Until you know the size of the new table the size of the new fixture is difficult to determine

Hi Amie, what size is the current table?

53” diameter

What about a simple drum shade light fitting in cream?

I was Les I g towards that but didn’t know if that would seem to repetitive

Agreed. The island pendants are way too large for the island. They’ll make any fixture over the table look out of scale.

These giant cones were trending back in 2015. The trend didn't last long.

I had saved a couple of photos in my Ideabooks to show the trend.

Both of these are from 2015!

If planning on a new dining set in the not too distant future, I’d hold off replacing for now as the table should dictate its size and style.

What was glaring to me was not only its size, but its placement. If open to having the electrical moved (placing a plate over or repair ceiling), it would be a priority for me. No matter what you choose will never be flattering.

If you want to complement the island’s lighting:

I like the cream drum idea, and I wouldn't worry about it feeling repetitive — it will read as intentional and cohesive with your pendants. To keep it from being too matchy, I'd just go a bit smaller in scale than the island pendants and pick a shade with a subtle texture. That way the nook feels connected to the kitchen without competing with it.

Thank you all for your comments - they are immensely useful. I do like the drum idea Robert.

If you go with the drum shade i'll check how it looks from a seated position before buying. Some look soft from the side but leave the bulbs visible underneath. A bottom diffuser would be something id look for over the nook table, especially if you spend time there reading or chatting after meals.

Very good point - thanks for your feedback on that
