Collection: Entryway Chandelier

The size of an entryway chandelier should be proportional to the space. A general guideline is to add the room's length and width in feet, and convert that number to inches for the chandelier's diameter. For example, a 12 by 16-foot entryway would suit a chandelier about 28 inches in diameter. Ensure there's adequate clearance above the floor, typically 7 to 8 feet.

The height to hang an foyer chandelier depends on the ceiling height. For a standard 8-foot ceiling, hang the chandelier so its bottom is at least 7 feet from the floor. For higher ceilings, add 3 inches to the hanging height for every additional foot of ceiling height. If it's over a staircase, ensure it doesn't hang lower than the second floor.

Place the bottom of the fixture slightly below the upstairs railing and keep at least 7–8 ft above the floor.

Lantern and linear profiles fit long, narrow entries; round or tiered pieces look balanced in square vestibules.

For an entryway with 10-foot ceilings, hang the chandelier so that its bottom is approximately 8 to 8.5 feet from the floor. This height provides a balanced look, ensuring the chandelier is a focal point while maintaining ample clearance underneath.

When selecting an entryway chandelier, consider the size and height of the space, choose a style that complements your home, ensure it provides adequate lighting, and select a color and finish that matches your decor, all while keeping in mind your budget and exploring the diverse and elegant options offered by brands like Seus Lighting.

Use a slope adapter or chain mount for angled ceilings. For covered porches or humid zones, pick damp-rated (wet-rated if exposed).
