Hi experts! i need some help with the lighting for my dining area. The power outlet on the ceiling is about 8 feet away from the dining table. It's almost impossible to install a chandelier there. I'm considering two options. One is an arc floor lamp, but the area is small and so is my dining table. The arc lamp may be too chunky. 2nd option is to use just candles with some nice and tall candle holders. What do you suggest? Is it weird To just use candles as the source of light? or anyone know where I can get a smaller size arc floor lamp? Thank you!!!

il y a 11 ansObviously, the architect had another area in mind for the dining area. Have you thought of going with the flow, positioning your seating area to take advantage of the view, and making use of the electrical installation to have a great light fixture, like a contemporary drum chandy above your table? Don't limit the table to one function. Pull the sofa out in the middle and use the table behind it, with the two chairs. Use the third chair as an accent chair and pull it to the table when needed. Something to think about.

il y a 11 ansThanks very much for your advise. I attached a picture from another angel which gives you a view of the living room. The electrical outlet is kinda in the middle of the living room. Putting a dining table kinda blocks the traffic, or not? also the position of TV restricts where I can put my soft. Your thoughts? Thanks!!!!!

That one transitional piece that must be perfect.
Commentaires (0)I have a very well built set of furniture my Father made - so for the emotional reasons I will not give it up. Then comes the BUT - it is pale and made out of solid birch with absolutely beautiful flaming, swirling type of wood - and I love dark almost black, black and some grey for my furniture. I like silver over gold, latter of which I will not accept. It is crime to paint wood - generally speaking especially when it is beautiful - and so I will not do. The set of furniture includes a bit over 3 m long very near ceiling height book selves with center area designed for the TV and a stereo.. electronics. It has its own lights. There is section with led-glass and other with wood doors - some open shelves. Down there is a bit larger base with drawers. Then there exists an additional extension which can also be set else where in a room. There is 1 sqm large a coffee table high enough to work as a laptop table with structural design and a hidden base compartment for a home safe (how ever not good for permanent work table - no way). I designed the table top for it and made it when I was a teen. The design includes glass cover. In addition I have a nicely sized, bit larger than usually lamp table with 3 drawers. I designed the legs for that - so they are not common type while still simple. They are more narrow at the ends than at the top. They have silver handles and traditional framed centers for the doors. The pale birch of the doors in this particular object found online is exactly what my birch is like - tone included... I like the black legs on that. I do like Art Deco - but something about this object just does not work. I need more options and ideas. This might be just the first and most important piece of furniture to get because... I prefer much more things like these.. Please help me to find that small, but not too small a piece that can unite well enough dark and the existing pale birch. Thank you....

Commentaires (36)Microwave next to the table would solve the bad looks and the height issue. Normally upper cabinets can be about 48cm above countertop, but since it looks better to have them on the same height as the built-in hood, you'll need 60cm. But if you're 1.60m you could consider a free hanging hood and some upper cabinets next to it, otherwise all uppers would be too high for you and you'd only use the lower shelf. And even better: Buy an oven with microwave function! (already posted that I think) Oven with microwave is different than microwave with grill. I even have a 12 year old tiny Panasonic combi that makes perfect bread and pizza!... Voir plusHelpful Kitchen Interior Design Tips
Commentaires (0)Helpful interior design tips, to combine practicality and beauty, leading to a healthy eating! Everyone knows that proper nutrition is the key to a healthy and active life, but not everyone realizes how our eating habits are sometimes interrelated with the space in which we cook and eat our food. We'd like to share the top 5 practical advices from the personal experience of the Space Feeling interior design team, to combine practicality and beauty, leading to a healthy eating. COLOR AND SHADES We want to turn your attention to shades. If you want to eat less, repaint the dining room in your favorite color but in its cold shade. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cold shades of any colors will oppress the appetite, warm and dark shades, on the contrary, will awaken it. White is the most versatile and comfortable color, for good reason it has become the main color of Scandinavian design. HOME PLANTS Potted plants not only give comfort and more air to our homes. The presence of a large number of home plants in the interior of the kitchen also encourages us to eat and cook green food, and this is mainly greens, vegetables and fruits, olive oil. If you don’t like plants — wallpapers with all sorts of palm and tropical prints will come to help you. The atmosphere they bring will make you not only eat well, but also feel at home like in an oasis! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MORE LIGHT When you plan the kitchen space, try to place the table and working area closer to the window, in addition add lamps, pendants and wall lamps there too, the more, the better. We tend to eat 25–30% more food in darker rooms than we do in better lit kitchens or dining rooms. The more light is present in meal areas, the more responsible we are with our meals! “CLOSED” KITCHEN FURNITURE When planning or ordering furniture, make the kitchen cabinets more closed. We could eat 20% of food simply because it comes into our eyes. Therefore, hide all less healthy food in cabinets, and “promote” fruits, vegetables and water by giving them a central, very visible position in your kitchen. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CLEAN AND TIDY Keep the kitchen and dining table clean. When you are in a messy out-of-control place, it gives you an excuse to pay less attention to your eating habits. Try to take away leftovers to the refrigerator and closed cabinets immediately after eating, the chaos on the table after a meal also inclines us to overeat. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We hope these tips will help you enhance your kitchen space and promote healthy eating!

