Hello, We've just purchased a 47 cm wide Gubi Semi Pendant Light to go over our Saarinen dining table. The table measures 180 x 100 and I am wondering if this light looks too small and I should exchange it for the 60cm one. All comments welcome. Thanks.

Comments (19)I very much agree with what Beverly said regarding adding shutters to your home. You don't have the space on either side of the windows to accommodate appropriately sized shutters. Awnings would definitely be an option. Since you're in the Caribbean, you can add color by using a brightly striped awning. One shutter option that you could consider would be a Bahama Shutter. Since they mount at the top of the windows, you wouldn't have any problem adding them if you like....See More

7 years agoBrilliant, thank you both. I'm a little concerned - RED Interior Design - that three may distract from our antique lights over the fireplace. I've attached a little more of the room for you to see. There's a lot going on, what with the kitchen light in the background
and the funky
blue tiles around the fire! Should I just stick with one larger one?moiraford
