Lighting for the Entry...

In the entry, lighting should help define your space. Nowhere is decorator lighting used more successfully than in the foyer. Big and bold, or politely refined, the entrance to your home should be warm and inviting.
​Chandeliers...  One of the most important considerations when selecting a chandelier for a specific space is its size and placement. Since chandeliers are designed to command attention or be a focal point, it’s important to get it right. Here are some simple guidelines used by the pros:
  When determining whether to hang a flush, semi-flush, or multi-tiered chandelier in your foyer, be advised that the bottom of the fixture should be at least 2.2 meters from the floor.
  For two-story foyers, if there is a window above the front door, center the chandelier so it can be seen from outside.
If your foyer is extra-large, you may also want to add wall sconces or step lighting.
Spectacular Stairways
No matter if you want formal, glamorous or fun, these designers 
have your sytle. From very contemporary to traditional, 
you can blend with the architectural design of your stairway or 
add personality to a monolithic look. Lighting on stairwells is especially important since recessed down lights won't help. Wall sconces and step lights provide ambient lighting in a space where you need light.

HINT: When you are hanging a pendant at your entrance, be sure not to overwhelm the room and leave at least 2.2 meters from the fixture to the floor. Also, when you have a window above your door, center the pendant with the transom

Amazing Chandeliers!
​  While there are many places in your home for amazing chandeliers, above are just a few examples of the diversity from North American designers.

What is Your Style? Ideas for Entry lighting.

No matter your style, we have it. From contemporary to traditional ... mid-century to neo-classical, there are hundreds of chandelier collections to consider. But there is more. Each one of the chandlers shown below are from families or collections. This means that besides the lighting fixtures presented below, there are also wall sconces, small chandeliers, pendants, flush and semi-flush mounted ceiling fixtures. Maybe there is even a matching outdoor lantern and hanging lantern collection!
  For instance, if you want to hang a chandelier in the entry, then match the fixture with ceiling lights along the adjoining hallway. You can. Or, let's say your entry flows onto a main lounge, you can coordinate the lighting fixtures, including wall sconces.
  Just click on the product code and you will be whisked to the manufacturers website for more details about the collections ... glass options, finish choices and other ways to make your look your own.

LIGHTING IDEA: What is modern traditional lighting? It's a blend and balance between classical design and a contemporary look, joining the best of both worlds. The result turns your room from good to great and your selections will endure the test of time.

Decorative Designer Lighting
and Options for Lower Ceilings

If there is a window above your front door, center your light fixture so it can be seen from the outside. Also, consider how your fixture is going to fit your room. Big foyers are challenging, because these big spaces demand a larger chandelier. Smaller spaces can be just as tricky, especially if your ceiling height limits your options. Consider a semi-flush mount or close-to-ceiling fixtures in instances where a chandelier will not work.
Below are a number of ideas for semi-flush ceiling lights for entries.

For entries with lower ceilings, there is still choice. A semi-flush mount (aka close-to-ceiling) lighting fixture brings a bit of sophistication to your foyer.
