Hey guys! If there’s one thing we’re totally obsessed with here at Dekorfine, it’s seeing how you bring our lighting to life in your own spaces. Today, we’re heading over to Seattle to check out a total dining room transformation by Emily R., and honestly? We are swooning.
Emily took her dining space from "meh" to absolutely stunning, and we are so pumped that she chose one of our favorite statement pieces to be the star of the show.
The Problem: The "Builder-Grade" Blues
Let’s be real—moving into a newer house is great, but those default, builder-grade light fixtures they come with? Usually not the vibe.
"Our house has this amazing open-concept layout, but it was almost too open," Emily told us. "The dining room flows right into the kitchen and living area, and the original light was just this tiny, boring fixture. The dining table felt completely lost in the room. We desperately needed a centerpiece to anchor the space without making it feel heavy."
The Fix: Natural Vibes & High-End Materials
After doing some major online hunting, Emily stumbled upon our [Sienna Bird Round Chandelier], and it was basically love at first sight.
"I wanted something modern, but I didn't want it to feel cold," she shared. "Living in the Pacific Northwest, we love natural elements, so the playful little bird details totally sold me. It literally looks like a floating piece of art."
What makes this chandelier so special is the gorgeous mix of materials. The sleek metal canopy and warm wood frame bring that high-end, grounded touch. But the real magic happens with the birds—carefully crafted from resin and acrylic, they catch the integrated LED light perfectly, creating a soft, inviting glow that feels cozy and sophisticated all at once.
Emily’s Pro-Tips for Hanging
Wondering how to get this exact look in your own home? Emily dropped a few styling secrets for us:
-
Find the Sweet Spot: Emily hung the lowest part of the chandelier exactly 34 inches over her dining table. It’s the perfect height—it doesn't block anyone's view while you're sitting down, but it still feels super intentional and intimate.
-
Play with the Dimmer: "This fixture is dimmable, and using a triac dimmer switch was a total game-changer," Emily says. "We can crank it up when the kids are doing homework at the table, but turn it way down for a moody, cozy vibe when we have friends over for drinks."
The Final Verdict
I mean, just look at that before and after. The space finally has a focal point, and it feels so welcoming.
"It completely changed the entire feel of our first floor," Emily says. "Literally everyone who walks through our front door stops and asks about this chandelier. The quality is insane, and it looks so much more expensive than it actually was. We are so happy with it!"
Thank you so much for sharing your gorgeous home with us, Emily!
