Light Fixture Suggestions

5 years ago

Hello everyone I am wondering what light fixture do you think would work best with this space? We plan on putting a dining table here (West Elm Emerson). Also, we don’t want to necessarily block the view of the fireplace. Would love to hear your thoughts! Thanks!!

    You might wish to use a linear light fixture over the table. As a DIYer you could even make one yourself by using two wood pieces with a LED strip sandwiched between them. Use one that allows uplighting & downlighting to be controlled separately or one that includes 'tunable' light (see Glide fixtures at https://www.pureedgelighting.com/all/products/suspension as examples).

    As it appears this space may not have any natural light, you might want to try something like a 'skylight' effect (see https://lightglasslighting.com/) above the table (or create a 'window' effect on any wall).

    Thanks. I like the idea of a skylight but seems like it would be expensive to install and the cutting out of ceiling joists. But worth checking out

    Some variation of a sputnik chandelier would be great-- in gold, black or a combo.

    I think any of these would work.





    You could prob do something like these. they fit w/your style and are very low key looking.





    Or, depending on how large the table is, a single glass globe,


    or something w/texture

    Yeah I think I’ll do the Sputnik. Do you think it would flow with the other lighting in my home?

    Before you select lighting, plot table out with blue painter tape on your floor. It looks pretty tight. I tried putting the West Elm Emmerson table into that side of your gorgeous room. Love what you have done so far. If you are able to lay out table, here is one table that I thought was quite interesting for your room. I also found these unique lights that could attach to wall and hang over table. Just interesting alternative way to go.

    A glass table will keep space open and allow views of fireplace. The West Elm table looks too farmhouse in style to me. Your TV and fireplace wall along with furnishings are contemporary and beautiful. Keep that look going.

    Thanks for the feedback. I figured since we already have the table, we can use it for now. But perhaps mixing old and new can look good

    Oh you already have the table? I thought I read you were thinking about the West Elm table. Sorry. Perhaps you could sell that one and get new one? I think a less bulky one would fit better but I surely understand using what you have. How often will this table be used?

  • 5 years ago

    can you put the table in the spot so we can see it?


    also, are you going to hang any of that artwork on the wall, or fireplace?

  • 5 years ago

    Thanks! Unfortunately the table is upstairs on our first floor so I can’t bring it down without some help. It wouldn’t be used much. I wasn’t sure how to decorate the wall yet either so I just leaned some art that I had for now. I was going to put an upholstered ottoman as well in front of the couch with this pattern since I’m a fan of Studio McGee/Amber Interiors decor

    Do you think the large mobile chandelier, would work in the space? I like the shape of the longer one better. But would like to hear your thoughts

  • 5 years ago

    Ceiling - 8' or higher?

    other sputniks are more horizontal -- that is the word I wanted - a more compact sputnik would seem better, and not dangling down too much.

  • 5 years ago

    Ok thanks they are 9 feet ceilings

    Looks like West Elm has two sizes: 29 or 55”

    I like this one because your space needs more presence for the lighting. With 9’ ceiling you would need extra post extension. I like these globes. Less cleaning issues than clear.

    Your space thus far is very linear, with not a curve in sight. Would you please post a pic of the table you have for the space, and chairs if you have those as well? Thanks

    Is this bulb overload?

    Sofa is grey. Walls of the room show 'shapes' and horizontal line - contemporary..?

    Will room be quite straight lined and sleek glossy items... maybe you want shapes like one that you posted, and others did.

    Or do you want dining light for softness, or gleam, curious.

    If you don’t think you will use the table much, and you don’t need it upstairs, try selling it. It’s a nice table, but it feels to big and bulky fir your space. A drop leaf table might be a better choice with art above it and art light above it. I like the low linear look of your built in with your leaning art. It looks great and helps keep that visual linear line going on that wall. Try a large piece on that end wall. Something 5’ high by 36” wide roughly. I wouldn’t add more bulky ottoman to sectional area. The smaller ones move around easier and keep a more open look.
