HOW TO CHOOSE FOYER LIGHTING
Your foyer sets the first impression. Start with scale and ceiling height, then choose the form—lanterns for classic lines, crystal tiers for sparkle, and clean modern frames when you prefer a minimal profile. For statement pieces, explore our full chandeliers or room-specific picks in entryway chandelier styles. For tall voids and stairwells, see staircase chandelier designs.
Size & height: A quick rule of thumb is width (ft) + length (ft) ≈ fixture diameter (in). Keep about 7–8 ft of clearance in walk areas. In two-story foyers, the bottom of the fixture typically hangs slightly below the upstairs railing. More tips here: How to Choose the Right Foyer Chandelier.
Brightness & control: Pair LED fixtures with a compatible dimmer to shift from daytime bright to evening soft. Choose 3000–3500K for a warm welcome that still reads clear, and match finishes to nearby hardware for a cohesive look.
Quick guidelines
- Door clearance: Leave safe space for the door to swing fully.
- Narrow entries: Lanterns or slim linear profiles keep sightlines clean.
- Large foyers: Multi-tier or multi-drop frames fill volume without glare.
