A spacious entryway can be a curse as much as it’s a blessing. While you have plenty of room to store your footwear, you could include a large mirror or a potted flower – it can appear empty.
If you think about it, all the objects you have in the foyer are in fact more decor than furniture, and they’re mostly designed to take a little space.
If you’re dealing with a large foyer and looking for a way to elevate its design, consider including a striking chandelier.
Large Chandeliers Are In Style Once More
Chandeliers naturally draw the eye upwards, and a statement chandelier can become truly a centerpiece of the room.
This goes twofold for the foyer, where the chandelier is likely to be the most notable object in the room.
While mini chandeliers were all the rage for a little while, we’re back to our roots when it comes to indoor lighting.
The bigger the better, seems to be what modern-day interior designers are trying to tell us.
Foyer Chandelier #1
Starting off strong, consider decorating your foyer with a proper floral whirlwind.
This type of aesthetic-oriented chandelier is more or less only able to work in the foyer because no excess furniture stands in the way.
Residents and guests have enough space to walk around it, and it waits right at the door to wow them.
Foyer Chandelier #2
If your foyer is blessed with a tall ceiling or connects to a stairway, then you may easily afford to be even more extra with your choice of chandelier.
As a matter of fact, enormous lighting solutions in these large indoor spaces aren’t only decorative, but they do serve a purpose.
After all, there is a lot for them to illuminate.
Foyer Chandelier #3
Make sure to match your chosen chandelier to the rest of your foyer’s aesthetic.
No matter how elegant, a chandelier will not have the desired effect if it clashes with the overall style of the room.
Foyer Chandelier #4
For example, this minimalist boho foyer simply wouldn’t benefit from a chandelier of overbearing design.
However, the minimalist black & white triple chandelier in the above picture is in harmony with the whole entryway.
Foyer Chandelier #5
Likewise, a chandelier can be both stylish and unique while at the same time being very simple.
It all depends upon your desires and the overall style of the room.
Foyer Chandelier #6
The color of the chandelier is able to make or break the room. Decide carefully if you want it to bring out the other colors and make them more prominent, or you’d rather have it blend in.
Either way can be beautiful, as long as you keep to the harmony of the room.
Foyer Chandelier #7
While flowy and shiny chandeliers are popular right now, they may not always be the best choice for your own foyer.
If the rest of the objects and decor in the room are on the organic side, a chandelier like the one in the above picture is the optimal one.
Foyer Chandelier #8
At times, sacrificing the wow effect in order to promote the overall harmony of your foyer isn’t a bad thing.
And it may even save you some money!
Foyer Chandelier #9
However, a chandelier doesn’t necessarily have to be too much to be unique.
A modest design can still be plenty elegant and outstanding.
Foyer Chandelier #10
Gentle sequins hanging from the ceiling can do more for your foyer than a striking shape and design.
Foyer Chandelier #11
Create the atmosphere of a micro-galaxy with an interesting chandelier such as the one in the above picture.
Look for a chandelier that includes orbs and a circular design to achieve this.
Foyer Chandelier #12
Crystal chandeliers can create an atmosphere of a vintage idyll in your foyer.
If it’s supported by an equally vintage interior, your entryway may just become the prettiest part of your home.
Foyer Chandelier #13
Vintage can be timelessly elegant or it can be funky.
Which would you rather have in your own entryway?
Foyer Chandelier #14
Utilize the chandelier to support a Mediterranean style in your entryway.
Add a rustic lantern to an entryway with white walls and breezy decor to create the vibe of the Spanish seaside.
Foyer Chandelier #15
Complete the chic design of your entryway with an elegant glass chandelier.
It’s gorgeous at any time of day, but just wait until the sunlight hits it under the right angle.
At that moment, a glass chandelier becomes a proper sun catcher!
Foyer Chandelier #16
It’s raining emeralds in the above entryway!
Though they reflect light beautifully, it’s likely they’re too dark to truly illuminate the room. However, its decorative worth is too great to worry about that.
Foyer Chandelier #17
But what if your foyer isn’t quite that spacious?
Well, you’ve still got the whole ceiling to devote to a stylish chandelier. A grand chandelier isn’t just the one that hangs low from the ceiling.
It can also be the wide one that decorates and illuminates the room as the sun.
Foyer Chandelier #18
Were you searching for a breezy, but yet imposing chandelier for your foyer?
Check out the above one, inspired by leaves, and suitable for various interior set-ups.
It looks lovely in the Art Deco entryway in the picture, but it would also do wonders for bohemian and minimalist spaces.
Foyer Chandelier #19
Perhaps you want your foyer chandelier to be no more than an elegant whisper from above?
Choose a faux candelabra with golden streaks and glass for a breezy touch.
Foyer Chandelier #20
A Japandi touch to a luxurious foyer can make for a gentler space.
It’s primarily a modern space, but also perfectly designed to promote relaxation as you come through the door.
Foyer Chandelier #21
Chandelier or windchimes? Who knows.
It’s beautiful and modern and combines minimalism with vertical lines, which makes the tall ceiling of this entryway appear even taller.
In Conclusion
Use a chandelier to add style and function to your home’s entryway.
They can be bulky and strongly designed so that they provide dramatic light more than concrete illumination.
They may also be breezy and bright, and make your foyer lit and inviting.
