Entry & Hall Lighting

Welcome guests—and guide family safely— with our Entry & Hall Lighting collection. These designer flush mounts, semi‑flush fixtures, pendants, sconces, and ceiling fans are scaled for foyers, vestibules, and corridors, delivering glare‑free illumination that highlights architecture while easing navigation. Every piece uses LED‑integrated engines or LED compatible bulbs for cool‑running, energy‑smart brightness that looks inviting day or night.

Choose from sleek drum flush mounts, lantern‑inspired pendants, sculptural semi‑flush chandeliers, and low‑profile wall sconces—each crafted from premium metal, glass, or resin in finishes such as matte black, brushed nickel, polished chrome, antique brass, and warm gold. Many fixtures feature dimmable drivers, smart‑home readiness, or adjustable rods so heights suit grand two‑story foyers or snug hallways alike. Frosted diffusers, seeded glass, and fabric shades soften glare while casting even light across floors and artwork.

Design pros recommend layering an eye‑catching pendant or lantern in the entry with flush‑mounted fixtures down the hall for consistent brightness and flow. Placing sconces at regular intervals reduces shadowy corners and draws attention to gallery walls or molding details, while mirrors opposite light sources bounce illumination deeper into long corridors. Mixing finishes—say a brass foyer chandelier with matte‑black hall sconces—adds curated depth without visual clutter. Finally, pairing motion sensors or smart dimmers with LED sources ensures safe, hands‑free lighting for late‑night returns and energy savings when spaces are unoccupied.

What is the best type of light for an entryway?

The best lighting for an entryway pairs a welcoming overhead fixture—such as a chandelier, pendant, or semi‑flush/flush mount—with supplemental accent lights for depth and safety. Choose an overhead piece scaled to the foyer (roughly half the width of the space or table beneath it) and hang it so the bottom is 7 ft above the floor or 30–36 inches above a console to maintain clear sightlines. Complement this ambient layer with wall sconces or a small table lamp near the door or mirror to soften shadows and highlight décor. Opt for dimmable LED bulbs in a warm 2700–3000 K range to greet guests with a cozy glow, and consider motion sensors or smart controls for convenience and energy savings. This layered, adaptable approach ensures the entry feels bright, inviting, and practical the moment you step inside.

What is the rule for proper hallway lighting?

A handy rule of thumb for proper hallway lighting is to install overhead fixtures—whether flush mounts, semi‑flush mounts, or recessed cans—every 8 feet (or so) along the length of the corridor, ensuring even, shadow‑free illumination; if the hallway is unusually narrow, shorten the spacing to about 6 feet. Position wall sconces at eye level (roughly 60 inches from the floor) and 6–8 feet apart if you want extra accent or decorative light. Aim for a total output of about 20–30 lumens per square foot, using warm‑white (2700–3000 K) LED bulbs on a dimmer so you can soften brightness at night while maintaining safety and clear sightlines during the day.
