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.

Lamp for dinning space

8 years ago
Hello there! I’m ready to replace my drum shade pendant in our eating area. What do you recommend? I’m thinking of going with a lantern-style pendant. The space is small. It lantern will be right next to our huge stainless steel hood in the kitchen. I love the look of brushed nickel. But would an like tubbed bronze look better in the space?

Additionally, we plan to soon add a corner bench and push the table into the corner a bit. We’ll also be replacing the outside chairs. But the table stays. Thanks!

    I think a bushed nickel lantern would look nice over your kitchen table. I know some like people mixed metals. I am just not one of them. Have you thought of all about a crystal chandelier instead. Are you sure you want a corner bench with the kitchen table? They are hard to get in and out of. Just make sure it isn't covered in material. You want something butts can slide across. Unfortunately I think you are going to have a hard time finding a bench to match your table.
