Lighting Design Dilemma entry

Foyer Lighting for 11' Ceiling

5 years ago

Hi! I am in the process of building a new home. The entry foyer is 5'-8" wide and has 2 trays with 11' ceilings. What size light fixture should I put in the trays? I bought 2 light fixtures with these dimensions:
29 H X 16 W X 16 D (in)

Are they too big?

Thank you so much!

Linda

Consider using one light fixture, such as a chandelier. The width should be the length + width of the foyer, but in inches. If your foyer is 5x10, your fixture should be 15 inches wide.

It's more of a hallway than a foyer, I think, at 5'8" wide and 15 or so feet long (?). Two feels right, but then I think they need to be scaled more like hallway lights than like a grand chandelier. 16x16 seems fine, and you have plenty of space for hanging them that long. Should be fine.

Vikrant, is the picture taken from the front of your Entry door? I love your style and pieces. Just a few suggestions if this is the view when you first step into the foyer, I am not an expert! Ganesh in the place of the mirror to greet you and your guests as Goddess Lakshmi is supposedly behind him, will create more prosperity to the household. A recessed focal light from the ceiling to highlight its beauty. Another silver empty frame placing behind Ganesh, similar to the mirror to frame the idol or a Rajasthani silver jali work piece that way the wall behind would not look empty either! The beautiful mirror can be placed where you have the Ganesh now, that way the positive energy coming into your house does not get bounced back or out...

8.75 would be fine to it's only a difference of 3 inches.. Are you going to do up lighting? In the second picture that ceiling is really set up for it and that opens up a lot of options on your finishes and textures on the ceiling.

Very pricey in many areas, and not necessarily an advantage. Hard to heat, cool, light and handle the extra-tall windows. 9-ft. is the added height norm, although one can always add additional volume with a peaked ceiling or similar.
