glam, the curtains are hung in a casual style. I would get two extra panels and hang them wider and straight. If that's not possible, as mentioned above, take off the tie-backs and push them back.

Here's a decent graphic (I don't agree with the pooling advice).

It would be too large if not for the volume of the room. However, the table and chairs just be centered under a fixture this large and yours is off.

If you're going to have drapery panels on the windows for a dining room rod pocket panels are not the way to get this done. The room requires actual pleats on the drapery panels. I would suggest they hang straight down, but if you want them pulled back the window requires the correct fullness of fabric so the fabric drapes correctly. Your window width requires 4 panels across. However I might consider extending the rod a foot on either side of your window so that would add 2 more panels for a total of 6 panels

This room was calling out for that light - it’s perfect. I’d would though get a longer rod, (placed higher) and let drapery rest more on the wall - increase curtain panels. Bringing more substance to the window will draw the eye/frame the view and also create a more balanced feel in room.

Your light fixture is simply gorgeous ! I think your curtains are fine. I don't see anything wrong with them, they fit nicely with everything in the room.

It's gorgeous and the size is great...embrace it! No art over the cabinets, just that beautiful fixture hanging there.

Such a pretty room!!!
The light fixture is perfect for the room!!!
Take in what @Maureen said about the drapes and no art as mentioned above.

I’m agreeing with everyone here - love your chandelier! Also agree no art above cabinet & I love the reeded glass in the cabinet. I do think you could hang art on the wall opposite the window - the one with light switch. Or not - either is fine. The drapes - I don’t mind the tie backs but I do think the panels should be off that window - extend the pole & pull drapes back off window. The current look is off balance from the window above that’s bordered by the vaulted ceiling on each side. Not being able to see the top of the big lower window IMO chops up that wall too much. It also distracts from the light as drapery panels are blocking the natural light from window. Seems like an easy change to try out to see if you’d like it before either moving the pole rod or hanging more panels. Just unhook drapes from the holding pieces & pull them to the outsides of window. Maybe post of pic of that.

It's lovely

Love it and Beverly spoke my thoughts. Your cabinets are probably too much for the size of your room. Would they work on wall opposite window? That would free up space for table to be positioned under chandelier and centered on the window. Then add large art where cabinets are now. You have all the pieces. As to drapery, a low cost solution is to get black rings with clips to hang drapery panels either side of window just hanging down. They look a little short as is now. If you could a woven shade inside mount at window would add privacy, depth and warmth ti your room. I love your organic bowl on the table! Just the right touch! Have fun finalizing your room. It’s these details that elevate rooms to their best look!!

My first thought is it's hung too high...and acting more like an entry/foyer fixture than a dining

It is a beautiful fixture. My questions are where are the light bulbs and how does one dust a fixture like that?

@VINMARKS! You think just like me. Maintenence! How to dust or at least blow off to keep them sparking clean. There are 120 glass “globes” … an I’m a clean freak so let’s see how good we can keep up the shine! 🤷🏻‍♀️

You clean it with a leaf blower, of course.

Do you have a lower cabinet/ sideboard you could swap with the tall black one? Maybe it’s my eyes, but the tall dark cabinet seems to take up too much visual space now that you hung that startling chandelier.

Am I the only one? Did anyone else have this thought? (FWIW - I didn’t notice the curtain issue….)

This chandalier is everything! Love the dandelion too.

It's PERFECT! Don't change it and don't add artwork to distract from it. The style of curtains seems out of place, though. Something lighter and less drapey would go a long way.

Gorgeous! Open the drapes and hang them straight without the tiebacks. Done!

It does look a bit too large. Is it possible to get a larger dining room table. That would help. Also your idea about hanging some art above the china cabinet could also help as long as the art is big and bold and not something washed out looking and not dramatic. I would lower the chandelier some.

Would love a close up and to see it lit! The curtains are needed, but I would want a longer rod so the stack is off the window not blocking the view!

