Need help selecting dining room chandelier

11 years ago

Hi everyone :) My husband and I are moving into our new home next month, and we are really struggling to find a chandelier for the dining room.

We ordered this dining table set from Costco: http://www.costco.com/Berkeley-9-Piece-Dining-Set.product.100056456.html

And we plan to hang this bronze bird/branch sculpture on the wall: https://www.houzz.com/products/bronze-bird-wall-art-prvw-vr~1487562

The problem is, we are having trouble selecting a chandelier that will go with these pieces that we've already picked out.

We like a more traditional/elegant look, but we don't want anything too fancy or intricate since we don't want the chandelier to look "busy" next to the wall art.

I am attaching a couple photos of the area we are transforming into a dining room. The long wall (perpendicular to the wall with the fireplace) is just over 13' long.

Any advice or suggestions? We would also appreciate some help with picking the correct size chandelier.

    attached a few ideas. the first is kind of shaped like a bird cage which is cool, and would go with your metal wall piece. and the second one is simple. the width of the light should be no more than half the width of the table- so the fixture should be about 20" wide

    I really like the table!

    I like the longer shape of the Quoizel la parra 6light that you posted, but I wouldnt go bigger than that size
