My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

height of lighting in split entryway

6 years ago

I am looking to change the lighting in my split level entryway for my raised bungalow. I am thinking a hanging lantern or globe style in black. What height should it hang? Should it be at my eye line when standing on the upper level?
