My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Design Dilemma

Open floor plan lighting

9 years ago

Hello! I posted here a few days ago with a open floor plan lighting dilemma. Well it continues! I've found two lights that both my husband and I like.

They are both a great size for the areas that I want them in--dining room and entry. However, I'm not sure if they work together.

AND the pendant in the image is too small, so I need to find another pendant. I'm thinking about 10" in diameter. Any ideas? I've also uploaded pics of the areas I am looking at putting them in. Thank you!

    I think for the entryway and dining, they go together fine. I don't think the styles clash. I guess I might reconsider the drum pendant to something softer without the metal detail which would probably go better.
