I agree with the longer rectangular shape. I like the capiz . Its very natural looking. I have seen it at west elm when in san diego. Do you think it matters if I have track lighting on both sides? Should I try to tie in the color of the table.. which is a sapelli redish brown wood? I once had that wall painted red and it just looked too bright. The only colors I really like would be the silver thats on the wall with the tv or a dark gray as you mentioned or maybe a light yellowish cream to tie into the pillows and natural accessories in the room. I love dark purple too but I just dont think it will work on that wall. Do you think the lamp should have silver metal in it to repeat the chrome metal on the coffee table? I am a bit confused with which elements in the room to repeat in the colors and design of the chandelier . Oh and how do I coordinate this light with kitchen lighting if I put up 3 pendents over the island which is in clear view of the dining room table? Open concept houses are nice but present challenges it seems.

What size is your dining room? That would help determine the size. If your room is 10 X 10 you would add the two together for a 20 inch diameter fixture. A few inches either way is ok but that will help you get the correct size without being too small or large for the room
