Is this foyer chandelier idea way too much
"I need some help before I make an expensive mistake. We just finished renovating our entry with a 20 ft ceiling and open staircase, and at my cousin’s engagement party last weekend I got obsessed with their crazy modern chandelier over the stairs. Now I can’t unsee how empty our foyer looks.
I’m going for modern/clean, not full Versailles, but I do want a “wow” moment when you walk in. Walls are warm white, floors are light oak, railing is black metal. The electrician roughed in a single junction box centered over the entry, but I can still move it a bit before drywall patches get painted again.
I’ve been looking at those long cascading glass/LED cluster chandeliers vs a big geometric ring style. Maybe I’m overthinking this, but I’m worried the cluster will feel messy from the second floor and the ring will look too flat from below.
Couple questions: what size drop would you pick for a 20 ft ceiling, and would you center it over the door or the stairs? Also, anyone ordered from sites like “SeusLighting legit” type places - are these modern fixtures decent quality or better to stick to local lighting stores?"
