Help me choose a light fixture

11 years ago

We've already purchased this light for my son's bathroom: the first photo shows the fixture best, but the second photo shows the finish it's in (weathered zinc from RH).

Now I need to order the light fixture for son's bedroom. It will be pretty close to the above bathroom fixture, so I want them to coordinate. I would like the same finish because I love it (as does he). Which of these do you think coordinates best?

3) husband isn't a fan of this one, says it looks like an interrogation light

4) This one coordinates perfectly, obviously, but can I use a pendant for a bedroom ceiling light?

Thank you!!

Michelle - I'd not to a 'dangler' depending on how old your son is? My 12 year old is constantly shooting 'hoops' using his laundry hamper as a basket, rebounding off walls and whatever else (it's a small softer ball, not a basketball but it's a ball nonetheless). It would be a problem for him I am sure.

My eye caught the quentin for some reason but the rutherford does have that flare at the base that mimics the flare of the bath light so it ties nicely there. They all are very cool and I like the finish.

How high are your ceilings? I would think that might make a difference in the type of fixture you choose (flush, semi, hanging, etc.)

I like 1 or 2 best. There is also the onion ceiling lamp, which comes in different finishes and with choices of glass.

I'd go with the Rutherford.

Your ceilings aren't high enough for a pendant in the middle of the room (where people will be walking under it.) So that cuts out the last 2. Also, with lights like the barn pendant, they tend to light straight down, not around. So they are best used over a counter or other work area.

Of the top 2, the Quentin seems a lot "prettier" than the bathroom fixture. I think the Rutherford works better.
