I think the brass would look gorgeous with your pretty wall color! As for the size, I honestly have no idea.

That first one is gorgeous. Make a mock light out of a box and put it up and see if the size works.

Your first selection appears rather traditional compared to your selection of wall and floor finish.

I like the 1st one, but 15.5" sounds small to me if centered in the room...

I believe it is centered. They also have the light in a pendant. It is 19.5" wide. I am torn, because I like the look of the 1st version better. I also don't want to overwhelm the space vertically. But this width is a bit better proportionally. Hmmmm.....

i have read (you'll find it when you do a search) that the proper size for a ceiling fixture is length plus width. so12x14 would be a 26" fixture. personally, i think that may be overkill, but i think maybe it should be at least 20 something inches?? all of them are pretty, but i love the 2 that you posted. can't the pendant one be shortened quite a bit?

9 ft. seems low for a pendant light. What is the name of the light you like?

Instead of a ceiling light, what if you just put recessed lighting in the ceiling, and maybe a ceiling fan w/o lights on it, and put two of these sconces on each side of the bed. They'd be beautiful against that gorgeous purple you chose for your walls.

Btw, your wall color is gorgeous. What is it?

Well, I went ahead and ordered the first one. If it looks too whimpy, I'll make a change. I love the idea of sconces, but we are many months overdue and many dollars above our original budget on this house remodel. I just don't have the stomach to make any changes at this point. :)

I will find out the paint color. They have it in my record at the paint store. Thanks!!

I think you chose well. That's a beautiful light and plenty big enough for a room that size.

I think it will be perfect :)

I love the sconces, too. Maybe you can add them at a later date. Can I ask where you found them?

Errant, I think you're asking the OP, but here is the link to the place where I found the collection.

Thank you, Tibb! Those are very pretty. I was hoping they had small pendants to use over my bath vanity, but no such luck.

YW, Errant. The sconces are tall. They'd be great on each side of a bathroom vanity mirror, no?

It is too bad they don't have this style in smaller pendants. They're a really beautiful style.

Errant, Elk Lighting has the pendants and really nice smaller wall sconces.

Yes, the tall sconces would be lovely! My small vanity (40") is up against a wall on one side. Adding sconces would mean a smaller mirror, which I didn't want to do.
