Hall lighting - before & after

I swapped out some "place-holders" with some reproduction 1935 fixtures.

I don't know which is the before and which is the after - I like them both :)

Nice addition. A cool hall light adds a lot to a space where (other than a possible runner) there are few opportunities to decorate. Never leave those cheap builder domes in your hallway!

i like the 1935 repro fittings but do you find it a little gloomy with the light now focused upwards onto the ceiling? or do you also have table lamps?

I love the character the vintage lights add to the space. Good choice!

For those not able to find matching antique reproductions, bell jar lanterns are another popular solution to a hallway like this since the ceiling is high bringing the light down provides better illumination.

Actually the new lights give plenty of light, each fixture holds 5 bulbs, if you wanted to I'm sure you could make the hall as bright as the surface of the sun! That's 10 bulbs in a fairly small space. I have 15 watts in each and I find the combined 150 watts provides an even glow.

Just a quick idea, I would have put up 2 tracks of simple, small track lighting, then you could spot the Pictures or Art work on the hallway wall. You can mix Modern Lighting with your older home, of course have them on a dimmer.
The lights you put up would work better in a Bedroom or maybe even your Living room, they look nice, but I always think of purpose when I install lighting, I took down the one fixture in my kitchen and replaced it with a Track spot with four heads that are focused on my new Kitchen Cabinets and use the Under Counter lighting for task work, its nice to have the spots focused on the cabinets because when I open them I can clearly see what I have, my kitchen is small and so being able to see all the dishes, glasses and Food, I have no pantry. Then when the doors are closed the Track Lighting makes a nice focal point for the kitchen Cabinets.
Just an idea, if you want to illuminate anything on the hall walls, Track spots are the way to go. They even make period looking light heads to go with your home.
Thank you for letting me comment.

I'd love to see a close up with the lights off as well. Those look to be gorgeous Art Deco Slip Shades. The 2 sconces in the living room....were those original to your home, or did you get those later? The look like they might match the 2 hall fixtures.

Either way....lovely!! :0)

@ Janis - wow, strange coincidence, I ordered kitchen cabinets from GKB 20 years ago! They were great!

Hello! Thank you to everyone who have left such nice comments. I'm flattered by your interest in my project. For those who asked to see more pictures I did my best to take some good ones of the new hall lights, as well as the living room sconces and I added pictures of my dining room chandelier as well. All the fixtures are reproductions, The original fixtures I believe were produced around 1935.
