Design Dilemma Entry Lighting

Barrel ceiling entryway light fixture

4 years ago

Hello houzz! I am having a hard time choosing the best fixture to showcase our wood barrel ceiling entry way! Here are two I am in between and other pictures of lighting we will have throughout the house. Any feedback is appreciated!

Please no Edison bulbs anywhere and I like lighting in an entry to light the entry and in your case I would look for a fixture that does both up and down light since you need both IMO. Are you planning on sconce on the right wall? I think this entry is very grand and please no fans if at all possible .

Patricia, thank you for your advice! Any specific reason for not using Edison bulbs? Also there won’t be a sconce so I’m actually not sure that that outlet is for lol

No fans in the house or entryway?

Thank you for the feedback!

IMO some type of lantern style seems more appropriate for the space.
