I also plan on this chandelier in the foyer...

https://www.crystoramalightinglights.com/product/crystorama-primrose-semi-flush-mount-4707-gl.html?page=1

Are you sure the fixture is large enough for your space?

I like the new chests, but think the ceiling fixture could have a bit more edge.

No...I need to exactly measure the foyer...what is the rule of thumb...take measurements and add them. so if my foyer is 20 x 20 the fixture needs to measure 40"?

The problem is the center of the foyer is directly walking access to the house...so the light musn't hang too low...any other ideas?

Yep but also consider the height for scale. What is the ceiling height? You might be looking for a chandelier that is wider than it is high.

And the chests have not been purchased - so if anyone has any other ideas...thank you!

I love how you can do that with the photos....

if the ceiling is only 8 feet than the chandelier can only hang 12 inches down...I think they may be higher...maybe 10 feet

OK since you asked, I don't like the chests. The style isn't consistent with your beautiful traditional home and they aren't really grand enough for the foyer. If you're going to do something twice, make sure you LOVE the statement. If you could post a pic of the entire entry from the front door it would be helpful.

Thank you. I am having a rough time finding something I love...I'm drawn to medallion type chests. Like the idea of a demline.

We have a very large "living room" that I am going to turn into a salon...a nice bar, chesterfield and 2 elegant chairs...Will post pics later of that room and foyer.

I initially wanted something like this:

Love the chandelier!

I Personally would balance them out with a lamp and arranged vase... both slim and tall. And definitely mirrors. Also similar accessories but not too much.

It’s going to be beautiful whatever you decide I’m sure...have fun!

with something like this:

Forgot to hit send and now I see many more chandeliers added that are much more fun! Love the octopus one!!

Eww! I thought Beverly was kidding with those lights. So bad!

Not sure that 21" is wide enough for that chest.

I would look for something that has more edge.

After seeing more pictures LOL I’d like the octopus and Large simple Mirrors, all the color of table trim. I think it would richen it up and make a statement. Maybe too bold for some but with a larger room you need statement.

suzyq53, Maybe this will help you understand my lighting suggestions.

Good designers create artistic interiors with the items selected. Some create realistic 'landscapes' and other create abstract 'landscapes' with their furnishing selections.

It's like the difference between Talbot's clothes and Armani's designs. Both Gray suites, but miles apart in terms of artistic interpretations.

The octopus is a little too much for me...too abstract.

The chests are quite nice, but I'm not sure they complement the items currently in the dining room.

How so? Too Modern? What would you choose in place of? I'm really at a loss...

I'm drawn to something a little more modern...like this...

Even this is pretty...

I guess I don't exactly understand the location of the foyer and the chests as it relates to the dining area. Do you require the storage?

The foyer is a large space with rooms jetting off. I will post more pics. The house is a ranch...hallway to left, family room straight ahead, dining room past the closet doors and large front room entry across from the closet doors.

Maybe something that contrasts with the dining room furnishings? Check Horchow.

I like the tables/chests you've chosen, especially for your large foyer as they have some visual weight to them.

I really like them also...just don’t care much for the gold accent mirrors...

After seeing the rest I agree the octopus is out! Lol

Mirrors over the consoles need to match, or if you use art, do a pair of pictures that are harmonious. What's on them (which should not be much) can be different.

Just back from surgery and took some pain meds so excuse any typos.

Beverly - I guess I like the Armani look best, but I wouldn't want to wear it everyday. I'd put it back in the closet for another time. In a home, you are living with the design. Sorry if I hurt your feelings. And I have the ugliest entry chandelier that looks like a giant spider hanging there.

LL - Just looked at some entry pics and found a lot of pretty ones. You have room for a central table and it would look great in your space. If the chandy is above the table, no one will walk into it. You could still do some seating and consoles on the walls. These are a range of styles and not your layout, but might give you some ideas.

Yes, they basically need to be decorated the same.

They're classically done identically, except as you see below the horses face each other - a balance.

I am very opposed to having a table in the center of the foyer...while it is large - I don't think it's large enough for a center table and I don't want to break up the openness of the space...

I love quatrefoil mirrors too - as well as Sunburst...I'm very drawn to both shapes..

I'm loving this mirror...

https://www.hayneedle.com/product/uttermost-zina-quatrefoil-gold-wall-mirror.cfm?ltype=child&tid=UMC7886-1

Is there a size rule - 2/3 the width of the table...and how much of the wall should it occupy?

And I love this one...

https://www.hayneedle.com/product/imax-minogue-wall-mirror.cfm

Ishack17 - the tables are 42" wide, and the walls are 68 & 73" wide...I hope 24" wide mirror is large enough...I read the mirror should be 2/3-3/4 width of the table it is over...

I like the chest you selected. I like the breck chest suggested by LL even more but I think the one you targeted will blend better with your dining room furniture - admittedly a different style but they are separate rooms and would flow I think. I do not think the accessories have to be identical they just have to balance.

Maureen214 - what Breck chest are you talking about? When looking at the chests - why is everyone comparing it to the dining room? There are 3 rooms that jet off the foyer - family room, dining room and living room...just curious to know.
