Lighting Opinions Wanted

[bunnies]

I'm having trouble deciding between two fixtures for my dining nook. In an open living/kitchen/dining space condo, so I want it to coordinate. WDYT? Thanks!

Option 1



Option 2 (cheaper)




What is already purchased and installed:

Kitchen light:

Hallway areas:



PS - ETA, this is the fixture I'm thinking about for the living room, but haven't pulled the trigger on it yet.

I prefer Option 1; Option 2 is a little busy for my taste. But I think both of them coordinate fine with what you already have.

Can you find a version of Option 1 that doesn't have a chain hang and instead is mounted to the ceiling directly? That chain above the rod coming out of the fixture is odd to me.

Personally - option 1.

However, I bet the patterns that option 2 throw are really pretty and if you'll be using it for entertaining, I like the idea of light patterns.

Option 1 coordinates the best.

I do like the pattern in option 2, but I think it looks a little cheap compared to the other lights.

I would go with option one. I think option two will look cheap.

Option 1. I really like that living room light.

Thanks for the opinions! I was leaning towards #1, as well.

downtoearth - I agree, that part is a little odd. There aren't any pictures that show where it mounts to the ceiling, either.
