Undisruptive Foyer Lighting

4 years ago

Hello everyone,
I would love your advice.
We live in a split level ranch. We’re adding a 10’x18’ foyer to the front. (Stairs are to the far right of the room, not centered.) The ceiling is a bit higher than the ceiling height of the upper floor. The foyer is mostly made up of windows, allowing the outside in. In the top level of the house, we removed the upper half of the walls in the kitchen, so you can look down on the foyer and enjoy the natural light and the view.
I’m reluctant to add a chandelier because it would disrupt sight lines. I don’t want to be in the kitchen looking at a light instead of the outdoors. However, chandeliers arealso beautiful and can so much to an entry way. I’m concerned about the recess lighting providing enough light. What are your thoughts?
