Lighting Tips & Resources

What are some lighting tips for foyers, halls, and stairways?


General Lighting

Size the decorative fixture to the space. Two story foyers will require a larger fixture. If the fixture can be viewed from above, make sure to select a foyer fixture which looks attractive from second story viewing. Stairways, and halls must have good general lighting for safety. Choose matching close-to-ceiling fixtures for hallways and smaller chain-hung fixtures for stairways.

Accent Lighting
Use matching wall brackets or sconces that match the hanging foyer fixture. Always mount a sconce above eye level, (approx. 66" from the center of the fixture to the floor) so the lamp source is not visible. Make artwork come to life by illuminating with halogen light from track or adjustable recessed downlights.
