Choosing semi flush kitchen light fixture

7 years ago

last modified: 7 years ago

I purchased this sconce to go over my kitchen sink but now I worry about finding a suitable overhead light that does not clash. I prefer a 3 light semi flush light that does not hang down too far. I absolutely love the light but the collection does not have a matching option. It is the Paxton from Pottery Barn. I will add that the glass bell does have a slight green tint to it...think Mason jar but not as dark.

She does have a point, any other bulb in there will glare in it I think it was more of a fyi. The second part leads into is this going to be your only source for lighting in the space, the candle bulb will give as much light as any other 60 watt bulb so do not assume the base predicts the light quality. This one you like will cast shadows I would go for something that will give you a more even light.

Hello! It's definitely possible to not do a matching fixture and get the look you want. I like what a few of these projects did below by keeping the same metal material- so in your case the iron, and keeping that as the constant. I would not mix glass. I would try to do an open fixture or a solid black one as you will see below. I hope this helps envision your space a bit more. Good luck!

I sure hope you like a yellow cast to everything in your space since that is what edison bulbs give you and in a kitchen a single center light is not what you need .

That is actually the stock photo from Pottery Barn's website. I suppose you could put in any darn bulb you wanted to. But I also do not have your average cookie cutter white and grey kitchen...

I have a warm and inviting kitchen and a single bulb is all I need over the sink. The question was what 3-light fixture could I install in the center of the kitchen that would compliment the sconce.

It doesn't have to match just not clash. I like this but I cannot abide E12 bulbs.

Thank you RL, I appreciate your comments. The link you provided has a milky finish....I don't care for any white. I like this fixture but I read on reviews it casts a peachy light, I bought the matching dining room light on FB marketplace CHEAP...

if interested I handcraft light fixtures, I can make almost any possible configuration and I offer several finishes and materials; I could make a semi-flush three-arm mini-chandelier (same arms as your sconce with or without a glass shade).

again it's about quality of light in a kitchen, and I am guessing this is your main center light. choosing things with a colored fabric or glass will promote a cast of light in the same color. Also I'm not fond of fabrics in a kitchen as they soak up smells, oil and whatever else might occur. perhaps if you posted a picture of the space you would get more responses.
