Home Decorating Design Dilemma Lighting

Help! Chandelier ideas?

2 years ago

We need to select a dining room chandelier to bring together our modern/Victorian home. The selection of materials throughout the whole house is inspired by nature. The kitchen, which is open to the DR has lots of natural stone with a stormy vibe, the pendants above the island will be irregular blown glass (Arhaus “organic”). Now trying to find the perfect chandelier for over the DR table. Looking - I think - to balance the cooler kitchen with warmer/softer tones/lines. Chandelier needs to hang from round central canopy because of an original medallion in the ceiling. My favorites include the Ricefield pendants, simple brass chandeliers with arches that echo the curve of the window, and chandeliers with ceramic pendants - but we’re having trouble reaching consensus. Would be grateful for others ideas and perspectives.

Such a great house--love the woodwork in the dining room.

I love this one from Visual Comfort. Comes in 3 different finishes:

This one is only offered in aged iron, but that could work in your room:

I like this one too, in the bronze finish:

For sure not those rattan oversized ones. Are you wanting more modern for the space ? It would be nice to see the furniture going in there before advising lighting Which Ricefield pendants ?

Thanks, all. The furniture in the DR is a work in progress. We currently have the West Elm mid century table, and would like to have a set of midcentury chairs (I dream of Moller). Before the renovation we also had a midcentury credenza below the curved window. My current favorites are these below.

Size/shape of your table is a big factor to consider and I’d wait until the chairs are chosen.
