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.

Which light fixture for breakfast area?

7 years ago

Just had a new house built and already I'm not real happy with the breakfast room light fixture. All of my hardware and most light fixtures are Brushed Nickel. The pendant lights are Brushed Nickel. The light on the right which is over the table is called "Antique Silver" but it's really kind of a tan color. I love the shape, but the color, not so much. Would something like this be better?




Or is it too Grandma-y? The pictures attached are the fixtures from a different angle. Hard to see the color, but you can see that they are different.

    Your current globe light fixture is gorgeous. I think the one you're thinking of replacing it with is definitely too grandma-y and old style. I think globe, cluster and Sputnik are all the best modern choices.
