Probably around 30" but you could go as large as 38"

Your space is spectacular! It has its own life and energy, which is something you rarely see on this forum.

@katinparadise

What a huge compliment! I really appreciate it. I love decorating my space and experimenting with out of the box designs and decor. Thank you.

What do you think of either of these three setups? A, B, or C? Do you have a thumbs up for any of these or are they all thumbs down?

White metal would look fantastic.

You're welcome! It's so nice to see a space that doesn't follow the "standard decorating formula" yet all works so well together.

While I like them all, I wonder if you shouldn't look for something a little more "artsy" and funky to complement the space. What's your budget for the fixture?

@Jodie White Designs

I like that! I will play with a photoshop of that design. Thank you.

@katinparadise

Thanks! I try not to follow any design rules. I make up my own :-) Budget. Sigh..... Wouldn't it be so nice to not have to live within budgets? That is simply not my reality. $500. Anyway, I'm all over funk. I would love for my home to ooze it. LOL

I love your home- beautiful furniture and gorgeous art.

I agree with getting a flush mount fixture and then some lamps- floor lamp and a could table lamps, all on dimmers. The table lamps could be globes like this

https://lekkerhome.com/collections/lighting-table-lamps/products/jwda-concrete-lamp

It’s small & has a beautiful glow.

I also recommend a good reading light bc I can imagine sitting in front of that fire curled up with a book.

Special request- please post more photos of your home! It’s awesome.

Thank you @Sarah.

Here are a few more photos of my downstairs space.

What about something like this?

Like this too.

@Lisa

I really love some of the styles on the website you shared. Unfortunately, their pieces are waaaay outside my budget. Sigh.....

@Gargamel

I like that organic shape kind of look. I will explore more of that style.

@Theresa Janssen

Thanks for the compliment! I had not given much thought about that style. The ones you posted are also similar to the one Gargamel posted. I will photoshop a couple of them. I think I am tired of white. The fixture that is currently there is a white ceiling fan.

@katinparadise

So you are thinking long pendant like pieces? I had considered this one.

What do you think of these two? I don't like the color of the second one. I haven't been able to find it in a different color.

i like the glass bubbles an the pic on the right.

@katinparadise

When you say the one on the right, do you mean this one?

that's the one I like! love it

Yes-I love that one!

Hmm, after looking a little more closely at the description, I am not sure that light will work. I think it might be more for show than actual light. Not sure.

darn it... not sure what you think of these, but a few more ideas...hopefully not duplicating

If the coffee table is "centered" beneath your chosen location for your living room's overhead light, choose a light that will not be the focus of attention but will serve the purpose for which you intend -- provide light. And, if you would like air circulation, perhaps a ceiling fan with a light -- not necessarily a traditional ceiling fan.

@Theresa Janssen

I am so drawn to globe lights. I don't know if those are wide enough.

@Jinx

How did I forget about CB2? I see a few there that I like.

@kulrn

I love new players! I am so, so drawn to the shape of the Dakota chandelier that you posted. I love this one but....... it is not Prime and it is coming from China and the seller only has a rating of 67% and blah blah blah.

@suezbell

The light will be centered over the coffee table, in same position as where the ceiling fan is currently. I am not interested in another ceiling fan. I have a really hard time selecting items that are not the focus of attention. It is just how my eye works! I want a light that illuminates the room but style is also very high on my list.

Is this one just too much? It is from CB2, thanks to Jinx ;-)

Love it!

If you want your light to be a focal point, don't have the light bulbs in it be the focal point -- don't have them visible at all. Y

I like this one:

Globe lights are my least favorite, however I do like these for your space.

@everdebz

I do like that one. I guess I am all over the board in terms of what style I'm interested in.

I popped into CB2 today and purchased the last fixture I posted. The one that looks like a bundle of balloons. I am going to try to install it in the morning and see how it looks. I was hoping that they would have a display model on the sales floor but they didn't.

I will post photos once the installation is complete.

Can't wait to see how it looks... fun.

Keep me cool, and look pretty cool - has LED ring.

Many of us like a variety of styles. For this room, I'll ask what feeling you want: creative imagining / cheerful friendly / serious traditional / etc.

Because room has eclectic variety, might be easier to pick an item you want highlighted, that you want 'strenghtened' by one other item's repeat of a color, or wood framing, or pattern.

Is blue "you" in the room? or the red [small but for talking about]

And - if you have immediate plans to change anything, do that, and evaluate lighting again.

If you used photoshop, each light could be placed, and you could 'like and dislike' for each light.

Is this frosty lite light something that you'd prefer to 'break up' many angles in room?

I got the light fixture up. What do you think? I am not certain I have the globes in the correct locations. Hard to tell from the instructions. I am going to take a closer look at a photograph of the fixture online and make sure.

Nice!!!!

Very nice!

I confess, I didn't want to like ANY fixture because it's so sleekly perfect without one, but those white bubbly globes? Oh, HECK yeah. Love, love.

@Jodie White Designs, @Gargamel, @IdaClaire

Thanks! My kid helped me install it today. When he was a toddler we had huge, ott birthday parties with tons of balloons. He has outgrown those now, thank God, but I told him we can still be reminded of those days because it looks like a big bundle of balloons floating in the air.

Next up is clearing everything off the piano and adding a tall lamp.

That looks great!

Perfect choice!

Perfection! Great job!

it looks great!
