Accent Lighting
The second layer of lighting in a space comes from accent fixtures. In the entryway, accent lights are intended to illuminate and highlight the walls and the floor, making the space feel more welcoming. You can add sconces or lamps to achieve this lighting design, and the overall look and feel of your foyer will improve.
When looking at accent lights for your front entry, it’s good to keep in mind how you want the space to function. Will you add a mirror that you’ll use to check your hair before leaving the house? Will there be a coat rack or hooks for jackets, scarves, and hats? There isn’t often much in the way of furniture in an entryway, but if you’re going to add a small table, you could pick out the perfect table lamp.
Your new accent lights should also complement your ambient fixture, whether it’s a chandelier, a pendant, or a flush mount light. You can pick accent lighting that’s in the same style as your ambient fixtures, or we can show you options that work, but maybe aren’t an exact match in terms of style. Ultimately, your entryway accent lights are there to add depth and dimension to the space.
