How big should a foyer chandelier be?

Add the foyer's length and width in feet — the total in inches approximates the right diameter. Keep at least 7 feet of clearance below the fixture, or hang it centered on a two-story window.

What if my entryway has low ceilings?

Semi-flush and flush fixtures with presence — seeded glass, drum shades, lantern forms — deliver style without sacrificing headroom.

Entryway lighting: stores to compare

The entryway fixture is the first design decision guests see. Two-story foyers take chandeliers and lantern pendants; compact entries do better with semi-flush fixtures and a console lamp. The stores listed here carry entry and foyer lighting across those scales.
