We have an open concept home so no matter which room you're in you can see the kitchen, dining and living room all at once.
Our living room is designed quite "softly" - sheer lilac curtains, velvet drum-shade lamps, velvety furniture. Our kitchen is more dramatic - dark, dark brown cabinets, stainless steel backsplash and white/grey quartz counters. Our dining room (very small) holds a dark wooden rectangular table with benches. I've posted pictures of all.
So - we're trying to decide on a dining room light. We're thinking black or dark in colour and right now are debating between one with a black, silk string shade or one with a dark wooden slatted shade. We just can't decide which compliments all the rooms the best. Or does it have to complement all rooms the best.
Attached are photos of the two lights. Thoughts would be appreciated. Or ideas on any others you think would look good.
This is the second post on this topic. I wasn't sure if I continued the other that anyone would notice.

yes that a nice stuff
i found this community really helpful for me..
It's sound cool ! I think it can impove by replacing the lamp with the woodend stats.
I don't see it the same way as Anrol. You have a ton on stainless going on in the kitchen and methinks it would be nice to soften it down. Still like the wood/black slats best.
Hard to tell but what are your cutain rods? Are they stainless? The reason that I ask is that you seem to have a lot of wood going on now. It looks nice but another option might be to carry the stainless from the kitchen (being as it is open concept) through to the diningroom and add something with stainless or brushed steel/satin nickel over the table. This is from Restoration Hardware (Rectangular Shade Pendant) It comes in white linen shade/satin nickel rods and trim or black linen shade/satin nickel trim and rods..............................
Image Sorry about the small pic. You will have to look it up.
Great pictures! The lamp with the wooden slats would work very well.
Great - thanks! :-)
Even after seeing pictures of your home, I still vote for the lamp with the wooden slats. I think it would fit nicely with your taste and decor.
