Foyer Refresh

9 years ago

Hi there...looking for advice on how to finish my foyer. Would love to replace the builder chandelier and lights upstairs but not sure what would look best. I've also tried several rugs in front of the door, but can't seem to land on one that I love. Open to suggestions on my blank slate!

Foyers are incredible in that they are the first impression that people will have of your home.

Our recommendation is to add a statement chandelier and possibly a rug or a small ottoman for an inviting feeling. We also recommend decorating the walls so it's not all bare when guests walk in. Give them something to look at and talk about!

Wow...I love the bottom picture. Any suggestions on where to find a rug like that? Where do you think would make sense to put a bench or ottoman?

I like this chandelier for you. A statement piece that is traditional with a contemporary twist. I also like the sphere shape speaks to your round mirror. I'd select the darker finish.

Thanks! One other monkey wrench, we need something that doesn't have exposed bulbs . While I love the orbs, sensitive eyes take priority. What about this Chandelier? We have the RH Harmon pendants and the RH Two Tier Pendants in the next rooms.

Your space is great, and I think all you need are the lights and rug. You can go in so many different directions. Try to find lighting that relates to the style you have in the rest of your house, and a rug that brings in colors you have in your main areas. You could also add artwork to the landing area of your stairs.

I like that first choice the best,with the rug. I think a beautiful open orb dark toned ,with little sparkle would be beautiful
