Help with dining table lighting!
Hello! I need to replace my (very) dated light fixture over my dining room table. I want something that will match my style and will be at scale with the room and table. I have an open floor plan, so I don’t want it to look skimpy when you look at it from a distance. My table is 42” wide and 65” long, ceiling height is 7’7”. I was looking at pendant lighting but couldn’t decide between the 12” or 16” (will 22.5” be too high on the 16” fixture)? Or do I go with a linear pendant? Im worried with a linear pendant that it may be too overwhelming and take away from the table.
NOTE: my floors will eventually be a light white oak hardwood. My sideboard will be refinished to be a lighter color and I’m waiting for a Roman shade on the window.

PRO3 years agoNot sure why you are bothering to refinish the floors. They look fine. The room needs drapery panels not Roman shades.
It's extremely important that you position your furnishings correctlyCenter the sideboard on the window.
Center the table under the light fixture.
If you select a round fixture instead,don't select anything less than 24" in diameter and position the fixture 30" above the surface of the table top.

If you like the cage look (like your second link), I would recommend one with a shorter cage height (no more than 12"), as with your ceiling height, it will look like it's crowding the ceiling. It would look better if the length of the downrod was greater than the height of the fixture. In that respect, the option @MIRODEMI offered is great. I also prefer the look of a rod as opposed to a chain (cleaner look). 36"-42" long and 12"-18" wide would be appropriate dimensions for the fixture. The bottom of your fixture should be 30-36" from the top of the table (I prefer 30", but I'm short). Here's a simple diagram to show the scale. Here's a link to one with better dimensions for your space, but it has downlights as opposed to uplights (downlights offer more direct lighting, uplights more ambient).Linear Chandelier
