16 Ways to Light Your Home’s Foyer

A foyer is a rectangular room at the front door of the house. The living room, dining room, family room and other public rooms in the house are usually connected to the foyer along with the stairway. It is commonly used for hanging or storing jackets or coats and umbrellas. Also, it separates the heated rooms from the front door during winter season.

Since a foyer is the first thing that guests sees, why not put some lighting there to set a tone for the rest of the house. So, for today’s showcase, we will present to you 16 Foyer Lighting ideas that you can apply to your own home.
