Do these lights play nice together?

2 years ago

I started a new thread, not sure if I should have added to my last or start fresh? Still working on pendant lights over island and light over table in the same space. I am sensitive to lights and am trying to stay away from clear bulbs, and feel shades often look dated. Also, I’m not sure if I should have black or brushed nickel. Counters are black, cabinet hardware is brushed nickel. I am so thankful for all the help from everyone so far.

    Here’s the space.

    They are both terrific lights, and I think they go well together. But they seem a bit modern for your kitchen, especially the pendants. Your furniture leans traditional/Early American. It makes me think "cast iron." A black or ORB finish on the lights would look more natural in your beautiful kitchen.

    Thank you for your input. I wondered if they were too modern for the space. I’ll keep looking and post some new ideas.

    You might look at Hubbardton Forge. They have a range of styles, all available in several metal finishes. I think you could find something with the cleaner lines you're attracted too, but enough traditional feel to fit in. They aren't a budget line, but Pinterest is often great at suggesting similar styles at different price ranges.

    I will definitely check that out. How about something like this for over the table? I could also just add more pot lights. One over the sink and two above the island.

    Oh, that pendant is great! The linear chandelier is nice too, but I thought you didn't like shades?

    With your woods I like the black open style fixtures. Like these.

    The lines of y these are transitional with a bit of mid to traditional candle look over table. A little more curved lines over island. Nice combo.

    Thanks for the ideas. I’m unsure of the glare from exposed bulbs over the island. I can be sensitive to the glare from bulbs which is why this has taken me so long to choose. There are so many beautiful clear glass fixtures. The pendants I posted have a shade inside, love that. Would those pendants work with either of the above linear chandeliers?

    I imagine the exposed bulbs that face up don’t have as much glare?

    I use frosted LEDs in lower range and glare is not a problem. Might want to visit lighting showroom and ask them to show your frosted bulbs in open chandeliers.

    Good idea. Thank you for the suggestion.

    Thoughts on these together in the same space?

    I think they work nicely. I prefer the one right above this post (although I do love the other chandelier). For me, I have grown to prefer not having much clear glass as it can be annoying and show streaks ( and of course dust) but other than that- I think the 2nd one is my choice.


    Scrolling back up I also do like the one you posted with the 4 lights where you wrote-

    Thank you. I actually just purchased this linear chandelier for over the table, it’s the only one my hubby and I agreed on. He prefers more modem and I typically prefer more traditional. I am undecided if I want more pot lights or pendants for the island

    I think all your options were lovely. I do love that chandelier and I had even considered it for my home but size is not right for me. It's a great blend of modern and traditional.

    It's a beauty and I'm sure you will be thrilled with it.
