Master bedroom light fixture

9 years ago

I am having trouble finding a light fixture for my master bedroom that is the suggested dimension according to designers. The room is 13x17, with 8 ft ceilings. If I add the ft and convert to inches, the ideal fixture width should be 30". However, I am finding it very difficult to find a fixture wide enough that is not too long for my low ceiling.

I have found a flush mount that we are interested in, but it is only 18 " wide, 14.5 " length. Would this be too small considering that scale of the low ceilings?

If you're looking for transitional, we would lean less toward crystal. "Drum" fixtures are a popular transitional choice. There any several material and metal finish options for this kind of style. Try the Lacey or the Lara

18" in diameter may not be enough for this room. If it's going to be under 30", it needs to have more of a presence. You could try a different style fixture, maybe the Ghia, the Viera or the Renaissance!

I was hoping to find a fixture that was more transitional in design. I don't want the room to lean too traditional. Any recommendations for larger, more contemporary fixtures?

Yes,the fixture you found is too small in scale. Scale is so important in a space. I find most people choose fixtures that often too small. What about this fixture. It has that same feel as your original one. I suggest using different size pillows on the bed to create some interest and lay a blanket at the foot of the bed. A bench in front of the bed would also be a nice touch if there is enough space.

Thank you Design View Inc. Your suggestions are beautiful. I definitely plan to add pillows, a throw blanket, and a bench once I address the lighting and window treatments in this room.

Do you have any contemporary or transitional lighting recommendations? With the furniture I have I would like to choose more transitional accessory pieces so the room does not lean too traditional.

The Lotus lights are very nice. Would a silver leaf finish work in the room? Is that a mix of silver and gold together?

How about this light? Size is good and hubby liked it when we saw it in person. Is this considered traditional or transitional?

In response to your question regarding the lotus fixture. Yes it is a silver finish. I am not opposed to mixing finishes, but the gold finish fixture would work well with the frame on the mirror and the drawer pulls on the dresser. It's a unique piece.

I plan on removing that gilded gold mirror. It's a bit too ornate. I want a calmer mirror, maybe a champagne gold and in a more contemporary design.

It's very nice and it will go well in your room. If you like the lotus, the first one (silvery finish) would go very well

I think that you need a fixture that is larger than 18 inches. You could do something like a like traditional chandelier with a contemporary drum around it to balance the traditional versus contemporary. I also think that mixing metals adds more depth to the room, so I wouldn't worry about if they're going to clash. Just make sure they're not too drastically different.
