    Very difficult without knowing your style, what room, etc.

    Oh i put it just above the poll options - My dining room style is industrial/eclectic.

    Sorry i havent posted a photo but my iphone is all full up!

    One thing to think about is the heat from the light bulb transferring to the other materials and possibly causing a fire. I'm saying they will, but I know my firefighter husband would blow a gasket if I told him I was buying a chandelier made of twigs. It would sit in the box as I got lectured on how heat transfer can and does cause fires. Same with that first one with the greenery on it. I'm sure the antlers aren't going to burn as they're basically bone. Just keep that in mind....

    Now these are some unique chandeliers!

    In an industrial space I would opt for the pulley lamp but you need to consider the size and shape of your dining table. At 40 inches wide it would look best over a long rectangular table.

    For sure the double pulley. Well..you risk of having your living room looking a bit tooooo much like some of those contemp fashionable-cool restaurants, pubs and/or hotel lobbies but that's what happened when things go on fashion!

  • 10 years ago

    I'm not sure any of them would work for you, there are excellent choices if you search Houzz for "industrial chandelier". Without seeing the room I would say the barn pulley sounds like it would work the best. I love the antler but it needs to be in a very specific style room.

    It depends on the room and what other decor you have.

    All of them are very unique and pretty, that being said ... nightmare to keep clean! Unless of course your not doing the cleaning!!!!!

    You may want to search Houzz Shop for industrial chandeliers..vs someone's idea book - as it may help to narrow down for you. You'll also have to consider the size/shape of your table and the type of lighting/shading you like as different styles will give off different depth of lighting. Also Houzz Photos may help, if you search for industrial dining rooms.

    I would put NO Chandelier in the dining room, most of them put off bad lighting at best. I like one or two recessed halogen spot can lights that shine light straight down on your table, put them on a dimmer and you will have light where you need it, on the table. Then for some drama you can put a large vase of flowers or seasonal items, an old French/English large pottery jar, for a focal point. Good luck with that idea, and happy decorating. Do something different that works.

    Well shipping charges just put that light out of my pocket book..way too much for a 6 lb light.

    Why are you asking other people's opinion on what should go In your house? It's YOUR house.

  • 10 years ago

    I guess the double pulley one is the least creepy looking, but they all sort of look like they belong in a haunted house. I guess appropriate for this time of year, ha!

    I, too, love the antler one (even though I prefer antlers on living creatures). The 'Enchanted' is also amazing, but my first thought was dust! (ditto for several others). I have to admit the industrial one might suit, but I don't like it, so I'm voting for the jet black crystal - unusual, but attractive. A photo of your kitchen would really help.

  • 10 years ago

    I can't say I'm crazy about any of them. I guess the pulley light is sort of OK.

    I kinda like the enchanted forest thing, but it will end up covered in dust and cobwebs pretty quick.

    The black crystals will work well if you're going for the Morticia Addams vibe.


    The twigs need a couple of birds to complete it.

    The antlers? Why stop at antlers? Go ahead and add a few internal organs to it.

    Who is going to be dusting these?!

  • 10 years ago

    I got a chandelier I love from this manufacturer: http://www.handmadeinvermont.com/hubbardton_intro.htm

    Cleveland above has nailed it. Most chandeliers, no matter how beautiful in themselves, shed ghastly light. Look around the room, at the art on your wall, on your guests, at yourself, and you'll see the same glare as given by a bare light bulb in a tenement. If contemporary recessed cans aren't your style, consider hanging lamps with opaque shades. These can range from drum shades such as are used on ordinary side-table lamps to miniature shades for electric candle chandeliers. The transformation of the light itself is what you want to transform. And install a dimmer switch; you'll be glad you did.

    I have the 10 bulb one posted above in a comment and I love it. I get lots of complements on it when people come over and it sheds lots of light. It can be too much on full blast so it is on a dimmer.

    Love the Appalachian Branch Chandelier but would hate to dust it so I would buy the Antler.

    None of the above. Keep looking. They are all too fussy. Your idea books favor cleaner modern lines. These chandeliers look chosen by another person. Good luck. Post a picture of the room when asking for help.

    I have the twigs pendant light in my bedroom. It works perfectly for that room (an area where bright light is not necessary), but I don't believe it would work well for a dining room. It's not very large (about 18" across) and doesn't put out much light. It has actually been quite easy to keep clean and with an LED light there are no worries about it getting too warm. I love it, but I also saw it in person before purchasing it and new its shortcomings.

  • 10 years ago

    They are all very nice but the more detailed they are, the harder to clean. Something to keep in mind as they do gather lots of dust.

  • 10 years ago

    having grown up with crystal chandeliers and witnessing the process to clean the buggers... (ie periodic vinegar baths of the pendants... such care not to get the metal wet... and needing to have fingercots/laytex gloves etc...) i like simple light fixtures.

    I agree, eightpond, but no one listens to me, lol.

    Sorry, Cleveland and tfswest are way off base. The most flattering light at a dining room table is a dimly lit chandelier and candles on the table. The LEAST flattering is overhead spots shining downward creating dreadful, scary shadows on the faces of diners. The only effective recessed lighting in a dining room situation is outside the dining perimeter, behind the diners - ambient light.

  • 10 years ago

    nuh uh~!! most flattering light is candlelight ...on the table.

    Ni need to worry about the heat, you can get led bulbs that look just like Edison bulbs.

    I chose the industrial look for 2 reasons. First I love this style and have remodeled my home in the industrial style. Second would be ease of cleaning. Good luck!
