9 years ago- 9 years agoHere is a photo of the coffe table i bought for the room but now I am thinkng a squarenor round table would look better
- PRO9 years agook, so here's the deal, the fan you have with the light probably hangs down 20" or so already, so if you want to to hang into the room be careful of the scale. this will hang over the coffee table, so you will want it to be sized correctly as not to be bulky in the room but not too small. have you done any measuring? how tall are the ceilings? im not big on the sphere fixtures, i dont think they will hold their style long. drum shade with a fixture inside like whisper posted would be best, any one of the three except the globe.
9 years ago- 9 years agoOk i did not realize thatbi need to be aware of the scale..i thought since there is room for celing fan..there would be room for a bigger chandelier..i really like this one by Elk lighting but i am wondering if it is too big.
- 9 years agoAlso i have this chandelier in my dining room that does not look good there..could i bring it in this room
- PRO9 years agoif i had a larger image file i could. of the room i mean... is this any better.. its hard to scale it to the room and make it visible with these fixture types. maybe groveraxel can

PRO9 years agolast modified: 9 years ago@azebhem the starburst you posted is 36" in diameter with a minimum height of 19" (it's also out of stock until March on next year!) There is also a 26" with a minimum height of 17" in the same series and a bit less expensive.
26" Starburst Chandelier · More Info
If you like the Starburst, the Sonne series also has similar characteristics and is 40" in diameter with a minimum install height of 20"

PRO9 years ago- PRO9 years agooh you have pendants right there...so glad to see this picture! are they a rootbeer color or a red color? and why does the end one look so much lower? large bare wall, three long big canvas prints.... what a bout a bent wood fixture...
- 9 years agoSorry it took so long. I don't know that either of these renderings exactly fit your aesthetic, but it's a difficult wall. The first may be too busy. The second has a live edge walnut floating shelf that would require the loveseat to float off the wall the width of the shelf. Don't know that you have enough space there.

- PRO9 years agoNot a bad thought but In this case probably so IMHO. If they were in a cluster, different heights could work.

- 9 years agoInteresting choices. Not the direction I thought you were going at all. Live with the image awhile before you decide.

PRO9 years agoLook at the Crystorama line of lighting. I see several light fixtures that will work. You should choose something with soft light and no glare. A 1 to 2 foot drop will give you the proper max height from the finished floor. The height of the fixture and ceiling height are factors as well. Rule of thumb unless it is a dining table it is hung over....7 1/2 feet AFF max drop. Libby Langdon has a new lighting line made by this company.

PRO9 years agolast modified: 9 years agoI would go with a brown, single chord, modern chandelier with circular lines as I show in the rendering. This room has a lot of very hard straight lines, which I like, and the circular shape of the lamp would only accentuate them. Rattan would be cool because it would bring a sleek feel but would also bring a cozy charm. I’d keep it centered on where I presume you will put a coffee table. I wouldn’t let it drop too far down so you don’t block the view of the TV. You wouldn’t have to worry about people hitting their heads because, once again, the presumed coffee table would be there. If you don’t have the coffee table picked out I would go with a dark chocolate color with straight edges, preferably something natural like maybe a very rustic table. I would then add some brownish pillows…all different shades of brown and perhaps a few blue ones in there for good measure. If you have room on the left wall i would go with a painting that has blues, tans, and browns to tie it all together. Good luck! :)

- PRO9 years agolove that! does it fit between the windows? if you go gray i think you should go silver with the fixture black or white hahaa. i think that console might be too long, but i like the color!
- 9 years agoNo. Your room is warm, and that media cabinet is cool. It becomes a discordant element in the space.
