How many Chandeliers?

8 years ago

I am redoing my entire home. I have finished the family room / kitchen area. My home is very open concept ... How many hanging chandeliers can or should you have? I have one in my dining room, family room, foyer and over my kitchen table. I really need another in my living room as the room floats without wall space and it's also vaulted. Where should I stop?

I'd stop as soon as you don't need anymore. That sounds like plenty already.

I think lighting is the simplest update to do to any room. If you feel you need another one, go for it! It can add lots of style to any room and does not have to be too expensive. Happy Decorating.

If you love that wallpaper, use it in bathroom. Not really right for behind bed. I would go a drum style chandelier. In a silk pale gold. Your bed looks zen or Asian to me. I love it. But, you don't. Need to much with it. Keep it simple a more formal drape on windows, color would depend on wall color and bedding. I'm thinking a dramatic peacock satin. Use a lighter same tone on walls a rich teal. Ceiling can be gold leaf. With alight that cast shadows on ceiling at night. Then your wall paper will tie in. Furn should be mirrored.

How to utilize area under this staircase?
Q

Hi, There are a number of ways in which the area under a staircase can be utilized. In case of a cramped house or space restrictions, this space can be used for providing storage, services or even a powder room as elaborated below : In case there are no space constraints and all the other areas are taken care of, the space below the stairs can be used for add ons such as a library, study, cellar or a minibar. In case there are any dogs in the house, this area serves as a spacious and compact kennel too : Apart from this, if the space is to be treated solely considering aesthetics, it can be livened up using a bit of indoor landscaping, sculptures and water body : Hope these ideas help. Do let us know what you decided to choose. All the best! Regards, RnD Atelier Nagpur

I do have a large home 6000 square feet, I'm thinking I would like one in the living room. Considering what's there now are ugly cans up in the ceiling and I need the light. I want it to give light but not be a focal point as the chandelier in my dining room is quite large and definitely a piece!

If the chandeliers complement each other yet are different sizes it would be fine. Also, if you want the dining room chandelier to be the star, have the living room chandelier understated elegance. Nice to look at but won't overshadow the DR.

Here is sample of dining room and living room having three chandeliers. Similar, but different. I bet the foyer has one too. :)

You may want to consider (depending on your style) a fan/ light combination. It can break up all the hanging chandeliers idea and still help you creat more light and interest in the room.

Would you take a picture of each area?

Not a big fan of chandeliers in the living room unless you have a ledge soffit. Then I would do rope lighting around the edge of the soffit. Otherwise, I would prefer low level lighting on end tables or sconces by fireplace.
