I LOVE Kendall Charcoal BMoore fav color. Is your furniture traditional? Hard to give a suggestion without seeing furniture that will be in the room. You may need larger chandelier depending on table and room size. Any picture available?

what zzmom40 sez..

Here you go! The fixtures in the adjoining rooms are bronze finish (foyer and kitchen). Thanks for your thoughts!

I am assuming you are just updating lighting and all furniture is staying?
Are you wanting to make it more formal ?

I think it will look great. Make sure you hang it low enough.

The furniture is staying, and window treatments have been ordered. I am just not sure what finish to consider for the chandelier. I also love the Savoy House St Laurence chandelier, but I would only have about two links of chain if I go with that one. I am worried that won't look right!

Here is another picture of the room.

This ref pic appears to show a chandelier with a silver finish against the charcoal wall background.

You could add a silver tea set to the sideboard to bring in the silver element.

The room is 16ft long x 14ft wide. The shades on the buffet lamps are silver/gray. I was leaning toward a bronze finish, because the fixtures in the adjoining rooms are bronze. I am starting to think that the "antique" silver might work better. Thanks so much guys for your thoughts. This is the final piece for this room, and I am stressing too much over it!

The antique silver would be gorgeous! 28" diameter is a very nice size chandelier make sure to hang it no higher than 32" from top of table. Your room looks beautiful the chandelier will be the cherry on the top!

Thank you! Which do you like better of these two? Also, do you think a bronze finish would look good? I keep going back and forth!! I really appreciate your input.

I really like image 1
Image 2 is a little heavy looking

2 different styles.

top one is too formal

image 2 would look nice in silver and appear lighter in weight.(no pun intended)

AnneDee You said you liked that chandelier it is the very same one she posted in first picture confused...
still think image 2 is heavy for the space...really dislike the yellow candle stem covers with the fake wax drips..looks granny to me.
Good Luck your room is very pretty you have done a great job..love your host chairs too!

Thank you both. Yes, image one is the same one that I posted originally. I really want something a little over the top in that room, but please let me know if you think it's too much. Do you think as a general rule that an antique silver is prettier than a bronze finish? It's so hard working from online photos! Thanks again for your thoughts!

@zzmom40 I originally preferred the the first one before I saw the dining room.

You are right, I don't like the fake dripping candles and I was going to mention that.

But, the 2nd chandelier appears more open and airy and not as fussy as the first one.

Personally, I would prefer neither but it's not up to me ;)

Klingle33, You should really go with yr heart. Pick the one you like it usually "goes" with everything. More important is that it is the right size for the room and the table.

Anne Dee--do you have any suggestions for another fixture for the room? I would love any ideas. I've been reviewing every magazine, website, etc for something that catches my eye. My first love was the Robert Abbey Bling, but then I talked myself out of that! Pic attached.

I know this is a totally different look....I think it would be very pretty in your space....thought I would share.

that's a very nice chandelier but I don't think it has the wow factor for yr dining room.

I think it's better suited over the island or over a table in a breakfast nook in a traditional setting.

If you are looking at crystal chandeliers the one in these 2 posted ref pics are nice.

this chandelier is similar to the one in the above pic and it's on sale

Anne Dee- I saw the one in picture 1 on Houzz, but I do not think the brand was listed. Do you know? I also like the one ZZmom suggested. I need to look at Shades of Light again.

I also tried to source the light but drew a blank :(

Have fun looking

Last one...thoughts (in antique silver)?

Very pretty..is it big enough for it to have a impact? I wouldn't go any smaller than 28" Diam.

I think so. It is 29W x 29H. What do you think? It is not as overpowering.

That is a very lovely chandy!

With regards to appropriate size the following may help.

"To determine the proper size chandelier for a dining table, choose a chandelier with a diameter that is 50% of the table width or greater. This assumes the table is sized appropriate for room. It should be hung with the bottom of the fixture 30” above the tabletop for an 8' ceiling. "

Found the above on tips for chandeliers:)

Well I think it is a winner!

Thank you ladies! I will post a picture once I am done. I need to stop obsessing and pull the trigger!

Can't wait to see!
