That would be a nice option to have a light above the ottoman.

I would not add any pendant lighting to this interior. I think there are too many horizontal shapes already. If anything it would be a "task light" which would allow the user to read while sitting in the sofa. .

I had the couch in the center of the room by the fireplace, but it really made the room feel smaller and when you walked into the house, you walked into the back of the couch.

I had thought about an arc lamp too! I really love the,. I ended up purchasing one but had to return it because it hung too low, and didn't sit right for the space.

your space already has enough pot lights, wall and table lamp in this area, adding a recessed lighting above your ottoman will look too much/not necessary at all...also it wont serve any purpose- you have enough lighting nor as a decorative piece.

I would not hang one over the ottoman ... I'd like to see one over the table though.

I like your space.
very nice

I tried over the table, but unfortunately it would cost a ton of money to do the electric wiring and its already wired over the ottoman..

Thanks Anne!

Although a semi-flush chandelier would look nice, it would restrict the ability to rearrange the room too much.

What is the lamp on by the love seat? It seems too low and looks out of proportion right there. I was going to suggest putting a lamp on the other end of the couch, but see a pet bed there. Hmmm.......I also think there needs to be something between the two pieces. Could you use a taller table there? If not, I would get rid of the lamp since there is light on the wall right there. THEN I would walk away, knowing the rooms look great!

Good to know, megan.

I think you could use some larger scale (tall) table or floor lamps to help anchor the seating area and give you more varied task lighting.

If you want to add something. There is a register company that makes really nice vents. They make one that matches your ottoman. I think it looks great. http://www.pacificregisterco.com/customMetalRegisters.html this one is made by them. If you type in http://brookegiannetti.typepad.com/velvet_and_linen/2010/03/what-weve-learned-vent-grillesregisters.html you can see some of the changed register in real rooms it may be just want you are looking for to fill what you you seem to feel is missing with a light. If you look at the before and after it adds a touch of something to a room. The vent register is probably what is bothering you. You have plenty of light. The register is plain and distracting. Just a thought.

I really don't think you need a light fixture over the ottoman. Abbyjean is right about the lamp in the corner. The table it's on needs to be quite a bit higher or stack some large thick books under the lamp to raise it up.

This is the lamp that is on the end table in the corner.... I would put it on the other end of the couch but there isn't enough room for it there unless I rearranged other things. I'm open to it too!

You're on the verge of getting too much going on. Your place looks nice--know when to stop.

That lamp is beautiful! You do have good taste!! Do you have some books or something you could put it on to raise it up?

it looks nice, but just raising it won't help the scale. The lamp needs to be twice as large, IMO.

I really like the lamp and yes could get books or something like it to raise it up. Thought about getting a different table too eventually that would be a bit taller.

A nice iron ceiling fan

No but i would add a lamp, an arch one

Large round (to mirror the mirror shape) but airy, like those from RH.
Nice space!

I don't think you need a chandelier over the seating area but I would replace the low lamp in the corner with a larger scaled taller 30" high table lamp. I recommend you add a large area rug under the dining table as the table needs to be grounded. Not sure the table needs to be set at an angle. It looks OK at an angle form the kitchen but not as well from the seating area. The solution might just be an area rug. The tall chair in front of the French doors does not seem to make sense. Is there another place in the house you could use it?
Consider painting all the doors satin black and leaving the trim white as is.

While the room is gorgeous as is, I could see a smart looking chandelier overhead. Nothing over the top, but something that allows the natural light to flow through the space and not take away from those amazing window views!
