Do these light fixtures go?

8 years ago

Advice on dining light fixtures...


We are trying to accomplish a somewhat modern farmhouse theme. I like my light fixtures over my island but am unsure of the dining fixtures. I’ve thought about painting them black actually but maybe Im way off track with the actual style of them in the first place. Any suggestions on dining lights that would coordinate better with my current island pendants?

    I think a bigger problem is that you did 2 lights over island and 2 over table...Oh just noticed you also have 2 lights that are over each window...to many pairs....can you add another pendant over island three would look great and you have plenty of space they are to far apart.

    I woukd do 1 amazing chandelier over table....make sure your lighting is no higher than 32” from table top to bottom of chandelier.

    Lights over dining table are 33.5” from table. What chandelier would you recommend over the dining table? Also style of sconces over the windows flanking the hood vent?

    I agree about the too many pairs of light fixtures. There are tons of options for your dining table. You can do something similar in style to your pendants or two fixtures to create the look of one dramatic centerpiece.

    Depending on your ceiling height I would do something like these...the round with glass globes needs higher ceiling so need to check length on it...simple farmhouse style is best...the first image on the left is perfect..42” in linear length..would be really nice. Can post info on them if you want just let me know.

    I also think 1 fixture above the dining table, and 3 pendants above the island would be best. I like the dining chandelier, but it does not really gel with the pendants. You could paint it the same color as the kitchen pendants, in case a new one is not in the budget.

    3 of your open lanterns would look so nice over island..here are two examples..

    Many chair spindles, and for variety some, I'd beef up the dining chandelier: not lantern quite, and not too many arms... simple drum a bit elegant shade, but only 26" wide.

    Like the lanterns, it has the detail at bottom - cage look?

    ;-) almost like a horse trough...

    Thank you all so much for your advice!! I had originally wanted this dining light from Restoration Hardware to go with my island pendants but it wasn’t available in August when we were buying our fixtures. Sold out?
    Anyways, I see they are available again and I’d buy one in a heartbeat but my only hesitation is the fact that I now have the wiring and two holes in my ceiling...do you think it would be possible to utilize one of those holes& wires for this rectangular cage without having to rewire through the beam? In my mind it seams as though it would look better to have the beam in between the two chains vs the light hanging from the beam right? And if so there should be a way I can make that work wouldn’t you think? I realize I wouldn’t be able to use the rectangular ceiling trim/fastener that the light comes with. That way I can cover the holes from the existing chandeliers. I do love the rectangular “horse trough” light but we are trying to stay away from any lighting that will block the view through the French doors. I would like to keep an open airy feeling...like you look right through the dining room windows out to our pasture & hills. I would prefer to replace the chairs with something low & slip covered and keep an airy light fixture vs keeping the “airy” chairs and use a bulkier light. Hope that makes sense? I’ve also attached a photo of what you see when you walk in the front door of our house. Maybe that helps give a better picture of the current feel of our home.

    I also have this light fixture in my living room (ignore the fireplace, it’s not finished). It resembles a light fixture that was recommended above. Wondering if I should move this to the dining room instead?

    I agree that you have too many pairs, I would recommend a large long chandelier over the dining table.

    I think the dining room lights are too big to be paired. A pair of your kitchen lights in the dining room (same size or a bit smaller) would not feel so bulky.

    The dining room needs a large rug to fit the dining set plus people seated around the table...at least two feet of rug all around the table would do.

    Why not move the two lanterns from island to over the table and add a third chandelier to match what you have over table to over island....than the lighting over table is open and airy will not block view and the other chandeliers will look much better over the island being they are a bit more heavy and the white finish will look great with the counter and white walls...
