Do this chandy go with this decor

15 years ago

Saw this PB chandy on sale and was wondering if you thought this light would look good in this bedroom. It doesn't come with the shades but thought if I added shades it would be in a light color. If you're not feeling the chandy, please feel free suggest other lighting options, except no ceiling fans :) I also purchased some white linen tie up roman shades from PB but can't seem to find a pic of them any longer on the PB website, probably no longer available. I appreciate your opinions as this room has been unfinished for quite some time and I need to get it done. Hoping it all comes together :)

    Ok, that's embarrassing, does this chandy go with this decor :)

  • 15 years ago

    How about this one..... I think I like it better :)

    I have the one ksoxgrl mentioned in a bedroom. It works splendidly. :) I was actually going to suggest it, but she already had.

    Lolauren, do you have the second chandelier that I posted? I do think it looks nice in the pic with the slanted ceiling and white trim which are the same elements in the bedroom I'm trying to finish.

  • 15 years ago

    I like the second one better. It isn't as heavy looking. I think it would look really nice in your bedroom.

  • 15 years ago

    Thanks Jeane, I've added one more as a contender, what do you think?

    I love the second one! The third is quite nice too. Your room is so cute (I have that bedding in my guest room) and the green color is fabulous. I'm sure it's gonna look great when you're done.

    Thanks lemonlime, yes it's time to finish what I've started and just be done with it :) I'm not sure if the 3rd one is too kiddish looking as it's from PB Kids.

  • 15 years ago

    The second one just looks perfect for the room. I have one very similar to the third chandy in our bedroom. Here's a not very good pic from Home Depot website; it looks much better in person. I don't think it's too kiddy looking.

  • 15 years ago

    oops. sorry. Yes, I have the second one.... :)

  • 15 years ago

    I like the white more than the dark colors.

  • 15 years ago

    Personally I think that both of the dark ones oare 'too heavy' for the room. Easily recitfied if you added more black or dark accents to the room.

    I like the room the way that it is though and would go w/ the first white one that you posted.

    Just my .02!

    Ok, here's one more, I need to stop looking. This is also from PB kids. And I just noticed that the other white PB kids chandelier that I previously posted is a plug in so my DH would have to rewire it to hang it from the ceiling. I like the Home Depot one posted above as well. Ugh, decisions, this is why I can't seem to finish anything :)

    Ttodd, how about if I added a reading lamp with the dark finish like this one. Do you think that's enough to sort of ground the dark finished chandelier?

    The last one or one before, definitely! no dark...

  • 15 years ago

    Any of the light w/ crystal ones!!

  • 15 years ago

    I also think any of the lights with crystal would look fantastic is your gorgeous garden-inspired room.

    If you like the PB one or it's more affordable, why not just spray paint it white and add some decorative elements to it? Could be a fun project

  • 15 years ago

    I love the one with the strings of glass pearls! So pretty and I think it would be fun in your room. If not, I also like the last white one with crystals. Can't wait to see the finished room!

    Okay, no throwing rotten tomatoes at me, but I don't like the chandeliers in the room. I think it would look better with some sort of woven pendant to pick up on the natural elements of the bench, rug and wooden floor. I linked a few below to give you an idea of what I mean although I didn't edit these for size, so I'm sure some are too small for your room.

    Here is a link that might be useful: Woven Pendant

    I still like the second one, if you think it is too dark, you could spray paint it heirloom white. My second choice is the last one - PB kids. But I wonder if it would be big enough. You don't want to go too small for the space.

  • 15 years ago

    forhgtv, no I won't throw tomatoes at you :)and thanks for providing another option, hadn't considered rattan. I'm still liking the PB #2 light even though it's dark. I may try to place a few darker elements that I have around the house in the room to see what it looks like. Thanks everyone!

  • 15 years ago

    Not liking any of the choices pictured above. . . . how about something vintage looking?

    Am leaving now for a grand tour of lighting companies in Atlanta to replace the hanging light in the kitchen and also our dining room chandelier if I find something fabulous. If I see something great I will take a photo for you!

    The iron lights IMO are wrong for your room both in color and style, even with lighter shades.

    kswl, thanks and good luck with your lighting search :)

  • 15 years ago

    I like all the ones you posted, but there's something about the 2nd one that I keep going back to.

    Hope some photos help. My room does have a lot of dark elements. You could easily add some to your room to pull it all together. :)

    I was all set to say DEF. the 3rd one...until I saw LoLauren's pix~ that's the one!!

  • 15 years ago

    Lolauren, thank you for posting those pictures! Your BR is beautiful and the light looks perfect with your decor. I'm still not so sure about it with my decor but I will try to stage it with several darker items and repost. I may not get to it today or tomorrow though, went car shopping today and off to visit a potential college for my son tomorrow :) Thanks again everyone!

  • 15 years ago

    I have to agree with one of the lighter colored chandy's -- Lolauren's furniture is dark so the darker chandy works there. Your furniture is white, so I don't think the darker chandy will work for you (unless you painted it a lighter color). JMHO! It's a pretty room!

  • 15 years ago

    Just a quick post of the room with a few darker items. I know some of these items don't look like they belong in a bedroom but just for an idea of the darker ORB look. And please excuse the mess it's my daughters room who will soon be flying the coop! Thanks again, I'm sorry for taking up so much of your time :) but I do appreciate it.

    I like your room better w/o dark accents. One of the things that I think is soooooo appealing about your room is the fact that it is so fresh, crisp and pleasingly vibrant.

    lolauren's room is really, really beautiful but in a whole totally different direction than yours.

  • 15 years ago

    The "White Ella" Chandelier from PBKids might be a bit too narrow/small for your space. It's 13" w x 22" h

    The one I own, "Audrina," is 20" w x 26" h..... My room is quite a bit smaller than yours and the ceilings are only 9 feet. With your high ceiling and extra space, you might want something at least the size of the Audrina.

    As for which metal tone you should go with, it depends on what direction you want to take the room. Do you want it to stay beach/cottage/feminine looking as it does? Then you should stay away from the dark elements. It will change the look........ If it's time for a change and you want darker elements, then that's another story. :) (If that is the case, I would change the knobs out on the furniture to ORB tones, paint the door knobs ORB and maybe bring some dark wood elements into the space... but that's just me! :))

  • 15 years ago

    I totally agree w/Ttodd! Both your and Lolauren's rooms are beautiful, but they are just really different. If you want to stay with the look you have going, I don't see a dark chandy working there.

  • 15 years ago

    ok, thanks, so I think I'll go with a light chandelier maybe like number 3, or what do you think of a ballister style wood light with shades?
