When your guests enter your home their first impression comes from the entryway. And since you want your guests to be comfortable, your entryway should be warm and inviting. The lighting in your foyer is important because it sets the mood and tone for the rest of your home. An intricately design chandelier can be used as the focal point or accent lights can be used to highlight artwork or photos. You can even use table lamps on a console near the door for illumination. If you want to switch the mood up from everyday lighting to the ambiance of a dinner party install dimmers to escalate the transitions. No matter if you choose a traditional or contemporary style of lighting make sure it provides enough light to make a good impression on your guests.
