It looks too high to me. How high are your ceilings?

10 foot ceilings

What an amazing fixture. I do agree with Yvonne that it is too high up to have the impact it should. Is it possible to suspend it either from a down rod or a cable? How long is the loveseat? I could see a much larger piece of art above it that is hung with the bottom just about 4-6" from the top of the loveseat.

My initial thought was the same as Yvonne's above comment - it seems to be too high.

Will you add a view of the nook from the end of the island towards the nook? Also, please add another photo from the same angle as the first photo - just be farther back.

Sorry girls, but my ceiling is actually 11’!!
My mom has the catalog from the early 90’s so I’ll ask her. But I don’t think so.

And Katin….that is a tv hanging above the loveseat. I love the fixture and would somehow like to bring it all together 🤷🏻‍♀️

I love the vintage light. It is a keeper, for sure.

The light looks fine. It doesn’t matter if your ceiling is high.

I grew up in and have lived in many places with high ceilings, including 1940 townhouse where I live now. In my life, there has never been the thought that the light fixture has to be right on top of my head for it to have impact. And, in fact, I always prefer fixtures that hang higher/can be hung higher.

Anyway- enough about me.

I really like your banquette seating idea. Here is one view for you with that idea:

The color on the bench was not my choice- although I love it. I had specified the high back, tufting, and velvet. I let AI choose the color on the bench and pillow. I suspect AI loves the red on the fixture. On the pillow: I had specified lumbar, vintage, and tassels. For the table: I specified small round banquette table, linen table cloth, and low-cut white roses and orchids. I also specified to reframe your art in a larger frame with bigger mat.

So the idea is- there are many ways you can do it- this is just one view.

I really love the color of the banquette. Such a pop of color. Plus, they do make tv frames….something I entirely overlooked.
My mom advised me not to try to change the chandelier. It probably would decrease the value.
A big thank you! ☺️

You’re welcome. I really love the banquette color, too. I think we posted at the same time- so you may not have seen my follow-up comment yet. I explained how it all came about.

Definitely do not alter the fixture. No need to. It’s gorgeous- and works fine, as is.✨

Dani_m08 here are the photos you requested. Sorry, I missed your message at first. Also, don’t pay any attention to the grill. We are having our deck washed tomorrow!

Here you go! Dani_m08

Dani_m08. The space is 10’ 5” by 6’ (to end of rug)

Just chiming in to say I love ❤️ it, I would use it no matter what.

Haha, just noticed, your kitchen looks like mine ( different configuration however )

That space needs color to make that light sing . If you must have the TV there then make it bigger for sure . I have a few Artemide lights and your Mom is right they will lose value very quickly with any "fix". I would paint one wall a color from the light and use the other colors for pillows , a fun rug all to enhance those lights . My lights all have bulbs that are like head light bulbs for cars they last forever but get hot I found LED replacements for some of mine .I have 4 of these they telescope up and down. Many Artemide ceiling lights are hung close to the ceiling not sure why it does draw your eye up for sure.

I like the idea of adding color to the wall. And, of course, I won’t “fix” the light! Thanks for your input.

EVR - I assume that the light fixture is centered in the 10’ 5” by 6’ nook. I think that adding color to wall(s) as @Patricia Colwell Consulting has suggested is a good idea.

For Artemide fixtures in polished aluminum or black, use deep, moody wall colors like slate gray, navy blue, or forest green. The dark backdrop creates a gallery effect, allowing the sleek metal lines to pop.

All of the lighting shown in the below photos are made by Artemide:

This floor lamp's unusual lines have much more impact against the dark wall than if the wall was white or a light off white/tan/etc.

This Artemide wall light fixture is enhanced by wall color:

The color of the wainscoting below makes the Artemide table lamps stand out more:

Your ceilings are high at 11 feet. Sometimes painting the ceiling a dramatic contrasting color will draw the eye up to a light fixture (like the Artemide one you've installed) when the ceiling is high.

Hang extra-large vertical artwork to anchor the lower space while directing focus toward the ceiling.

Hang curtains several inches above the window frame or all the way to the ceiling. This elongates the walls and pulls the gaze toward the upper limits of the room.

Combine your Artemide overhead light with eye-level and lower-level fixtures (e.g., tall floor lamps, sconces, and table lamps). This creates a gradient of light that forces the eye to scan the entire height of the room.

Using colors in the light fixture for throws/pillows/rugs/etc. will also be a nice way to enhance your vintage light fixture.

i certainly agree with dani_moe. Add color to the room drawing out the colors in the light fixture
one thing I dont understand is why theres a tv above the sofa?? weird place when all the seating is facing in opposite direction of the tv??!?!!

Dani_m08, marhop: the light fixture is in the center of the nook. Where the window is there is also a sliding patio door, then another window. Opposite of the nook is the kitchen, then it flows into the dining and living area. The living area has a long wall which I painted SW peppercorn.
The reason for the tv above the settee is because of the kitchen. My husband and I will have the tv on while preparing dinner.
Do you have any suggestions on paint color for the wall, maybe just behind the settee? As you can see, the wet bar is a deep blue so I would have no idea what color to add to the wall. HELP!!

Everything looks lovely in your space! The only distraction that I see if the booze on display. I would have doors made to cover it up.

For the Frame TV, don't use the "mat" option when displaying the digital art, just set the art to fill the whole frame. I used an aftermarket 3" frame from Deco TV Frames on my 75" TV.
