Chandeliers for dining and entry

8 years ago

I'm having a hard time choosing a chandelier for my dining room. The table length is 108".

I want to have a linear one.


Here is the dining room:



Here are the finished drapes that need to be hung:


Here are the 3 chandeliers I'm considering:


Option-1: Jonathan Adler Ventana Oval (45" L; 26" D; 16" H)


Option-2: Currey & Co Metro Rectangular (54" L; 17" D; 23" H)



Option-3: Kichler Casilda Oval (40" L; 23" D; 25" H)



Which one would you pick? Can someone please photoshop them, so I can try to visualize.

I haven't seen any of them in-person which is making me nervous. Although, I was able to go to Jonathan Adler showroom and was able to see a sconce (which I liked).

They have a Labor Day sale 20% off, which I would like to use if possible. But, I don't want that to factor into the decision.


Thank you.

    There is a version of 1 that you could use for the entry. It comes in two tier and three tier.

    houssaon,

    I too checked it out. But the 2-tier one is 42" wide. I thought the proportions may not work for the entry. The current one is 26-28" inches wide. I'm nervous about picking something much wider. I don't mind taller ones because the entry is almost 20' tall.

    The one with one shade is W 32.5" / D 32.5" / H 27"

    I think that Chrome and smoke chandelier is too formal and the wrong color. Doesn't go with the aesthetic of either of choices. You need something with antique brass if your going with Option 1. With option 3, you have the sterling gold finish to work with.

    I like 1 and 2. They also both relate enough to me because of the color. You could do one in the dining room and the other (in a different shape) in the foyer.

    You have purchased nice things for the room, but what doesn't look right is that the rug is too small or the table is too big ... does the table have a center leaf you could take out?

  • 8 years ago

    If you go with the Kichler Casilida, it comes in a smaller version (29 inches) for the foyer. I like the bronze finish with your window treatments.

    Chispa, Thank you. I agree the rug is small, but I couldn't go bigger to the next size because the rug would then touch the floor border. I cannot change it and I've accepted it for now, atleast. The table doesn't have leaf on now.

    houssaon,

    Thank you for the suggestions. Husband doesn't like drum chandelier, so he won't be happy having it in the entry.

    I like crystal chandeliers when they are ON, but don't like the icy cold look they have when turned OFF.

    The entry chandelier is visible more from the upstairs, it's right in front of the master bedroom. I would like to have some bling, which is why I have been looking at smoke crystals. It doesn't have to be crystal, but would love to have something fancy.

    The search for the foyer chandelier continues. I think I will go with the Jonathan Adler Ventana (Option 1) for dining room.

    Will any of these work in the foyer along with Ventana in the adjacent dining room?

    What is the length of your dining table? Love the Johnathon Adler but not sure it is going to be large enough...that table is really long...

  • 8 years ago

    Hi Julie,

    The table is 108" long. But the room is not proportionally big. The table doesn't look overwhelming because all the adjacent spaces are going to be empty.

    Oh just saw it is 108”...ok it should be at least 1/3 the length.....and width of table -12=Chandelier width.....I think it is good...let me look at the size again..

    I would do the gold linear Curry and Company for dining room and the Ziyi by visual comfort for foyer...beautiful combination..

    Still absolutely love the kitchler Casilda but afraid it just isn’t big enough.

  • 8 years ago

    Thanks for your suggestions Julie.

    I've been looking at the Currey fixture for a while, but something about it doesn't feel right for my space. Size is of a concern, would it be big and overwhelming with all the lines and no softness? My current fixture is all just brass metal with no softness and I don't like it.

    The new one you suggested, while very beautiful, is a surprise/shock to me. Let me process it for a while.

    I wish there is a linear version of Ziyi.

    Kjoy if you are around could you photoshop this chandelier for me and two of the Johnathon Adler over this 108” long table? :) Lexi maybe it will help to see it..hope Kjoy gets my post!

    Hi HIWE:) Is this what you had in mind...if not I can try and adjust...











  • 8 years ago
    Lexi, Julie’s suggestions are great! I love the combo she suggested for foyer/dining with the Currie fixture. If you’re worried about softness, maybe she can give some additional decor ideas to help with that.

    Kjoy, Thank you so much. Was hoping you would see this post.


    Can you also photoshop the Currey fixture in dining room and Visual Comfort Ziyi in the foyer?

    Thanks!

    Kjoy,

    Here is the foyer where the Ziyi needs to go.

    Kjoy,

    Thank you SO much.

    Would you please do another with the Ventana(attached below) in dining room and leave the Ziyi in the foyer.

    For scale purpose, Ventana is 45" and the table is 108".

    Beautiful drapes by the way!

    Is the artwork staying?

  • 8 years ago
    last modified: 8 years ago

    Julie, Why do you think Ventana in dining and Ziyi won't work together?

    The 2 tiered Ventana would be too big for the foyer. The current fixture is around 28" in diameter. The Ventana is 42.5" and Ziyi is 33.5"

    Kjoy, The seafan artwork will stay. It needs to be hung though. The one on the floor won't stay in dining room.

    Credit for the drapes go to Julie :)

    The two tiered is way to big for foyer....agree...thought that a smaller was available:(

    thoughts on matching Troy lighting I found?

    one for dining room 10 light

    One for foyer 8 light

    They are beautiful Julie.

    But, I had my heart set on a linear one for dining room. Also, the all brass ones are looking blah with everything else being monochromatic.

    If nothing else works, I may have to settle for a round one in the dining. But, I would prefer to settle for the foyer one instead :)

    Totally understand...I am just worried with your high ceiling that Ventana linear is going to look small..the height is only 16”

    Thanks for checking Julie. No progress on Chandeliers.

    I got side tracked with living room drapes. I ordered the fabric, but I have a feeling I may not like it. I will post it here for input once I receive the fabric.

    Is this for foyer? Will the first one you just suggested work better with Ventana in dining room?

    Is that big vent on the left wall..just a air exchange...gosh it is big;/ I would paint it at least the wall color to help blend a bit more...but I am sure you could find a vent cover that looks better in that gorgeous dining room...several companies online
