Foyer & Home Lighting Tips

My name is Brent Shelly with Expert Village and we are talking about lighting design today. So what are the different layers in a typical foyer. Well depending obviously on the size of the foyer, you definitely want to have a strong decorative layer. Maybe a chandelier with a lot of different little sparkley lamps in it or maybe some sconces in that space. A decorative layer is an important layer for that kind of space. Again, we are trying to make that first impression, that magical first impression. You also want to consider accent lighting in a foyer. Typically you are going to have some wall art or some sculptural elements that you want to highlight. Beyond the decorative and accent layers, you are probably going to want an ambient layer as well. This can be handled with table lamps or be handled with recessed down lights in the ceiling. You want to use the layered lighting approach that we talked about earlier and have some decorative lighting, some accent lighting and some ambient lighting in the space.
