The Only Furnishing in Brooklyn Beckham's Entryway is a Stunning Light Fixture, But Somehow, His Space Feels Full – Here's the Secret

No matter the size of your home, every entryway tells a story. In my small apartment, there's a lot to say, and not much space to do it – by which I mean I've crowded the walls with trinkets and photo frames, and used every square inch of storage. Yet the marker of a sprawling home is an echo: a deliberate sense of emptiness that equates to grandeur.

Nowhere is this clearer than in Brooklyn Beckham's former Beverly Hills mansion, which boasts a notably unfurnished entryway. Framed by floor-to-ceiling windows, the room contains nothing but a dramatic light fixture – but somehow, it doesn't feel imposing. Instead, this enormous space is airy, bright, and unexpectedly welcoming.

Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz only owned this breathtaking home for around 8 months – they listed it in 2022 after deciding to relocate from LA to Miami – but I can't get it off my mind. I'd recreate the look using some sleek lighting like West Elm's Piper LED table lamp, but if you have the luxury of space, you can always shop around for a spectacular chandelier. (The Ivy Bronx Baileyton cluster pendant from Wayfair is my top pick.)

It's hard not to notice the lack of furniture in Brooklyn's entryway – I've grown accustomed to my tiny apartment hallway, after all – but I'd say that this is a masterful use of negative space. Brooklyn's home is proof that, even with the luxury of boundless square footage, rooms don't always need to be filled.

Naturally, placing a huge light fixture at the center is a daring entryway idea: too large, and it can introduce a sense of distance, making the space feel more like a gallery than a home. However, the scale of this fixture is perfect, and the light becomes an instant focal point without dominating the room.

In homes as vast as Brooklyn's, transitional spaces like foyers can feel impersonal and even clinical without any furniture at all. Yet this entryway is different: those all-important windows flood the space with warmth and natural light, while framing the landscape outside to help the space feel grounded and welcoming.

Even without furniture, there's plenty of visual interest to be found inside, too. The grained marble floors are complete with glass panels to break up the area (and showcase the rooms below), while the walls feature a weave-like texture which adds a tactile dimension to the space.

While deliberately unfurnished spaces seem easy to achieve, they aren't always successful – but with sparing, thoughtful additions like Brooklyn's light fixture, designers say that empty rooms can become the most impactful.

'When styled thoughtfully, an entryway transforms a transitional space into one of the most memorable rooms in the home,' explains Suzanne Sykes, founder of Suzanne Sykes Interiors. 'It sets a tone of quiet elegance that resonates long after the door closes.'

Here, texture is the secret to an inviting and 'memorable' space.

'The materials offset any impression of coldness within this entryway,' comments Eric Bramlett, a broker and founder of Bramlett Real Estate.

'The black-framed glass provides structure and contrast, helping to define the entry as a separate space without closing it off, while the textured walls soften any hard lines. Combined with the pendant light fixture, these elements set the stage for the entire home, creating a sense of openness, warmth, and architectural integrity.'

I might be accustomed to a cozy entryway, but this magnificent space stopped me in my tracks. It's a reminder that, with the help of lighting and texture, empty spaces really can sing – and they can feel far more inviting than you might expect.
