Definitely an update. Of the ones you show I like the first best

I like the style you are going forward but none of those seem big enough for the dining table. What size is your table?

I would put recessed lights into your kitchen area, which will be much more functional and give you the bright light you need. I think you need a wider option above your dining table.

Table is 36x60

first light is what I’m thinking for above table

i need another light to replace ceiling light in kitchen area

This light is 26” height and 17” wide is it the right size? Will this style look good in my space. Does anyone have suggestions on another style that would look better?

I like the lantern style but what about the linear shape? I think you need something bigger.

The plaster ceiling has a circular design above the light...I wasn’t sure if a rectangular light would look right.

Probably stick to round. Your right

Ok I think you’re right regarding round... let me look for some rules around sizing so I can give you correct info

would you like something like this at all?

Msteezzy....I do like that light but not for my space ....there isn’t anything modern looking in my home

some inspiration pics of different lights. The first seems like it would work in a traditional home. Last one is similar to the one you posted

First 2 do look better...third one looks too small

this one is kind of a modern look on a traditional chandelier and is bigger

Sphere light still looks too modern and my table is really casual looking

if I did something like the second option what could I do to replace current kitchen ceiling light?

Would something like this flush lantern work?

Also would these options without the globes add better light

I actually had the one you posted from Amazon in a formal modern dining room. I plan to purchase it again for my causal eat in kitchen. I think elements can be mixed for the most part to fit many styles.
I like it with your table. I think for the kitchen any of the flush mounts you posted will go. I’m hoping someone with photoshop skills stops by your thread so you can see how they look in place

I also really like the dining chandelier from Amazon ( Laluz) and the price is awesome.

I do love the lantern looks and have it over my island ( I have 2) but I am not sure I would like it over a kitchen table.

I do think the lantern one you showed for the flush mount is nice as long as there is enough clearance if it 's in a walkway. I think that and the amazon one "play nicely".

I love that Amazon chandelier that looks like candles. I'm not a fan of lantern style for over the table. Also, your lighting quality is not the fixture, it's the brightness of the bulbs, the "temperature." You want something in the 3000-4000k range. Do you have it wired to be dimmable? If not, I'd get bright bulbs and plan to dim them if you need to.

I wish I had before and after pics of my kitchen after I traded the awful bulbs out the day we moved in. My cabinets are similar in color to yours. IT WAS AMAZING. So number one, get brighter bulbs, then decide on a pretty fixture.

Yes, you will definitely need a dimmer for that chandelier.

Thank you for all the great suggestions.

im leaning towards the Amazon one

so it is 26” is that the right size for my 36 table?

Hoping someone can comment on the dimensions for you. Width wise sounds great to me but curious what the experts will say.

I ordered the laluz chandelier from amazion. should I buy the regular tip or the flame tip? Also the ones I’m finding have the orange filament, im thinking I would prefer clear ones. Any help on this would be appreciated. Shouldn’t be so hard to decide on a lightbulb but I guess for me I’m having issues🤨

Get the regular tip. You might consider led.

Thank you ....yes I’m looking for the dimmable led

I’d get the regular tip too. Make sure you post after pics 😊

And don't feel bad about having a hard time deciding... There are quite a few of us!! (but I do love that chandelier)

Thanks again for everyone’s help. I will post after pics when it’s done....hoping to have lights installed this weekend. I’m having Serenity quartz countertops installed on Monday. Yes, I am actually spending all that money on this outdated oak kitchen ....I think it will be a big improvement from the boring laminant Will post pics after the install. Next project will be under cabinet lighting and backsplash....more decisions.

I hope you've considered changing the island top to a simple "L" shape without the angle. It would really help with countertop space.

I did consider that idea, I prefer the angle. Corners will be slightly rounded but other than that the angle will still be there.

Got my lights installed. Added a third one above sink to replace fluorescent bar light. i kept hubby busy past weekend. Countertops are in and I love them. Pictures aren’t great but it really is pretty. under cabinet lighting and backsplash is next. Will start another discussion on that. I’m finding backsplash isn’t easy to pick out.

I had a hard time getting pics to send ....Tap on the picture to see whole picture btw...I did get brighter lights. Pictures still look darker than it really is.

Looks awesome!!

Awe thank you!

Nice!!

I love that Laluz chandelier. It's so updated and clean looking. Enjoy!!!