I agree with the wider curtain advice.

OP, could you tell me where you got that tall cabinet? Is it one piece or two separate ones? I’m looking for two tall thin cabinets and I really like what you have.

Hi all thank you everyone for your input. We are slowly getting used to it but if I could snap my fingers and make it 20% smaller I would. Totally agree about the curtains, and we will work on getting the longer rod with the black rings and maybe 2 more panels. Everything in the room is new, even the curtain panels so replacing the table or the cabinets are not an option.(someone asked where it came from, and everything came from Arhaus except the curtains which were Pottery barn and I do love them though they may a bit casual) we had black curtain panels and I despised them but maybe because they were the same size and didn’t look tall enough or wide enough. Will update when we get the new rod and rings. Oh, and I LUV the dandelion pic!! Is there a great source for that somewhere. Last question, other than a modern table display….How to decorate this room for Christmas? The room needs some warming up a bit as it is rather modern; could I put a cute modern 3ft Christmas tree on top of the cabinet…say top left? A tree in the corner of the room (at left of curtains)would work I guess too. Anyway thank you all again. We had a sigh of relief when we read your overall comments. And hubs was glad about no pic over the cabinets(he won that one-ha)

Last pic for all angles.

The curtain change looks great! For year-round decor, I would add some organic items to the room to add warmth. A flat woven tray with succulents on the table and some bold textured baskets or sculptural items in the cabinet to break up the black and glass.

Art would add warmth as well. Typically there would be something on either side of the window but your black cabinet makes the one side tricky. Try some things on the empty wall, something long and bold but not too colorful, it will add some depth and balance to that side.

Thanks for posting updated pics. The window looks much better style wise with the drape panels hanging straight. Holiday decor? I’d dress up the table top - a pretty runner - maybe creamy color shot through with gold so it’s not limited to Christmas. A centerpiece as elaborate or simple as you want. A long bowl filled with red & green glass balls?

The room looks lovely! I just googled "modern holiday table decor" and there are so many creative ideas - I agree getting some natural texture in there would be a nice addition

Re: cleaning/dusting-I have a small electric leaf blower that I use for quick clean ups when I don’t want to mess with the gas blower. It‘s a glorified hair dryer, really, but has a more powerful motor. It would be perfect for your light. I’d turn on the vacuum and have someone hold it below the light to suck up loosened dust, while someone else runs the blower. I didn’t buy it from here, but this is the one I have. Looks like there are lots of others to choose from now.https://www.buffalocorpstore.com/product/pro-series-electric-mighty-pro-yard-sweeper-leaf-blower/

Not too big AT ALL!! It’s FANTASTIC! Curtains look much better and your room is gorgeous. The light fixture is a total star.

I have been thinking about Christmas decor for your dining room. Here a beginning thought. Treat the top of your cabinets kind of like a mantel and add big gold antique bells on one side, draping garland very full across the top, add interesting trees with black branches to add contrast and add black touches. Perhaps add a contemporary reindeer into the overall arrangement. Put gold, pearly white ornaments in your bowl and add a strip of big antique bells on either side of bowl along with some greens. Keep it clean and relatively simple. So fun!!

Shop around for interesting bells that you like. Here are some I found in quick Google search.

Where are your chairs from? I love them

@flo Mangan luv the bells!! Where to hang them from? Curtain tie backs, center of window or tall cabinets? Val, the two captains chairs (world market I had before purchasing the new side chairs which came from Arhaus(obsessed) Thanks all! Keep the decor ideas coming. Now for center table ideas that’s somewhat modern but adds warmth and texture. New curtain rod & additional panels ordered! Will post when done. Thanks!

Would it be too literal to put a few glass Christmas globes clustered in a bowl for the holiday?

Oh, Flo I missed your post about that, looks great!

Where could you put greenery that wouldn't be in the way? A tree? Swags? Wreath? How about a tablecloth?
