I have an open plan kitchen/living/dining room and would like to hang two chandeliers of the same color. Which color do you think would look best from the list above?The floor is terra cotta tiles, the cabinets are white, the countertops are black/white/grey speckled granite, the walls are light beige, the door handels are chrome, and the ceiling and exposed beams are white. The furniture is mostly white, or dk.brown leather. The house is in the country with a slight Provencal feel, so it is not modern, but it is brand new.

If you want your chandeliers to stand out and be noticed then I would suggest black. It will contrast nicely with the ceiling and beams. If the chandeliers are not meant for decorative purposes, or you don't necessarily want them to stand out I would suggest using white. The other two colors don't seem like they would fit in with your color scheme very well. Leave the color "pops" for your accessories and keep your base a neutral palette. I think a copper shade would be gorgeous too!

Either rust or white would look great depending on the style of the chandelier. Bring one of each home on trial to see which one works best. Sounds like a great space.

I would go with a chrome which you have not mentioned because it would match your doorhandles and would classy with the granite worktops. Otherwise the rust because of the colour of the floor. Good Luck.

I love the rust. It would balance with the terracotta floors. Sounds like a beautiful style of home!

I'd definitely go with rust. The other colors seem like they would clash or simply not stand out at all. Rust seems like it will stand out, yet blend well at the same time.

I'd go with rust , it will play off the terra cotta flooring.

Oh definitely a high-gloss shiny black for those chandeliers.... It's all the rage right now and looks sooooo classy! Besides, every room needs some black in it to ground all the colors together...

If your appliances are stainless would definitely go with the black. If they are white, then you could probably use the rust. Either way I would go black.

Depends some things look better in coloured and other things look better in black and white.
