Foyer lighting suggestins

I want to remove the track lighting and put up a chandelier. Given the look of the railing, which is currently white but needs to be painted, what style of chandelier would you suggest? Our style is transitional leaning more toward traditional. The distance from the railing to the wall is 10 feet. I also need curtain suggestions for the window above the door.

I think the window looks fine with no window covering and I think curtains up that high would look odd. I can’t tell from the photo but you may need the outlet on the ceiling moved. Your chandelier should be centered on the high window and door.

The outlet is centered in front of the window and door. I can't wait for the track lighting to come down.

To give you some idea of scale, my foyer is 2-stories tall with window and door like you have. But my foyer is only 8’ wide. My light is 24” wide - I suspect you can use a larger one. Lamps Plus online has great selection. If you have problem with sun coming from west on window, as I did, motorized cellular shade, which is only used during summer, reduced temperature in foyer and upstairs significantly.
