Dining Lighting Question

[bunnies]

Would a rectangular light over a circular table look weird?


Light in question (34 inches wide):



Table in question (48 inches wide not expanded, and 63" expanded oval): 




Thank you for sharing your opinion. :-)

[litasail]

Yes, I think that would look odd.

[aprilsails]

I do not like that combination. I do think it would look odd.

[penguingrrl]

That combo would look weird. Not because of the shapes mismatching but because they’re completely different styles.

[bunnies]

Thank you! Does this make more sense?






If no, does anyone have a rec for a light over the table for under $200-ish?

[mrsukyankee]

I can't see the table for some reason. What sort of style is it?

[artichokie]

Love the table.  Very coastal.  Definitely go with with round or soft edges.  Square or rectangle will not go.

I've recently changed 5 of mine, and I'm super particular.

Do you like any of these?  Can't figure out how to make these linkable.

I actually kind of like the second one you posted, but can’t tell what the scale would be relative to the table.

I’m a fan of mixing styles though, and a lot of people aren’t.

[sandandsea]

I really like the second one and as long as it’s not too big or small I think it works nicely as a modern farmhouse chic type of vibe.

It's this one, in "driftwood/limestone," the smaller size.

The first and third link worked - I like the third one. :-D

The square cage light is a 20x20 inch square and the table is 48 inch diameter round (or 63 inch oval when extended). I'm liking the second one, too! :-D


ETA: It will usually be set as the 48" diameter size since it's only my husband and myself. I wanted the extendable option for when family visits.

Now I know why I couldn't see it - darn data protection in the EU.

Did the link work? It's the Hart reclaimed wood table from Pottery Barn.

Yes, but I can't view it due to being in England (we can't always see US sites). Oh, well.

ETA: I’m sorry I didn’t notice the price limit. There are all below $400 so they could possibly be found on sale or price matched elsewhere.

I will be honest that I’m still not a fan of the second light with the table. I feel like it is too much whitewashed wood effect and that there are too many different wood shapes going on.

If you usually keep your table as 48” round I would stick to a round-ish chandelier as well.

If you are dedicated to having more wood I would buy this one:
www.lampsplus.com/products/lillian-27-inch-wide-gray-wood-ring-wagon-wheel-chandelier__39g03.html

This has the geometric aspect, but in a rounder package:
www.lampsplus.com/products/hawking-5-light-20-inch-wide-bronze-pendant-chandelier__7y952.html
Or:
www.lampsplus.com/products/tanner-18-inch-wide-bronze-and-antique-brass-4-light-pendant__63t24.html

My choice for that style table would be something like this:
www.lampsplus.com/products/elata-27-inch-wide-olde-bronze-5-light-orbital-chandelier__13a82.html
It also comes in a pewter finish here if you don’t like bronze and you want a lighter look:

Thank you for your suggestions - I like the Hawking and Elata styles! :-D

Do check around at local stores for pricing. There is a massive markup on lighting and you can often get them for up to 30% off, especially if you work them against each other (in my area there are three companies that al would sell these same fixtures).
