It's necessary to see more of your foyer/hallway in order to advise properly. Stand at the entry doorway and take the photo from there so we can see not only the ceiling but the floor area.

Looks like your home style might be coastal. The driftwood fixture is perfect for that style but we cannot determine if the fixture is sized correctly for the space with this limited info.

There are other fixtures from the same company in a similar style that are slightly smaller in diamer.

My personal opinion is that if you're paying in excess of $2k for a light fixture...........it should be perfect for the location. Your fixture might look better in a foyer that looks similar to this room.

I think it is too big for the space, something smaller in the same style may work.

If you want the driftwood look, Perigold has this one:

Why driftwood, though, when the kitchen has polished chrome (per your other post)?

First question.........

Who paid and how? If the designer "sold" it to you, bought it wholesale and you approved with signature? You may not be able to return, because she may not be able to return unless a damage,

. Yes It is too big and far too pricey for what I call, theme/fad. lighting. What is the flavor of the REST of the decor? Is this a beach home? Does it relate to other lighting?

If you ordered it, you may, and emphasize th

More important might be a change of "designers"?

You, another post...is she consulting and you are choosing, or she is choosing and you are approving?

Sorry but even the pic is ugly whay driftwood for a fixture at all? Painted driftwood will not help. IMO a poor choice of material for light fixture at all.

I find it difficult to embrace many styles of lighting, so don't mind me. Mine is a complicated relationship. But I'd never get past my first thought of how much it resembles the edging on a ladyfinger cake. I'd probably chuckle to myself every time I saw it IRL. That isn't necessarily a bad thing, but probably not the desired reaction.

Way too big! For hallways, measure length and width of space and divide by 2.

The chandelier would look better over a dining table and you weren't looking up into a hole. The 25" one would look better and probably the correct size. Currey and Company shows how it is white washed. Your does look yellow....maybe the light bulbs are wrong color?

Your designer should know how to choose a chandelier size, BTW.

I think it's too big for that space. Find something smaller than that and it will be good.

You are right to ask if the light fixture is too big; it is. I especially agree with the advice to get a different designer; light fixture size is a basic. And perhaps a new designer can help you develop a more personalized home.

I agree with other posters. It does seem too big and to be quite honest (no offense intended here) it is not an attractive fixture. I doubt painting it would help. Would suggest you bring this up with your designer and discuss options for replacement.

If you don’t like, you never will and if possible, return (or sell), but don’t paint as it’s not only the finish that isn’t great. Have you selected the furniture and accessories and if so, can you advise, so as to receive more helpful suggestions - the big picture is key.

I think your instinct is right — I wouldn’t paint it. The color is part of the problem, but the scale and visual weight bother me more. In this space I’d go for something lighter and more sculptural rather than another large, heavy chandelier.

I recently compared 8 unusual moon-inspired lights, including pendant options and some much more minimal designs. It might give you a few ideas if you decide to replace this one rather than try to make it work:
