The other 2 pics didn't post, here they are.

Gorgeous hallway.

You’ve received some good suggestions. The ones you have look like motel hallway lights.

Hilary, you say you are working on the hall. What are you planning to achieve and in what sort of style?

The Windows and doors are lovely, btw.

Love Carolina's first suggestion. Complement the ceiling light whilst not being too matchy matchy (technical term isn't it?) Lovely hallway. Are you going for a runner or full carpet on the stairs?

Thanks Carolina, really love your suggestions. I had already looked at the 2nd one before but dismissed it as it looked too big for the space. The 1st is beautiful but being silver leaf would that look ok with the existing brass? Maybe the 3rd is the way to go.

Jbtanyderi, yes! That's exactly what they are like. I couldn't put my finger on what it was about them but motel lights it is

E D when I say working on the hall I mean waiting for tradesmen . I am going for a fairly traditional look. LVT parquet on the floor, lime white on the walls with white woodwork and a neutral carpet runner (haven't chosen that yet) with banding on the sides - don't know if that's what it's called. I was just very glad to get rid of the pale blue carpet, peach floral curtains and patterned yellow wallpaper! And thank you, yes the original features which haven't been ripped out are lovely. It's a lovely place to live.

I like them all, otherwise I wouldn't have suggested them, but if you love the first one: you can mix metals. And because it's different from the chandelier, it wouldn't look like a mismatch, I think. Also, it looks like the silver has a bit of a golden shine to it, so it's not totally different. Fingers crossed ;-) Do measure before you buy something.

Some pics with mixed metals:

Excellent, that's really helpful. Thanks Carolina.

Thanks for the recommendation Carolina! We would love to help Hilary if we can. Lighting Company. Contact the sales team for a Promo code!

Sorry, just one more question! Nearly there now but there is a brass chandelier halfway up the stairs. I like this and I was replacing the ufo style lights on the upper landing with downlighters. This was fine on the side hallway (beyond the arches in the pictures) but at the top of the stairs the ceiling is lathe and plaster and the electrician can't put downlighters in. I was thinking of putting something similar to the picture below but would that look odd so close to the chandelier?

Hi, gosh, the upstairs hallway is impressive. Lovely! Did you manage to find wall lights for the hall?

I would go more elaborate on the light, I think. Something with 'candles' too perhaps. I wonder if you can get something similar to the pendant that's downstairs in the hall?

Thanks Carolina, I hoped you'd comment ☺. Yes, I've bought the wall lights with the lampshades you mentioned. So you think the lantern style in the lower hall would work well? Excellent, I'll go and have a look. Thanks.

Oh, lovely :-) How do they look? Any pics?

I've mocked up a couple of different styles for you, so you have a visual:

have to say that I really like this one: https://www.lightingcompany.co.uk/wexley-3-light-pendant-in-heritage-brass-with-glass-surround-p23870

Seems like the brass finish is the same as that of the chandelier?

Nice work caroline

Oh lovely, thank you! Yes, that last one is gorgeous and I think the shape works really well with the other one as well as the finish. No photos yet as the painters just finished yesterday so I'll need to get the other light before the electrician comes back to put all the lights up . Will post up pics soon hopefully.

I didn't really pay attention to the sizes in the mock ups (my bad), so you need to make sure that the size is okay. And specifications say that you need 3 x 60W bulbs for that last one, but that seems a bit much to me?

There are no downlighters under the arches? Or are there?

I like this one too: https://www.oceanlighting.co.uk/pendant-lights-c22/lantern-c49/dar-sen0375-senator-3-light-lantern-pendant-antique-brass-p28838

Difficult to say whether the brass colour is similar to the chandelier or not.

Or this one, if you only need one bulb (but it comes with three bulbs too)

https://www.oceanlighting.co.uk/pendant-lights-c22/lantern-c49/searchlight-7131ab-lanterns-1-light-ceiling-pendant-antique-brass-p1568

Ooo... or this one, if you only need one bulb:

https://www.oceanlighting.co.uk/pendant-lights-c22/endon-eh-tanaro-ab-tanaro-1-light-pendant-antique-brass-p28541

Or this one. Sorry, overload of options? :-) But I do like this one too. And it also comes in a version with three lights https://www.oceanlighting.co.uk/pendant-lights-c22/endon-69784-miele-1-light-ceiling-pendant-antique-brass-p31632

Ooh, more options, thank you. I don't need a huge amount of light at the top of the stairs as the chandelier is very bright so I didn't really need to use the existing one that was there. There is a linen cupboard though to the right of the picture and I do need a light on when looking in there. So the one bulb may actually be enough. So the sizes of lights that you have shown in the pictures should be around the size that I should be looking for? And there are downlighters behind the arches, they're just not switched on in the photo.

I think that something around 30-40 cm should be good. Think that one bulb will be fine.

I really like those two last ones too. What do you think?

I really like the shape of them. It wasn't something I had considered and I love the last one in particular. I also love the lantern one too though and the wexley one. I think I need to sit down and work out all the different sizes and finishes to work out which one will look best. Thanks so much for all your help. I'll post a pic when I get all the lights up.

Good luck :-) Looking forward to seeing the result.

Oh my goodness, can't believe how old this post is! I have finally finished the hall. I really, really love the lights that I bought and were recommended by Carolina - thank you again. They make me very happy every time I walk past. Is that sad? I thought I'd share how the hallway is looking, 9 months on. I was also going to put up the honeycomb light on the stairs but it was proving to be a problem for the electrician so I got him to put it up in the kid's playroom instead and I love that one too.

Excuse the 2 blown bulbs on the light on the stairs, they're a nightmare to change and I've not plucked up the courage to balance on the bannisters again...