il y a 11 ansDernière modification :il y a 11 ansCheck lbl (LBL) under "products" or go to the lbllighting.com website to look at their gallery-residential pendants, heads and accessories, and systems . A monorail can snake across the ceiling with directional, discreet heads still using the existing octagon box for the power. Then, the monorail winds its way over to the dining table where you can place a group of "fusion jack" pendants over the table. You should talk to an electrical expert to see if the voltage is right, I think these have built in transformers. There are so many fixture styles....some are shown on a canopy but can be used on the monorail. There are several post placed along the monorail for support so you may also need a carpenter to mount them (depending on your ceiling structure, you might be drilling into concrete).

il y a 11 ansDernière modification :il y a 11 ansHere is an option that could add a little architectural interest but would cost a bit. I can see very shallow coffering....no deeper than your existing crowns...making a grid pattern on the ceiling. The lengthwise grid should line up with the window dividers and the grid across the room should run under the existing ceiling box (*)...as well as the left side of the closed blind to help subliminally create a dining threshold, and another near the kitchen end of the living room (assuming by the reflection in the window that your kitchen is here). Another lateral one should be across the table in order to hang the fixture. The ideal pattern has symmetry...hard to tell you exact placement without knowing room dimensions and placement of the existing box. The beam that runs over the table would have the junction box for the light. *The exisiting junction box would have to remain accessible, unless the electrician can run a new feed from the switch and terminate this one. (a live one cannot ber buried). The false beams would be hollow for the wire chase, fitted with a bottom and crowned within each rectangle.
It may be that the window and door area requires one slightly out from the blinds to act as shallow valance.
Looking at the closed blind, imagine a crown that sits out from it about 4"....follow that same line over the sofa and there would be a deeper "soffit" in that area, ideal for recessed mini puck lighting to wash the walls or some indirect linear trough light (if the created soffit does not meet wall over the sofa).
The attched photo shows beams much deeper than I'd suggest for you. Yours would be only as deep as your crown...but deep enough to contain an octagon box or shallow pan box. Make sure your selected light does not require a hidden transformer etc.
Regarding the pattern....not all rectangles need to be the same. Perimeter ones may be small (kitchen end too) but the one in the center can be larger, as long as grid allows. I am guessing about 4 rectangles across in front of windows 30 wide x 60 long...another 30 x 60 against wall over sofa and tv...but the one over the coffee could be 60x60...4 again across at kitchen end of sofa, terminating before kitchen. As long as 1 beam hits the existing junction box or is close enough for the box to be manipulated there. The width of beam...4-5" or so to house light box. This beam width would be wider over patio door and over sofa...over end window if you want recessed puck lights there too. The beams in front of windows would not attach to the wall but would act as a valance for the blind tracks.
I like the idea of a starry delicate fixture...a cluster of mini glass or crystal pendants etc. on delicate discreet wire feeds so the view stays spectacular.
