I'm very very over my head when it comes to labeling styles. Be blunt lol!
what about this with some shades? i dont like as is but could modify to put shades on it.

it doesnt make it too big, the table is nearly 70 inches, dont rule it out. What we need to know is how tall is it

this one is likely abput 12 invhes from bottom of swoops to top of shades. im guessing we can modify the chain/pole to be however long. it says it is 50" tall on thw site.

send me the link, we cant guess at height because of the ceiling height and the fact that it is rod hung, rods are usually 6'' -12' long, so if its 12 and on 12'' rod puts it a 6 foot level in the room which should work

Well, that's dumb they dont tell you the actually fixture height! the shades are 6'' tall I would assume the arms about 6'' up, so ya i guess 12" body height 1 12" rod gets you to the top of the fixture and then pick between the 6-12 inch to get the right drop. its on sale you said but does that mean no go backs?

maybe you should call them and ask what the size of the actual frame is.

Can you post the name of the one with shades and the website. I can research it more on height. But I think it can work. It is more “transitional” because the arms are traditional but the shape and cool shades update it to more modern or “transitional” look. I think it would be great from all angles.

if it's 50" that only leaves 9" on each side of my table. that's not too big?

Ok just read installation instructions. It is linear not round. It comes with several posts you stack up for desired height so it will work for your configuration. White shades are best with black or darker metal.

I was just thinking about that, my thought process is its very airy fixture so its not like it would be clunky, but maybe we need something like this in about 36" the table is 48 wide right so technically you could sit between 24-36 somewhere and be safe. this is linear so the depth isnt an issue.

table is 68 with leaf, which will be in likely the whole time.

i think something smaller would be great, but i really like the light and cannot find anythjng similar. i searched for an hour last night.

The bellacor one you posted could work, you could add nice shades to it to mimic the other one.

Flo I looked at all the specs, about the only discerning thing relating to the actual body of the fixtrue is that the shades are 6'' tall. lol.

I like it I think you should find out if you can return it since its on sale

buuuut is it too big? only 9" on each side of table?

I can return it but dont get shipping or "processing fees" back...whatever those are. If the width is ok to be that wide i will call and ask how much processing fees are

call 'em lol. see if you cant find more info on the body size as well but i really think this could be a show stopper

Its supposed to be a bit big since its linear you kinda need the volume with out the weight.

return fees would be from $17-$40 depending on shio method.

Flo found that the poles were in segments so we could make it the desired height.

Yes they are almost always in segments, I mean I can adapt about anything with a loop and chain too but I really think you would end up using 1 6'' and 1 12 '' rod

I'd rather have a 40$ hiccup than a 250$ one lol.

I think you will like it and because the end arms curve up and the bottom of fixture will be approximately 30” above top of table and the shades sit even higher I think it will fit nicely.

After being ready to buy the light, the total was $350 because the store still charges shipping! and $60 no less! I just cant spend that much.
so.....what does everyone think of this one? it is 37" wide, 24" high. it isn't linear.

You can use that I would probably prefer the chain anyway as you can get the height just right this way. and you can always change out the shades to fit your style/color what have you.

will it look ok from both directions? Being 36" wide it will be 75% of the width of the table one way and about 45% the other way. thank you!

Yes I believe it will.

Is this light....transitional or traditional or modern? Trying to learn :)
Remind me - rectangular light over oval table a no go?

I don't like the rectangle for over oval. Either do oval or round. I don't like "post type" fixtures either. Chain style much easier to hang properly. That particular light I would consider "transitional" The straight/open lines lean modern, but the cage style is traditional, so a mix of both styles makes it "transitional". In other words, "transitional" is a little of each style. You have to watch the width and length of a rectangular one as well, whereas a round you only have to watch height and keep width (round size) 18-24" smaller than the width of your table. So if your table is 60" wide, then you can go as wide as 36" and with your 8' ceiling (if I recall right) means the height should be 18'-24" only. Hard to find a round that big and only 24" high, but not impossible.

The Goin above will work. No problem. I like the style too, it is also "transitional" which works well with what you have going on.

Thanks all! Gonna give the goin one a try and wrap this project up LOL.

ps that fixture is transitional. the rectangle one you asked about.

UPDATE! Chandelier and table all here. Thoughts? where to put my (dying :( ) plants? yay or nay to corner cabinet?
Yes loght is off center....will be fixing.

Looks good but wish it was about 3” lower. I like the corner cabinet. I like the chair placement. The wood and height of corner cabinet balances the other wood arch trim. Just don’t overload the shelves with too many objects. Nothing on top after Christmas. But looking good. A pretty arrangement on table will be finishing touch.

Flo Mangan Thanks! I must have mis-read before - I put the chandelier at 24" high. should it be 24" from the top of table?

The corner cabinet will get cleaner as soon as we get our buffet. No clutter! I do have a different spot for it though, so if it doesn't look GOOD there, then I would move it. I can also take off the doors easily to make it a bit more open if that helps.

Thanks everyone! I'm SOOOOO glad I didn't impulse buy some chunky wood chandelier ;)

30-33”from top of table to bottom of chandelier. I think you confused the height of chandelier with the distance from top of table. Easy fix if you saved extra wire in junction box and have or can get extra chain??

I like the corner cabinet but I think I would white wash it to help it look a bit more modern.

Flo Mangan - chandelier is 33" from tabletop. 30" from ceiling to bottom. 8' ceilings make it look different maybe?

The corner cabinet could be painted - I actually had it re-stained a more gray/walnut color to match beams (it didn't work that well) but I was thinking of painting it or *something* to help. But again, I'm not attached to it there so it can go and I can get a small something else. Or I could put some shorter plants back there (the tree did NOT like it in the corner...)

Would plants and a picture frame arrangement or corner cabinet look better??

Also - anything goes to the right of the table, to the right of the patio door? Or leave open?

A lot of the time you can adjust the length of the downrod! BUT, for help on this issue, we would recommend checking out our video and article on how to choose the right chandelier for your space! Hope these help! https://youtu.be/vBPNo0JzP70, https://www.build.com/how-to-choose-the-right-size-chandelier/a19228

Probably the angle of photo makes it look higher. The “canned” response from build.com is not accurate. You have a post from chandy but then chain and wire so adjustments are easier. Sounds like you are uncomfortable with corner cabinet. Ideally, a buffet would be great with picture gallery above. Especially if those are photos. Clustering photos makes bigger statement than onesies spread out.

I just spammed both those canned responses lol. This looks fantastic, but I think you need to leave the leaf in. That ill learn ya for cutting the cord lol. (just kidding) I think I looks good. Now figs don't need a lot of direct sun and its too big for the spot it's in, I would put that in the living room where you have the two smaller ones. then bring the smaller ones up near the corner cabinet.

I would take the picture you hung to the right of the dining sliders and stack it under the one next to the corner cabinet, smaller frames look better in groupings, and I think that would be a good balance right there. Plus once you hang curtains on that window the picture will be off.

The picture in the living room by the plants is a tad too high.

Here is a buffet that has both rustic and modern aspects if you want to do a buffet.

that's pretty flo~

But where does it belong in that room, now that the corner cabinet is there? Also could we put an oval rug under the dining table or is that to many rugs..@ Flo....

This is assuming they don’t like corner cabinet. Can’t do both
