What style chandelier should I get?

9 years ago

last modified: 9 years ago

I purchased the Michele chandelier, it's French inspired (at least that's what it looks like to me) for our formal dining room and I'm needing to find a second chandelier/light fixture that coordinates for our entryway.

You can see both lights when standing in either room. I'm having such a difficult time. My decor is a mix of french/glam/traditional. I have the Louis De Poorete Silver Birch rug in the formal living room with a matching silver/gray/blue velvet chaise. The dining room has a rustic looking table with skirted chairs. I don't have photos of the rooms yet since the furniture hasn't been delivered.

But does anyone have an input on the style for the second chandelier? I've spent two months looking at a vast range of styles. Right now I'm exploring more whimsical (think Tole) chandeliers but I really have no idea. I just want something that's a little more fun/whimsical/fancy. But again, if that just won't go with the Michele that's fine too. :P) I'm so lost!

Thanks in advance. :)

these have similar colors going on. i dont think you want something that matches exactly but something that complements right?

Thank you! @itsall1 - that's correct, not matchy-matchy but complements. These two are great! I soooo appreciate you sending over links. Really either of these would go perfectly. Thanks again!

I have! That was another style I was seriously considering for the entryway. May need to revisit it. Thanks for the inspiration.

What's the ceiling height, btw? I probably should've asked that before!

Ceiling is 10'11". I'm happy you shared the chandelier with the beads - I wasn't sure if that style would go with the Michele - but you obviously think it does. I really like that one. I just need to check out the measurements. :) Thanks so much!
