New/painted chandelier?

2 years ago

We just painted the dining room and love the color! Rug is staying and have gold velvet curtains ❤️
Need help with lighting!
Since the black piece is going in kitchen I was trying to tie in dining room somewhat.
Should I keep the gold chandelier? New set antique gold!
Tried painting sconces but don’t like them. Also wanted to throw in a couple white/gold upholstered chairs!
Any help would be appreciated! Ty

    Please don’t look at the mess. We are at work in progress! This is a view of the whole room.

    Your furniture is so traditional, be careful about going too modern with the light fixtures. I think you could stand to change up the sconces, but I think what Beverly showed is too modern. You could choose something black to match the fixture you're putting in the kitchen. Or really splash out with something unique and bedazzled.

    I don't think the upholstered chairs belong. can you put them in another room?

    agree... no table cloth until you are ready to set the table for a meal.

    Agree! But what should I replaced in with? Also, I don’t usually use a tablecloth, but have it down while my husband’s working in that room

    @kandrewpa great suggestions! Could you please look at the video I sent after I already posted the pic? My husband is still working that room that is why the drapes aren’t hung

    Also, replacing the Brazilian cherry floor with grand Petronas by Cortec!

    Gold velvet drapes will be going up on each side of the window

    Thank you for the desperately needed extra photos. Some thoughts:

    --Keep the gold chandelier since it relates to your very traditional style. Use the money you save to get a new rug in golds, greens to echo your art work if you're keeping it. This palette is perfect for your wall paint, art work, warm wood dining pieces, and current flooring, which you shouldn't change.

    --Why are you replacing the beautiful floors? You have traditional furnishings. The sideboard harmonizes well with the current floors.

    --Remove the wing chairs from the space--just too much unless they're temporarily placed there.

    I don't think the tapestry over the sideboard works in this room. Consider a mirror over the sideboard if a mirror doesn't cause too much glare in the room.


    The drapery panels to bring out the tan/gold of the area rug.

    More traditional chandelier s would be better.

    @housegal200 great suggestions!
    We are putting new flooring in the entire downstairs. The Brazilian cherry will not work in the kitchen because we have cherry cabinets which I do not want to paint- and that will be just way too much cherry!

    Is that a tapestry over sideboard? I couldn't get a good look. If you're keeping it, then echo the palette with a rug. If not, then try a new art work in golds and warm wood or a gold framed mirror that reflects light from the window across from that wall and your gold chandelier.

    Wood floor in the kitchen only works for some home owners. For many it's a water accident waiting to happen.

    We are replacing floors with grande petronas by Coretec which is waterproof! It is going in dining room, den, foyer, powder room, kitchen and family room.
