Did I buy the wrong size foyer light?

12 years ago

I ordered this light, Superior Moravian Star for my foyer. The dimensions of the new light are 19"x19". Here is the foyer and the current light that is being replaced. When I placed the order, I was just wanting something that would fit nicely inside the center window. I'm having doubts now that the light is too tiny for the space. Thoughts?

PROPER SCALE is essential. Can you exchange for a larger one? Or buy two more and hang at three different heights.

I think it could work, although a slightly larger fixture might be ideal. I would try it out - it's worth a shot. Good luck!

Unfortunately, I can't hang it up then return it...it has to be unused.

Without seeing it photoshopped into the space, I think it may be too small.

Do you know the dimensions of the light you're replacing?

The old light looks about the same width but much taller...

I would keep the star (it is the cutest thing ever) for the back entry/ mudroom or Master Bath, and get something much more grand for the foyer...

If the lights are the same width, here is one star, one star hung lower, and two stars.

Sorry but way too small...I like the look and the idea but unfortunately your foyer has a lot of volume to fill for that tiny light....I like the idea of more than one but you should have three...two is a bit off balance....it's a great idea that Gray and Walter suggested....

I like the idea of the 2 hung at different levels

I had also thought of 3 hung in a triangle at different heights...could be very interesting..especially if you could have 2 or 3 different sizes...& you could get the height you need

I agree with frola123 if it would be cost effective

I have this beautiful star light. I'm concerned that one will be too small for your high ceiling open foyer space. I love the idea of hanging two of them to create the size you need and the gorgeous unique look! That was a terrific suggestion.

I like the Idea of 3 lights. Usually when grouping things together it is done in odd numbers not even. So 3 would balance it nicely:)
