Need help picking out a dining room light.

12 years ago

I am trying o replace my light fixtures around the house. We just built less than a year ago but didn't like the fixtures the builder put in but decided to deal with them for awhile until I got things in the room. The old one was oil rubbed bronze and am looking for something to brighten up the room. Any suggestions?

I have been looking for light fixtures in your dining room but I have not found one I really like so far. I wanted to bump your discussion by making a photoshop. If there are other suggestions, I will photshop them too. This is decorgirly's suggestion. I will number them in case you get many suggestions. It is always easier to refer to them.

Can we see the light fixture you have in your entrance? ... unless this one will be changed too?

I have a drum pendant in my breakfast area and here is a pic of it. The pic is dark but you can get the idea. The finish is silver gold leaf on it.

This lighting fixture totally blocks the artwork on the wall.

Maybe something linear and more open would work. Sorry, I really meant to add the Del Cerro, but the Maui one will work too.

It is my pleasure Tara. There is nothing you need to do. The pictures you have posted are already very good for the photoshop. I will do the photoshop later this afternoon with the decoenthusiast's suggestion. You have a beautiful home!

Hi Tara. Here's two choices I believe it would match. Please notice that the pendants may be out of scale.
I would go for the two pendant lights. These are cheaper and work well with the colour palete and itens.
The first option will force you to change the chairs...
Cheers

Not sure the proportion on 4 is correct, but may just be the cut and paste option that isn't adjustable.

I agree, the proportion could be very off. I did not know the dimensions of the chandelier and your table. Based on the picture of the Del Cerro remodel, that chandelier seemed big to me as it was mounted above a table with 10 chairs.
Tara, can you give us the dimensions of your table and the height of your ceiling?

I was not able to photoshop fixture 8, the one that has branches. It was too hard for me. Maybe somelse can do it:

Fixture 9. The color does not seem right but it is better when you look at the close up:

Personally, because of your rectangular table and the back of your chair, I like the rectangular shape or the shape below.
