No, you should match the stainless/nickel color of your door hardware and mailbox. But you can surely do something more interesting/contemporary.

Cute townhouse!

@acm is 100% on target. You could not go wrong with any of those light fixtures. Just be sure it fits properly.

Sweet house it will sell quickly.

I rather like the design of your light fixture. It isn't the 'lantern' you see EVERYWHERE! Perhaps you could spray paint it to match your other metals.

You should match it to your mailbox and make it at least as big as the mailbox. Choose a sleek style.

Whatever you decide on, be sure it suits the mailbox and door especially. Where you might run into an issue is the width, given how close it is to the edge.

Also consider adding a complementary mat, as it will help to create a good first impression.

Oooh size is a good point ! Will have to check and measure. so it seems consensus is silver to match mailbox.

i love the first silver lantern posted but dont want to spend too much money since im leaving ! Will look around
