entry light question

My front door opens to open concept dining/living room. My chandelier is large blue wooden beads. The room is eclectic with coastal, mahogany vibe. What do you suggest for entry light? Thinking maybe rattan?

Comments (2)Hi Lexmom. Our brick is looking great now. My husband mentioned it to the mason and he agreed it was not up to par. They tore down the wall and redid it. I'm so glad we said something. Yes, we have ordered our front door, transom, and side lites, and should receive it in about 3 months. In the meantime, I will email you through gardenweb and you can write me back so I can send you the details. :)...See MoreLight to go with entryway, change out light over stairs
Comments (5)To me it looks strange to have two hanging lights so close - no matter what they looked like. I don't like the look of a hanging fixture in a window from the outside either. How about just a recessed light in the stair well? But I do have one question. Is there a full wall between the stair well and the entry hall or is a half wall or just a railing behind a skinny pole?...See Morequestion on sizing entryway fixture: 10X6 entryway with 8' ceiling
Comments (2)Patricia, This is the one I am now considering. The space must be lit ---the house is a midcentury modern and has a bleached (light) cork floor. Walls are just white. The space is simple. https://www.ylighting.com/maranga-c-ceiling-light-by-marset-R340961.html?utm_medium=pla&source=pla_gg_1353113737&utm_source=google&gclid=Cj0KCQjwiNSLBhCPARIsAKNS4_dEeZdznoHGt9HaimrBjepPDUdgB-kzJS6IwThI_2j-dRvBTsiqbnwaAnETEALw_wcB...See MoreMain entry hallway pot light vs chandelier or flush light
Comments (9)Hi Yun, there are a few questions to consider: - First, from the pics I don't see an existing recessed can "on right side where stair case" - do you mean above the stair case lighting the steps? - From the pic I think the chandelier is placed where I circled in BLUE, and that looks like it will throw to the stair landing (enough in combination with an over-stair light). The question is this chandelier, which is primarily a bejeweled piece for the purpose of wowwing guests at the Entry, looks to only have a switch at the Entry. Because you might want this existing light location for the Powder Room use - would you leave it on after guests have settled, or, during daily use, walk over to the door to switch it on when using the Powder? If daily or Powder use is a concern, then maybe there should be (3) recessed cans instead of a chandelier. And, maybe there should be a 3-way switch from the Kitchen for any hallway lights to get to the Powder. - The closet hallway should have a light as indicated by the GREEN circle regardless of the chandelier situation. - It looks like there is an open doorway frame right at the Kitchen (in ORANGE), so I think whatever you do here in the hallway can be considered separate from the Kitchen layout aesthetically. If I am reading the picture wrong then you may want to consider the Kitchen lighting layout with the hallway. - As far as the CO detector, this is connected by wiring to other units, so it is a little more complicated than just "patch and paint." Depending on where it moves to, it may need a new longer homerun of wire. You can check Ontario code, but for reference per IRC you need at minimum a smoke per floor and COs are at bedrooms, but you probably have a combo which doesn't hurt. Putting them at the stair for each floor, when there are no bedrooms nearby, is competent placement....See More
