Design Dilemma Dining Rooms

Bronze Lighting?

Joanna Smithers

3 years ago

Hi everyone,

I really like the look of these bronze pendants but I have never used bronze lighting before. I am wondering if the gold-ish hue of the interior of these shades would cast a somewhat orange light? I am planning to use them over my dining table and whilst I favour warm light temperatures generally I wonder if this would be almost orange. . Any thoughts appreciated!!

They will cast a warm light but on a wooden table it may look really good, perhaps less so on a white surface.

I have a light that has a copper inside in my living room and love it. However we don't tend to use the overhead light, instead use lamps, so I don't see the orangeness much! It definitely does give an orange glow. If orange was in your decor in your kitchen it could be nice, otherwise I think it would be a bit much particularly if you were using more than one pendant!!

Hi there, we have just had our kitchen finished in navy blue (RAL2004) we found the 2011 too light. We used Silestone calatatta gold worktops, full height splash back and island worktop, we painted all the walls in Little Greene Tusk, which brings warmth to the walls. Maybe look at a darker oak flooring, as this will add a lot of warmth to the room, we went with an antique oak (I normally absolutely hate dark/antique oak but for me, the floor makes our kitchen).

Hi Nixxy H, After reading this discussion, I believe that I may have a few suggestions that could help you. I have seen that you have said you like the look of blue and silver. But for a more trendy look, maybe some gold accents instead, which would suit this wall colour beautifully. We stock a huge variety of wall sconces that would suit this living room. I will list a few below; [Industrial Style Diner Wall Light[(https://www.houzz.co.uk/products/bronze-1-light-industrial-style-diner-wall-light-prvw-vr~105367769) [Garufo Adjustable Wall Spotlight [(https://www.houzz.co.uk/products/garufo-adjustable-wall-spotlight-grey-prvw-vr~109717919) [Jalay Black Task Wall Lamp[(https://www.houzz.co.uk/products/jalay-black-wall-task-lamp-prvw-vr~109718173) [Ingot 2 Light Crystal Prism Wall Light[(https://www.houzz.co.uk/products/ingot-2-light-crystal-prism-wall-light-rust-prvw-vr~109780467) [Bulla LED Water Droplet Wall Light [(https://www.houzz.co.uk/products/visconte-bulla-led-wall-light-water-drop-1-light-chrome-prvw-vr~134581325) Here is a link to our entire Wall Light range also. ([Link[(https://www.houzz.co.uk/products/wall-sconces-prbr1-br~t_14238~a_10-10518531)) I have also noticed you mentioned a statement Table Lamp. I will leave a couple of options again here that don't have a shade, so no need to worry about clashing; [1 Light Decanter Style Table Lamp[(https://www.houzz.co.uk/products/1-light-decanter-table-lamp-clear-prvw-vr~132165901) [Silver Mosaic Style Table Lamp[(https://www.houzz.co.uk/products/mosaic-style-table-lamp-silver-1-light-prvw-vr~109718031) 3 Light Twist Table Lamp Here is our entire range on our website of Table Lamps that we offer. (Link) Finally, I also think that a nice piece of wall art would bring your living room together, we also offer Wall Art and I believe a lot of our pieces would look stunning; [Sailing Boat Mirrored Frame Wall Art[(https://www.houzz.co.uk/products/square-mirror-picture-frame-with-glittered-sailing-boats-illustration-prvw-vr~114199451) [Ballerina Mirrored Frame Wall Art[(https://www.houzz.co.uk/products/square-mirror-picture-frame-with-glittered-ballerina-shoes-illustration-prvw-vr~114199481) [Angel On Water Mirrored Frame Wall Art[(https://www.houzz.co.uk/products/square-mirror-picture-frame-with-glittered-angel-on-water-illustration-prvw-vr~114199478) Here is the link to our entire Wall Art range.

Joanne, I have recently purchased the bronze light below. It doesn’t cast any kind of orange or coloured light. It gives off the same light as the clear crystal lighting I have.
