I thought the problem was the lack of height of the fixtures. The link shows a similar design dilemma that was solved beautifully.

Are you thinking that 27" is too small. As above, you'd need to consider the height of the chandelier also.

Yes I'm thinking that 27" seems a bit small in that space. I am considering a Kichler Langford with dimensions 42" wide and 43" tall.

That fixture is very dated. Style makes big difference along with shape. What is style of furnishings? With that height, depending on style you could go to 30” wide x35” high. I just replaced similar fixtures in my entry with 30”x35” fixtures.

My style is somewhere between contemporary and transitional. That pic helps give some perspective on what a 30" chandelier looks like in a bigger space. I like the fixtures in restoration hardware's lighting section but I'm having trouble justifying the 5000-10000 price tag.

You're replacing the two that you have with one....right?? They are really close to one another.

Add an interesting lamp and a mirror instead of a painting to your entry hallway to increase light. How fancy do you want to get on replacement lighting?

Go for 36” - or even more. Pick a fixture with volume, not just width.

Your home is beautiful, but I suggest a larger and more modern light fixture. Here are some ideas:

The fixtures are about 12' ft apart. I hadn't considered going to one fixture. wonder which would look better in a 20' hall

27 is minimum, go big for impact and drama; no need play it safe

I wouldn't try replacing two with one. Keep it two like you have.

What is the diameter of your current fixtures?

The diameter of the current fixtures is approximately 18". They feel way to small

You could easily go to 30" wide/round. I would do that with the height of your ceilings. Mine are 30" wide and I think I could have gone a bit larger, but my entry is 9.5' wide. So 28-30" is good target size. You can go 28-36" high. Height isn't an issue for you space.

I guess while we're at it should i do chrome/nickel, bronze, gold, or black fixtures?

I think I would repeat the blacks or dark metals in your home. It would be a nice compliment. Also show up better. But you could do antique golds or bronze. I wouldn't do chrome or nickel. Now that I see the other photos you posted, the darker metals would show up better put keep the design modern.

great foyer. you have to do something a big more modern and substantial looking.

this is gorge...needs to be larger than the 24"

Use the search feature on Houzz.com. You can add style, size, finish and price restrictions to your search. You might even find something similar to what you like on RH, at a much lower price. I would like to see something that shows through your upper window, so that it can be seen by visitors before arriving at your home. Pick something that you can put LED bulbs in so that you don’t have to be up high changing those bulbs very often.

You posted something that was 43" long(although dated), so I am assuming that you want to see part of the fixture from the window above the door???

I have a window like that in our entry, and no matter what you do, you can't see the fixture from outside, so I wouldn't concern myself with that aspect. Just what looks good coming into your home and from inside to please yourself! Just letting you know about that.

We put our foyer light where it looked best from inside the house. From the outside you only see the lighted foyer, not the fixture. I'm OK with that.

here's a few using the view in your house feature...

Plenty of cool options pictured! I agree about 30" wide would be what to shoot for.

Curious if you have easy access to the attic above these lights? Asking because I have two friends with motorized chandelier lifts. They have a keyed switch next to the light switch and can lower them to the ground for cleaning and maintenance. I'm jealous! I looked it up and they are too expensive for me, but there are some DIYers out there that have made their own with an inexpensive winch from Harbor Freight.

Of course. you'd have to do two... Anyway, just throwing that out there.

Trey, you don’t need to go overly large when there are two in close proximity . Also, the space is a nice size but the width is on the narrow side . Lantern - types look nice in multiples . I like the second one Beth posted. With the lantern style , it might be good to go with one that doesn’t have glass panels .sunlight coming through shows all the dust and filming after a while. Here are a couple that seem price worthy ( the height can always be adjusted if the fixture hangs from a chain ) The one fixture has some dark metal to contrast the ceiling, but also a bit of brass sparkle . I think the lighter metal finish would help to brighten everything more, since you have a lot of dark below.

I also really like the chandelier Gwen posted . I think it would be good to have lots of openess around the candles and not a lot of bulk, since the wall space is more narrow and confined.

2 of these would look just gorgeous!

From Rejuvenation’s simple contemporary design...

A couple more I have found. Be careful to make sure you can get the drop from the ceiling you will need. A couple of these aren’t as large but they are similar to some you mentioned you might like but these are lower priced.

Sharon - where did you get that chandelier
