I’m looking to update our entryway fixture. It can either match the dining room one or I can also replace both. The dining room has four cans - two on each side of the fixture. Thanks!

I think the dining area would look more intentional and inviting if you chose a fixture that hung at the standard 30-36" above the table -- if it were me, I would find a light I loved for the dining area then find a complementary semi flush fixture for the entry

Are those two cans next to the dining room fixture? Is the dining room fixture centered over the table? As la_la Girl said, this would look better if it were an actual chandelier. They make something very similar to what you have as a chandelier if you like that style. But if it isn't currently centered you will need to fix that first. Frequently fixtures are sold in collections. So if you get a new chandelier hopefully there will be a semi-flush fixture available for the foyer that goes with the dining room fixture in the same collection.

IMO your DR fixture can be a stand alone onw since it is the star of the DR and does not need to go with the kichen lighting . As for the choice IMO way too early to go there. There is no way to clean a 10x10 island so you need a KD ASAP not your architect or cabinets sales person but an actual independant KD. First get that done then you at least know how many fixtures in the kitchen the DR you need to know your table size and where it will be placed then the electrician can do his job.

The turquoise chandelier is so strong and the chairs are busy, I think you need something lower key to allow the eye to rest.

I think you need to stick to something shorter. Maybe something like the quick mock up below. Also see other ideas. We can help you design a custom chandelier to fit perfectly in your space. Let us know if we can help. sale@galileelighting.com

The dining fixture is way too small. I would replace that one with something larger and lower and actually use a ceiling fixture in the entry rather than one that hangs down like yours is doing currently. If you like the dining fixture, you could move that to the entry. But it's the scale of the dining fixture that is throwing everything off.

Thank you! The fixture is centered but having a larger chandelier would make it look nicer. Do you think something more circular is better? Or more linear?

Either work just great. If you do go with circular, just don't go too large. You don't want it to look too big over your table...36" wide is probably the largest I would think.

Hold on !!! Jeeeeeeessh!

Take pictures of all of your spaces in DAYLIGHT. Clean up all the clutter first, meaning the remains of the meal just eaten. Now.......What is the feel you want in your home? Can't guess from the light you have now which aren't a great marriage. Got an inspo pic of a dining are you love? Is it colorful, neutral, modern , a bit rustic? what? What is the size of the dining table?

Also... before you hang anything over that table, which MAY be positioned in the wrong direction as we can't tell from that picture.........the recessed need to go bye bye. Sorry.......yes as in out.

Do some homework first : )

A rectangular fixture works best over a rectangular table. Hang it so bottom is 30"37" inches above the table. Here's a good article about choosing the right sized dining light: https://www.houzz.com/magazine/choosing-and-hanging-your-dining-room-light-stsetivw-vs~43609

If you want to complement hall light (which seems to be brass finish), then something like this might be good. Again, though, measure carefully. Most fixtures come in multiple sizes depending on your table.

You have a large gray ultra-modern Dining table and a quaint little vintage piece of art in a wood frame on the wall that is not bold enough to balance or complement the table. Find something large and modern to help finish the look of the room.
