How to size your foyer light

• To determine the proper width: add the length and width dimensions of the foyer area together.  The number you come up with (in inches) is the proper width for the lighting fixture you need.  Example: if your foyer is 10' x 11' you would want a fixture that is approximately 21" in diameter
• To determine the proper height fixture: the bottom of the fixture should be at least 7' from the floor.  Depending on ceiling height, you could use a flush mount, a semi-flush mount or, if you have a tall ceiling and a big space, you could use a grand chandelier.
• If there is a window above the front door, center the chandelier so that it can be seen from the outside.
