Most of these fixtures don't move me much one way or the other. They strike me as serviceable, if a bit fussy. But that's strictly my opinion. And don't forget, I'm the guy who advocates surface mount linear fluorescents in kitchens because they do such a great job of lighting up the room without costing an arm and a leg for either installation or operation. :) Without seeing the room where you're proposing to install these, it's impossible to judge how well they would work. Besides, style is really a very individual matter. I think you're the best person to judge what works best in your home. If you don't feel comfortable making that decision, maybe it would put your mind at ease to invest some of your lighting budget in a lighting designer's help.

This really depends on the height of your foyer or entryway, though a good rule of thumb is to add up the width and length of the foyer in feet to find the ideal diameter or width of a light. For a typical ceiling height of 9 to 10 feet, make sure the bottom of the light is 7 feet above the floor. But since you have an extremely tall foyer, you may hang the light higher. (Info from our light sizing guide)

Our lighting could be a great addition to your home. We do custom lighting so we will be able to work to feed your needs and wants. Different amount/design/size of pendants, and size of canopy and overall fixture height etc. For the spaces you are looking for the lighting, we would recommend mod, kadur, tamar, and maybe nava. Please see some of the images below for reference. We also do 3D drawing before so you can have an idea of what it would look like before committing!

We are currently building a new home with 24 ft ceilings in the kitchen, it has been so hard to find lights that are long enough without splicing the wires for extra length. Take a look at Feiss brand fixtures, most come with 180" cord and you can buy the proper chain length from any lighting store if needed. AllModern is a site that has a search by hanging length which is great as well. I have read that the ideal width will be the dimensions of the room added together, example a 15 x 15 room would be best fit with a 30" wide fixture. There are other theories on this as well but this is the simplest.
