Two staircase foyer - lighting help needed!

8 years ago

Hi! I am looking for an appropriate light fixture for this double staircase foyer and am stuck.


The first image is the "before" pic. the next image is photoshopped with white paneling.


There is now only one light fixture in the center, the carpet is removed, the steps and banister will be a dark stain and the risers and paneling will be white. the walls will be an off-white/grey and the floor is a white with grey marble.


The home is traditional but is being updated to be more transitional-traditional. What kind of light would you suggest here? Thank you!

    I think the idea of a round foyer table with a chandelier above it is perfect for the space. The foyer should introduce you, your style and hint at what is to be anticipated in the adjoining rooms, so we need to know what is going on with the other rooms. What is your furniture style, your color favs, your personal touch? Those things should echo here.

    A single chandelier would work better.

    thanks for the replies!

    Agreed, there is only electrical for one chandelier now since we felt it was a better fit than the two previously there.

    i tend to be more on the traditional side, but simple.

    bathrooms and kitchen fixtures will be chrome... kitchen is attached chrome cage. family room will be oil rubbed bronze 48" chandelier, nook will be wood and bronze mix

    furniture is not selected yet. will be neutrals and some dark pieces

    Select one spectacular chandelier & upgrade the flooring.

    Gorgeous staircase! I agree with above and say a single chandelier with a center table. I've attached a photo of a Kelly Wearstler chandelier that I have used recently for a similar situation and came out stunning. Maybe a dark stain center table to tie in the dark accents?

    thank you all for the feedback and suggestions!

    Stairs were stained today so we're getting closer... I'll post a follow up once it's done :) Beverly, thanks for the mock up!

    thank you Lynartist! Do you have the link to the first chandelier you added in? I'd like to look into it in more detail. Thanks!

    Kat, these are all Currey& Co. if the first on is the Chancellor it comes in two sizes. Just in case you are seeing these differently I’ll just post all of these.

    Kat, here is the larger one; it’s very big and$$$! Here are the stats on both. The smaller would be too small I think:(

    It helps to see them in rooms I think.
