Chandelier Ideas Needed PLEASE

2 years ago

last modified: 2 years ago

My entry way, I would like some input on a chandelier. I will post a picture of my dining area. I have a sputnik chandelier that I think is fun. However, the chandelier in the entry way can not see the dining area chandelier. Below are a couple ideas I have. Please post a link to other possibilities.

Thank you

You are very welcome! If you did move the light, then yes, some drywall repair would be needed. Depending on how far you move it, a medallion could work, but I would be hesitant to use one, as that is a very traditional design element. And from what I can tell, your design style does not seem to be too traditional.

Since you mentioned it is not as far off center as it appears, I think you are probably best off just leaving it where it is. Because the light appears to be centered on the room, the new light will not look out of place. Just be careful of how far down the new fixture hangs. It will look best if you can get it far enough down that it can be completely visible through the window above the door, but not so low that it gets too close to the ledge with the vase and candles.

Best,

Preston

PLease no yellow Edison bulbs ever . I like the first one but all LED bulbs in 3500K since changing the bulbs will be tricky. I like that space to have the light hung so it is seen in the window so remeber thta when choosing too. The light needs to light the space not the ceiling too.

Looks like you will need to move the electrical box? I would want the fixture centered on the window and not on the room.

Hello!

I really love the sputnik chandelier you have in your dining room, and it seems like you do, too! I do not see any issues with bringing that same fixture (or one similar) into your entry space. This will help create cohesion and consistency in your home design. Don't worry about not being able to see between the spaces, it is always good to have similar design elements in all the spaces in your home, whether they are physically connected or not.

I do agree with another commenter that if possible, you should consider shifting the electrical box so the light is centered in the window. If that is not possible, it will still look great! I would just adjust the hanging height of the fixture accordingly.

I hope this helps!

Preston, thank you so much for your feedback. I'm worried the the light there now, isn't directly centered. Will this require me drywalling and all the things? Or could I possibly use a ceiling medallion? Its not as far off center as the picture may appear.

Preston, thank you thank you for your input. This is simply just the entryway, but open to the living space. Possible to email you a picture or video of the space?

What about doing another sputnik type of chandelier for the entryway/staircase as well. Here is a recent design we did for a client that shows the chandelier we used:

A custom chandelier with the glass design you like the most from our collection could be the solution to make sure it is designed to fit perfectly in your space.

Here are some ideas.
