My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Lighting dilemma

4 years ago

Hello all! I love Visual
comfort’s Etoile’s chandelier and think it would be perfect in my breakfast room. The photos are from when the house was listed. My actual table is the white one with orange chairs. That’s the view of the breakfast room from the living room. Would this chandelier compete too much with a foyer lantern for example ( I want to replace the foyer light too)? I am having the hardest time Deciding if I should just have a simple semi flush mount in the foyer or if I can hang a not too large lantern.

    How high is the ceiling in the foyer? You don't want the light to hang lower than 7' from the floor. If the fixture is tall and therefore can't take much of a chain that looks strange. I like the Hampton fixtures you posted, but they're very traditional. If that goes with your style then one of them would be a good fit. If not, consider one of the ones that @RL Relocation posted.
