Elevated Entryways

Elevated Entryways
 

Whether you’re working with a studio apartment or towering townhouse, your entryway sets the tone for the rest of your space. From light and airy to bold and vibrant, the foyer can reveal your design aesthetic in an instant. While flush mount lighting is the standard, higher ceilings allow for pendants and chandeliers as well. On the other hand, wall lighting like wall sconces and picture lights can provide the ideal accent, letting your creativity shine. Keep scrolling for some of our favorite design moments–there’s truly something for everyone.

While this incredible entryway is beautiful on its own, an eclectic flush mount ups the ante. Botanically-inspired, it mirrors the vibrant wall covering and lets guests know they’re in for some fun. The aged brass finish enhances the whimsical design, adding a touch of glamour to this stunning foyer.

If your ceiling height is over 10 feet, a chandelier or pendant makes more of an impact. In this spacious entry, bright doors serve up a sunny backdrop for a mid-century mobile chandelier to shine.
