The chandelier that’s currently in the living room, we actually brought with us in the move. We originally bought it for out last living room but ultimately decided to go without a chandelier for that space. I was so excited to finally hang it! I love the black and brass look with the linen-like shades and it adds the perfect mix of modern and traditional. When it came to swapping out the light in the entryway, I originally thought I would just order the same exact chandelier and have two–one in the living room, one in the entry! From the stair landing, you get a peek at the entryway and the living room (through the Juliet balcony), so I thought it could add some symmetry.

Up until this month, a new light fixture wasn’t in the budget and I told Chris that I just wanted to get the same chandelier we have in the living room. He actually reminded me that during the move the living room chandelier got a bit bent. We had to make some additional adjustments in the arms to shape it a bit more so if we did get a second one it wouldn’t be exactly the same. Part of me didn’t really care but I wondered if it would be one of those things that I always see when I look at them. So we pivoted and I looked for something different that still feels like a sister to the living room chandelier.
I always felt that the old chandelier was too, too narrow for the wide open space but mostly it didn’t radiate much light.
We were going to rent scaffolding for the install, but we were able to borrow a 16′ ladder which did the trick!

I’m so into this radial, tiered, candelabra look and I think it still mirrors the living room chandelier through the black and brass. Different but similar! I’ve honestly never seen anything this whimsical and classy before and it gives off SO much more light, rather than a pillar of light. Additionally, for a two-story entry, having multiple tiers and multiple lights balances out the scale! Plus the curviness of the candelabra and the curved stairway were made for each other don’t you think?
At some point I’d like to add a bunch of sconces to the walls on either side of the door, up the stairs, down the hall… thinking of something with a shade, which makes me love this exposed candelabra look even more.
If you’re looking to add height and drama to any larger, more open space you’re in luck! Here’s a bunch of candelabra chandeliers I love. Always check the dimensions, but I especially love that all of these have a great width!
In case you didn’t know… what makes a candelabra vs. a chandelier is the candlestick-shaped base.

Our wood grain Shaker cabinet fronts were designed for busy, high-traffic homes like ours. Clad with durable textured thermofoils, this line is compatible with Sektion, Akurum, Godmorgon, and Besta cabinets from IKEA. It's the perfect, practical way to add the warmth of wood to all the rooms of your home.
We have teamed up with Loloi to create a line of rugs that are as affordable as they are beautiful. This collection houses a great mix of traditional and modern rugs, in cottage-y colorways, as well as vintage-inspired beauties that you’ll want to roll out in every room.
We partnered with Stuga on a line of hardwood floors — The Ingrid is really livable, and the color is very neutral. It doesn’t lean warm or cool, it’s that just right in-between. We have really loved putting it everywhere in our house. It’s the best jumping-off point for design, no matter your interior style. In addition to being beautiful, Ingrid is really durable — we have three kids, and we always have a home construction project going on. Ingrid stands up to it all.

We recently painted our study a dark, moody green color. This is after we first painted it a muddy green, then repainted it a blue-gray. I guess what they say is true; third time’s a charm! The journey was worth it, though, because I’m so in love with this glossy green in contrast with the […]

I could not love this light fixture more!!
What paint did you use in the entryway? Is there a post that lists all the paint colors for this house?
Thanks!
All of the white paint in our house is white flour by sherwin williams!
😍😍😍. This fixture is just so perfect 👌🏼
This space is so beautiful – love your choices. Is your paint color for the walls and trim posted anywhere?

I feel like this is awesome in person but photographs so much like a magic-eye picture! Can’t wait for those fun IG video perspectives to show how it plays in real life.
Thanks for sharing so much of your thought process. I’d love to learn more about mixing and matching chandeliers like this. I have a living room/dining room that run into each other (though there is a cased opening between them). I’m struggling with what chandelier to use in the LR that complements the one in the DR. My instinct has been to go with a completely different style. I’m worried if I pick a similar style they will “clash.” Perhaps a future post could be pairs of chandeliers if possible, please?
Putting that idea in our queue!
Didn’t you mean “peek” not “peak”? Just a teacher here…
Some beautiful lighting in this post.
It’s stunning Julia! I think lighting is an easy and effective way to “tie in” a floor plan’s decor. This one echoes the candelabras in the living and dining rooms, as well as the brass in the kitchen pendants. And it doesn’t compete with the bubble light in the study. Sorry, I can’t help but imagine this beauty with black balusters on the stairs; but, it works with the white as well!
Still thinking about black balusters too to be honesttttttt
Love it even more than the living room fixture!
AMAZING!!! The absolute perfect choice, Julia. Are we surprised, nooo! Lol!
It’s beautiful! It’s playful and grown up all at the same time. Love it! I’d really like to see some pics at night with the lights on.
