We need lighting. I want to think of the whole living/dining space as one area where the fixtures aren't matchy matchy but complement each other. To me that means:
-a mix of materials (brass, bronze, wood, clear glass, milk glass)
-a mix of sizes
-a mix of levels (pendant/chandelier vs flush)
See my earlier post about "Modern Traditional" (aka Millennial Primitive). It should feel fairly timeless. Sometimes that can mean farmhousey sometimes danish modern, but they meet in functional, simple, sturdy without being too industrial. See this post: https://stylebyemilyhenderson.com/blog/modern-traditional-style-lighting-ideas. Don't think about whether you like each item individually, look at the example photos and see how the fixture as an object contributes to the overall timeless vibe. I feel the kitchen has gotten pretty modern which is wonderful functionally, but I'd like to bring back a little of whatever-word-we-use-instead-of-rustic.
