Foyer Makeover – Light Fixture

I’m in the process of giving my foyer a shabby chic makeover and am having a difficult time deciding on a light fixture. My ceilings are low and unfortunately they have that ugly popcorn texture that everyone hates! We are eventually going to have it taken down but are waiting until we can pay someone to do our entire downstairs. Awhile back I scraped off all of the popcorn texture in our master bath and it was a nightmare, so I am okay with waiting until we can pay someone else to do it for us. In the meantime i’m stuck with it, so I am doing my best to take the focus off the popcorn texture and onto the other elements of the room. The problem is, like I mentioned before, I don’t know what Light fixture will create a “grand entrance” and compliment the shabby chic decor scheme I’m going for. I have included some pictures of a few light fixture options that I like and would greatly appreciate your thoughts/opinions on what light fixture will look best. If you don’t love any of the ones I’ve included below and have some additional ideas PLEASE let me know!!  I have also included some of the “before” pics and some pictures of what the foyer looks like today. It is by no means complete, I still have to install wainscoting, add a new rug, decorative accessories and a foyer table (I am going to distress the table that we originally had in the foyer, I plan to post a tutorial on how to distress furniture once I’m finished).

Here are a few photos of what the Foyer looked like Before I started the Shabby Chic Makeover

Here are a few photos of what the foyer currently looks like; it’s definitely a work in process, but so far I’ve painted, added switch plate covers and put up decorative shelves.

 

 

 
Now for the light fixtures, let me know what light fixture you like best. I will say, most of the light fixtures below cost more than I can afford, but this will help me figure out what style will look best that way I can start looking for a cheaper version.
