Only drop it down as low as the center of that window above the door.

I would consider adding something with some round shape since everything in this space already has straight lines.

Also bc it is the main light for the entry and what looks like to the lower stairwell as well, you will want something that gets the light down to that level of the steps. Is it dark now on the lower level with that light on?

I would avoid using the overplayed "midmod" lights on the market right now and look for something more authentic if you are keeping most of the esthetic I see here.

They actually used a lot of round shapes, something to consider.

Sorry, posted originally under a different account apparently!

The current light has burnt out bulbs so we haven’t had a chance to see how much light reaches the basement below from it but I’ll haul out the ladder to change them to get a better idea/picture. The good news is the stairs are “open” like in the picture you shared so we know ambient light gets down to the basement below with the large window beside the door.

This is one of the options I was considering (mainly because it’s available locally and not crazy in price) but I’m wondering about what orientation it should go and if the pendants should be parallel or offset for height.

+ I like the direction

- I think it will look like a kitchen island light in your stairwell.

Also open bulbs like that would need to be bright enough but at the same time might blind people white glass globe would be better, even a single large globe pendant.
