How big should a 2 story foyer light be?

[happyduck881]

For example, a 10-foot high foyer ceiling calls for a chandelier that is 20 to 30 inches in height. A foyer with a 16-foot high ceiling (two-story) could comfortably handle a large chandelier 32 to 48 inches in height.

A chandelier would be a perfect fit when there is at least 3 feet of space available. To determine the size of chandelier, add the length and width (sq. feet) of the foyer and convert to inches. [For example – a 10 by 12 foot foyer would require a 22 inch wide fixture].

Beside above, how do I choose an entryway light? Choose a fixture thats proportional to the space of the entryway. For example, if your entryway has 75 square feet of space or more, look for a chandelier with a diameter of at least 12 to 18. Smaller entryways look better with smaller chandeliers unless you want the fixture to serve as a focal point.

Similarly, how high should a chandelier hang in a 2 story foyer?

5 feet
