    Can anyone recommend a place to find interesting light fixtures like the one I have attached. The type you might place in your hall way. I was interested in the piece I attached but was shocked at the price.

    What would people be prepared to pay for the attached piece assuming you like it.

    Im guessing that it would cost at least €150 - €200 for something like that?

    Have you done this? Any examples of your work?

    I'm a big fan of Ikea and we have plenty of it in our house. Have a pendant fixture in the kitchen that is really suitable but haven't seen anything there that would work as a marque fixture for the entry way.

    I ended up getting the attached piece and paying a wad for it. I justified it by going to a fair few lighting shops, seeing that everything was expensive and not seeing anything we liked.

    I bought 2 Ikea lights and modifed both of them to make 1 large nice light fitting out of the 2 of them for the master bedroom.
