How to Plan Your Entryway Lighting — For a Foyer That Makes a Good First Impression

Modern entryway with black door, brown velvet sofa, boucle armchair, timber coffee table.

As the first space you walk into when entering your home, getting your entryway lighting design just right is vital. The entryway should bring in a sense of calm at first glance and lighting plays a big role in this. It's what sets the mood, draws attention to a space, and ultimately highlights the areas you love most.

Entryways also tend to be hotspots in the house and are often thrown into slight chaos at certain times of the day — namely, during the morning rush to get out the door. With all this in mind, it is key to ensure your entryway lighting ideas not only facilitate this space's functional role in providing a transition between inside and out but also help it feel warm and inviting, to you and your guests.
