There are some really nice flush and semi-flush fixtures.

I actually like the ones that have a plain round fabric-type shade. Of course, may depend on how much dust you get. Might help to know ceiling height. I do think a lantern fixture would look nice there as well, and don't think proximity to the chandelier is much of an issue.

Good luck :)

No need to get too matchy-matchy with your light fixtures. Love the wagon wheel over your table, check out some of the options of this website: http://woodenchandeliersplus.com

And here are guides to size if your not sure of the size needed and hanging a foyer chandelier:

This article will sum up how to choose the correct size chandelier for your space. Taking into account the height of your room, the size of the furniture in the room and the size of the room.

The first step: The Diameter

Get a measuring tape, a piece of paper, a pencil and possibly a calculator (I’ll bet your smart phone has one). To determine the diameter of your chandelier: Measure the length and width of your room. Get your calculator (if you have one) and add the two numbers together. For instance if your room is 10 feet wide by 12 feet long, you will get the answer of 22 feet. Anyway go ahead and change that 22 feet to 22 inches. There is where the diameter of your chandelier comes in you need a chandelier that is 22 inches in diameter.

If you are looking at a chandelier over a dining room table, figure 12 inches smaller than your table is wide. For example if your dining table is 4 foot wide – 48 inches, your chandelier should be 3 foot wide – 36 inches. Better too big than too small. So a good range to look at over a 4 foot wide table would be 36 inches to 40 inches say.

The second step: How Tall

If we are looking at 8 foot ceilings in this dining room, it should hang about 30 inches from the very bottom of the chandelier to the top of your dining table. If we are trying to figure out how tall a chandelier to hang in your foyer it should drop about 7 feet off the floor to the bottom of the chandelier. So think of it this way, for every foot of height estimate 2.5 to 3 inches in chandelier height. Trust your eye.

The third step: Now Where to Hand This Chandelier

Don’t limit yourself to just a dining room or an entry way/foyer. You can hang a chandelier over your claw foot tub or free standing tub. This chandelier shouldn’t be too large, a mini is usually enough to dress up the space. You can have a chandelier in the master bedroom, just put a dimmer on it and you have created a romantic glow, much safer than candles for those special occasions. A mini chandelier or two over your kitchen island, a large island 10 ft or so could probably take 3 mini chandeliers. Go Big or go home!

The Fourth step: What Kind of Style Should I Choose

If you lean toward a rustic decor, a chandelier that has antlers or wood beams could be an option. For a modern contemporary look try a drum chandelier with crystals too add some sparkle and bling. For a more shabby chic look how about a beaded chandelier for one with a distressed painted finish.

Most chandeliers have the option of an adjustable height, usually means coiling a cord, taking out a link or two, or some have a sliding mechanism that allows height adjustment. It all depends on the style of your chandelier.

Okay I Have a Chandelier For my Foyer, Now What?

The height of your Chandelier can make all the difference in the world. Make sure to do it right.

So you used a formula on how tall and wide your chandelier should be, hopefully. You now have that chandelier and your not sure how high to hang it. The location is EVERYTHING in order to maximize the wow factor of your focal point; your beautiful chandelier. And also to consider is how many lights and how it will light up your space. You don't want the fixture hiding in the shadows, you want it to light up every corner of your foyer and announce itself as your guests enter your home.

There is a formula for this too. If you foyer has a 9 to 10 foot ceiling, the chandelier should be hung between 7 and 7.5 feet off the floor. Unless, of course, someone that lives in your home is taller than 7 or 7.5 feet that is. No one wants to bump their head of a chandelier every time they walk into your foyer. This height also helps distribute the light properly though your foyer. Now if your foyer isn't very tall, the best option for you would be a flush mounted chandelier. I have done this is my past home. I had a two story foyer, but as you entered the front door area the ceiling was 8 feet. So guess what? I hung a chandelier in the 2 story foyer area and put a flush mount in the 8 foot ceiling part. That worked out very nice, and I received many compliments.

Now when we say 2 story foyer that means 11 - 12 feet or more. Many designers recommend the chandelier be aligned with the top of the stairs or just a smidgen below. Trust your eye, play with it at different heights. Or lets say your foyer is 12 foot tall and has a window over the door, well then it would make sense to center the light over the window. That way it can be seen from inside and outside. If there are no stairs and there isn't a window to center, the recommendation is to cut the foyer height in thirds. Positioning the chandelier two-thirds of that distance would be prudent as not to let the ceiling overwhelm the foyer. Usually in this case it is recommended a larger fixture than the traditional formula especially for a larger foyer. That way your fixture can be seen and your able to flood the foyer with the appropriate amount of light.

As I said earlier play with it. It's your home, your opinion matters. What I have done in the past is have my electrician hang it as low as it would go in a 2 story foyer and then had them move it up and down until I thought it was aesthetically pleasing to my eye. Or if you want to decided another way use a helium balloon, simple enough right?! Either have the measuring tape affixed to the balloon or a string will do and then measure the string after your bring the balloon down. Good luck and have fun!
