Comments (6)It's not a must do. I think that the current sconce is a little too ornate/federation style for your lovely house. (Is it thirties/forties era?). Noone else is going to much notice it though, it's black, not overly large and definitely not offensive. So if you hate it, then it's probably worth doing, otherwise I'd leave it. The alternatives you picked out would definitely be more true to your house. Maybe no. 3?...See MoreShould i go dark tiles or light? Please Help

4 years agoHi laura Sigal
Generally I like to position a pendant over the dining table from 700-850mm from top of table to bottom of fitting.
It all depends on the height of the ceiling, type of fitting, size of table and room to get the balance right. You want the light to have a closer relationship with the table setting than the ceiling to create an intimate dining space. Your fitting is semi-transparent so it could easily go lower without being out of place. Check out some other examples of ours. Best wishes

4 years agoHi Laura, it's a gorgeous pendant that will throw a beautiful ambient light over your dining table. I think you could go a little lower, I'd be aiming for around 750mm above table height (as per the other suggestion above) so that it doesn't interfere when people are seated at the table, but has a stronger connection to the dining setting. You could also consider adding a second or even third similar pendant (in a smaller size) to create a cluster which always looks great as a feature in a dining area and might add more balance to the space. Here's an example from Kuzman Architecture using a trio of Mark Douglass glass pendants. Good luck!
