Hi Michelle,

We'd love to help you plan this out.

Can you let us know what style your Dining Room is? Do you have any photos?

We suggest finding out what style your room already is, or is going to be, before going further.

After you identify the style, let us know your ceiling height so we'll be able to advise on the best size of fixture.

You mentioned you work and play music in the space. Would your dining room benefit most with a fixture that has exposed bulbs or sheer shade(s)?

If your dining room is a large enough space, it could support multiple layers of light, like wall sconces and artwork lights.

Let us know, happy designing!

Here is a picture. I would like to add wainscoting. However, the table is temporary and thr clock and chandelier are not my taste. The clock was grandparents'and thr chandelier was here when I moved in.

I'm not sure how high the ceiling is.

I'm tried uploading other pictures but I'm not able to get them to go through, for some reason.

Hi Michelle,

That is no problem. From the photo you provided, we are able to suggest the following chandelier choices...

Chandeliers won't help with lighting for piano.

For the piano, there is only 1 type of light that is necessary for proper use:

Then you can continue lighting the general room from a center hanging fixture for the temporary office and future return to a dining room.

Michelle, Have you considered wall sconces or pin-up sconces?

Either you can hire an electrician to create hardwire junction boxes to better provide lighting in your room, upgrade existing scones to provide ample light, or utilize a pin-up sconce that can be mounted on drywall and plugged into a socket.

We have a range of pin-ups that are also articulating allowing full flexibility of motion to fulfill any task lighting need: https://goldenlightingoutlet.com/search?q=a1w
