Collection: Foyer & Entryway Lighting

Welcome Home: Foyer & Entryway Lighting

The foyer is your home's handshake—it's the first space guests see and the area that welcomes you home each day. The lighting you choose for this space is paramount, as it single-handedly sets the tone, style, and warmth for your entire home. A well-lit entryway is not just about safety and visibility; it's your first and best opportunity to make a lasting impression and express your personal style.

The Role of Light in Your Entryway

Foyer lighting needs to be both beautiful and functional. It should provide ample ambient light to illuminate the entire area, ensuring there are no dark corners. This is also the space to make a bold statement. Whether you have a grand two-story entry or a more modest foyer, the central light fixture serves as the anchor for your home's design. This is often supplemented by accent lighting, like wall sconces, to add layers and warmth.

Types of Foyer & Entryway Light Fixtures

• Chandeliers: The ultimate statement piece for foyers with high ceilings. A chandelier immediately adds a sense of elegance and drama, creating a memorable focal point.
• Pendants: Highly versatile, pendants work in entryways of all sizes. A large-scale pendant can have the same impact as a chandelier, while a smaller one can be perfect for a more compact space.
• Flush & Semi-Flush Mounts: The ideal solution for foyers with standard or low ceilings. These fixtures provide plenty of ambient light without compromising headroom, keeping the space feeling open and bright.
• Wall Sconces: Perfect for layering light and adding a touch of symmetry. Install sconces on either side of the front door, a console table, or a large mirror to create a balanced and welcoming glow.
• Recessed Lighting: Use recessed lights to supplement your main fixture, ensuring all corners of the foyer are well-lit, or to highlight architectural details.

Sizing and Placement Tips

• Height: The bottom of your fixture should be at least 7 feet from the floor to allow for clearance. In a two-story foyer, the fixture should hang at roughly the level of the second floor, so it's visible from both levels.
• Diameter: To find a suitable diameter for your fixture, add the length and width of the foyer in feet. The sum is a good guideline for the diameter of the fixture in inches (e.g., a 12' x 14' foyer = 26', so look for a 26" diameter fixture).
