TL;DR
Ideal Home highlights six chandeliers that offer alternatives or design inspiration for Stacey Dooley’s vintage tiered Murano-glass light. The £399 Next Messina is the closest match described, but it is smaller, weighs 16.2kg and needs a suitable fixing point.
Ideal Home has spotlighted six chandelier options inspired by Stacey Dooley’s tiered vintage light, including Next’s £399 Messina white glass chandelier.

The feature describes Dooley’s dining-room chandelier as a vintage, tiered Murano-glass piece. Murano glass is made by artisans on the island of Murano in Venice, Italy. The article does not give a price for Dooley’s light, and its suggestion that the original likely cost more than £400 is an estimate, not a confirmed figure.
Next’s Messina has fewer tiers and is smaller than Dooley’s chandelier, according to the feature, while repeating the petal-like shape of the glass elements. Its fittings are described as antique brass-finish, compared with the chrome-finish fittings on Dooley’s light. Next also offers the design in amber and green, as well as flush ceiling-light versions, the article says.
The other five options named are the M&S Glass Textured Green Chandelier, Lighting Direct’s Wisteria River Glass Chandelier, and Vogue Lighting’s Chantilly Ribbed 12 Light Chandelier. The feature also points to the Next design’s alternative colourways and flush versions among its six choices. It says the M&S model has dark olive-green glass, while the Vogue Lighting chandelier has a more tubular glass shape but a heavily layered look. An existing Next customer, quoted in the article, described the light as “very beautiful and unique, and very good quality.”
A stylish home update Chandeliers inspired by Stacey Dooley
Six chandelier ideas echo the look of Stacey Dooley’s vintage tiered Murano-glass light. The Next Messina is the closest match described, with practical differences to consider.

Check before you buy
A product listing cannot tell you whether your ceiling is suitable.
Next advises checking that the intended ceiling location can support the 16.2kg fitting.
Confirm dimensions, weight, finish, price and availability with retailers.
A Lookalike With Practical Limits
The feature gives readers a way to take inspiration from a celebrity interior without assuming that an exact replica is available or affordable. The Next option is presented as a lower-priced interpretation, not as the same object: it differs in size, number of tiers and metal finish, and the original is described as vintage Murano glass.
Its 16.2kg weight also makes installation an important part of the purchase decision. Next warns shoppers to check that the intended ceiling location can support the fitting. That advice matters especially for a large chandelier, where appearance and price alone do not establish whether a particular ceiling or fixing is suitable. The article provides no installation assessment for individual homes.

From Vintage Murano to Modern Options
Dooley’s chandelier has featured among the home details that Ideal Home says its team looks to for interior inspiration. The feature also refers to other items associated with her home, including an oversized paper lampshade and a Togo sofa, but those are background examples rather than new product announcements.
The shopping feature frames the Next Messina as a more accessible way to echo the chandelier’s white, tiered, petal-shaped glass. The named alternatives vary in colour, form and scale, so they are not all direct copies. The article describes the Lighting Direct chandelier as a smaller lookalike and the Vogue Lighting option as more closely recreating the layered effect, with a different glass shape.
“Bought this for our front room, it’s very beautiful and unique, and very good quality.”

Price, Stock and Installation Checks
The feature gives the Messina’s price as £399, but does not state when the price was checked or how long it will remain available. Stock, delivery costs and current prices for the other five options are not provided in the supplied article details, so shoppers should check retailers directly.
It is also unclear what Dooley paid for her vintage chandelier. The feature says it is safe to assume the original cost more than £400 because it is vintage, made with Murano glass and larger, but provides no sale record or valuation. The article does not confirm that the Next light is made from Murano glass; it is described as a lookalike with glass pieces shaped like flower petals.
Whether a ceiling can safely carry a 16.2kg fitting depends on the installation location and its structure. The feature does not provide technical installation instructions or assess any reader’s home, so that suitability cannot be inferred from the product listing alone.
Check the Fit Before Buying
Readers interested in the Messina or one of the alternatives can compare the current retailer listings for dimensions, weight, finish and availability. For the Next chandelier, the first practical step is to check that the proposed ceiling position can support a 16.2kg fitting, as the retailer warning cited by Ideal Home advises.
The feature does not announce a launch date, future collection or further product update. The next development for shoppers is likely to be a retailer check: prices and stock may change, and the right choice will depend on the room, ceiling and preferred glass colour. The article’s six selections are presented as shopping ideas rather than a guarantee that every option will match Dooley’s original or suit every home.
