Will you still need to swag or are you having electrician move electrical box?

@susan49417

The electrical will be moved.

They're all so different in style and each one is attractive. I've been contemplating that first one in brass.

What struck me is the drum one seems undersized for your room and table, at 20 inch wide.

(I am not a decorator so maybe yours knows better but that really seems too small. My room and table are smaller and I think 20 inch wide is too small for me)

I like the third option but I am biased because I have a similar one.

The silver one and glass one get lost in the vast white space of the ceiling and the black one seems too skimpy. You have wonderful volume and a need to define the dining area. I'd get a wagon wheel chandelier around the same width as the table. You have great ceiling height, which can afford a big piece like these, and the big circular shape really says from far away, "hey this is a dining area". The other pieces your designer suggested would work better over a dining table in a dining room with four walls.

You've been at this so long, everyone has forgotten what the rest of all the open space feels like.

None above are great, none have any relationship to another light in the mix.

Update where you are now, with pictures below. All the rest.

I agree that the drum light suggested by your designer seems undersized. If you want a drum style, consider one with black:

I like chandeliers that light the table not the ceiling , drum lights can meet that criteria but not the ones you show . I think with atable that length you could do a nice linear one.

Thank you all for your responses and helpful ideas.

@salonva The 20” drum is small, it was just given as an example of a drum chandelier.

@champcamp Love your chandelier and your room looks exquisitite. Thank you for sharing.

@kendrah Thank you for your suggestions. Im not in love with the wagon wheel any longer. I’m, just feeling that the current one (23”) is too bulky or heavy. Or maybe its the bronze colour. I always, love your input and ideas, so keep them coming.

@DesignFan

Thank you for your suggestions. Yes, I am also contemplating something with black.

@Patricia Coldwell Consulting

Always love your ideas, and have to agree with the 4000k lighting. Absolutely, agree with downlighting, but am torn between round, drum style or linear.

@Jan Moyer I am so happy, you chimed in. Always love your tough love comments, you are an amazing and generous person and designer. Too bad you are not on Ottawa, though when I drive through Syracuse, on way south, I think of you. Syracuse, a beautiful old city!

You are right, it is a long long process. Thank you for pushing me to get rid of the red rug. Note, the old red chair is now recovered. As per your suggestions, I am including new photos, below.

Here are updated photos. Stools are temporary, Fridge will be replaced with SS. When $$$ is around to spare, lol.

Gorgeous windows and views! i am probably boring but I don’t feel like this is the right spot for a statement piece - I would go with a simple linen drum shade (making sure the dimensions are right and its not too small) and hang it at the correct height over the table (so not hung too high)

As a Moroccan designer inspired by the rich fusion of North African and Bohemian cultures, I suggest considering this particular drum light as an exemplar.

I also love the bling chandelier that you selected, but I am also partial having one in my front hallway. The black and silver one you show I also like. Perhaps it comes in the correct size you need? Also love this hammered copper one above although it may not what you’re looking for.

The crystals seem too formal for your space, so even though the shape and scale are good, I think I'd avoid that one. I feel like she's pushing you toward her choice (which is a very popular fixture at the moment), but if you're happy wih it, that's fine!

@acm Thank you for your response. The designer, is not pushy at all. She has given me ideas and feels they will all work. I do like the bling but, I also remember cleaning my mom’s crystal chandelier...Yuck.

Amazing how things come around again.

A couple that caught my eye:

https://www.lightsonline.com/quoizel-lgr636mbk-legare-6-light-island-chandelier-in-matte-black?page=1

I think this one fits the table tones better than the designer's suggestion. It's from Crate and Barrel. As does this one, again from Crate and Barrel and its texture reflects your chairs. It's slim profile doesn't compete with your windows, as lalagirl points out.

I recommend this one (or similar) for your space. This one comes in a couple of sizes.

@jenny I had already seen the first one you showed, and as well and like it a lot. Thank you for your suggestions.

@barncatz Thank you for taking the time to post your ideas.

@freedomplace Thank you for your suggestions fron Pottery Barn. I need to look to see if this store exists up here, in canada.

That first one from barncats would be awesome for a touch of modern

I agree. That first offering from @barncatz is totally brilliant. Would really work well for a touch of the modern and would not look at all out of place.

You’re welcome, @likestonehomes. If not in Canada, maybe they ship to Canada.

With your high ceilings and open concept I think this Minka Lavery would look Fabulous over your table.

This one would bring in some nickle from the kitchen area.

I thought this one from Wayfair would work well, especially with your ceiling’s height and it won’t obstruct the view.
