• Does anyone have any suggestions for entrance hall lights? Our current one is ugly, but we've never replaced it out of a lack of imagination.

    1950s semi so low ceilings, small/not grand. General style is mid century with a bit of Pinterest.

    IKEA pricing rather than designer.

    We also need to repaint. We originally just did everything bright white to get rid of the nicotine stains but now wonder if something off white or other neutral colour would be brighter as it might allow for brighter bulbs without being too harsh.

    Cheers.

  • Flos would seem like a good option if you don’t want anything hanging pendant like. A glo ball could work. Or IKEA do a version of the Clara called a Nymane

  • @Tenderloin - cheers for the suggestions. It's hard to get a gauge of whether something like a glo ball would be a bit big and grand in our small hall.

    @chrisbmx116 - I'd have thought a small 5 sided hanging lantern in brass.

    But yes, I can imagine. It's also easy to forget that irl "periods" actually stretch - i.e. a 1930s house would probably have had some furniture and decor from the Victorian and Edwardian eras.

    @hoefla - good shout. Although when we've looked it's all been a bit naff with cheap brass. It's also back to that thing of having something that will give enough light. I'm actually wondering if two lights might be an idea.

    @Howard - unfortunately we don't have anything like the height you'd need for something like that.

    @dbr - do you have any pics of a Robus R60SB in situ? Google image doesn't bring anything up.
