\n

01. Double Sconces<\/h3>\n
\"\"<\/a>
TAMSIN JOHNSON<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

You don\u2019t have to hang an over-the-top chandelier to make a statement with lighting in your entryway<\/strong><\/a>. Interior designer<\/strong><\/a> Tamsin Johnson flanked a shapely mirror with modern, eye-catching sconces to embolden the marble console table<\/strong><\/a> and vase display.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

02. Spherical Pendant<\/h3>\n
\"\"<\/a>
HEATHER HILLIARD<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The circle motif of the bronze pendant speaks to the rounded table and soft curves of the accent chair<\/strong><\/a> in this space designed by Heather Hilliard. The warm tones bring in a nice contrast to the cobalt pieces.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

03. Whimsical Pendant<\/h3>\n
\"\"<\/a>
DLUX CREATIVE<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In a casual, sweet entryway<\/strong><\/a> like this one, opt for a whimsical and bold light fixture that features a unique shape, colors, or material. But keep it quirky, not fancy, so it doesn\u2019t look overly formal in a more laidback space.<\/p>\n

04. Architectural Table Lamps<\/h3>\n
\"\"<\/a>
NICOLE FRANZEN<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This grand entryway<\/strong> <\/a>features elegant, timeless anchor pieces, so the two edgy table lamps on the center console<\/strong><\/a> add just the right dose of modernity (and light, of course). They also mimic the lines of the table, adding to the overall design of the room.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

05. Color-Matched Pendant<\/h3>\n
\"\"<\/a>
BEATRIZ DA COSTA<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Match your pendant light<\/strong><\/a> to your color scheme for a cohesive look. We\u2019re loving the fun, preppy energy of this entryway<\/strong><\/a>, thanks to the light blue and white colors and mix of prints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n \"\"<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

06. Single Sconce<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sconces\u2014especially avant garde and artful ones like this\u2014make for great wall decor while also illuminating the entry. Consider installing one for a subtly offbeat, asymmetric composition.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

07. Chandelier<\/h3>\n
\"\"<\/a>
TAMSIN JOHNSON<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

You can\u2019t go wrong with a classic crystal chandelier. This eclectic entryway<\/strong><\/a> designed by Tamsin Johnson is proof. The blue crystal drops set the entire room apart for a dramatic and bold entrance. Contrasted with a geometric table, fun Art Deco area rug<\/strong><\/a>, and modern photograph, it doesn\u2019t feel overly formal.<\/p>\n

08. Recessed Lighting<\/h3>\n
\"\"<\/a>

Recessed lighting is a good call if you prefer clean, crisp, modern interiors. A geometric grid of framed artwork and a sleek bench<\/strong><\/a> will set a cool gallery-like tone, as in this entry by Heather Hllliard Design.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

09. Flush Mount<\/h3>\n
\"\"<\/a>
TREVOR TONDRO<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A flush mount won\u2019t take up as much vertical real estate as a low-hanging pendant or chandelier, but does add a bit more dimension and allure than recessed lights. Interior designer<\/strong><\/a> Heidi Caillier painted the base of the flush mount the same color as the walls for a consistent look and then added a contrasting table lamp<\/strong><\/a> for extra light and flair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n \"\"<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

10. Light Sculpture<\/h3>\n
\"\"<\/a>
DACIAN GROZA<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If the entryway<\/strong><\/a> opens up to a statement staircase, pay attention to scale when choosing a light fixture. Here, Heather Hilliard opted for a modern sculptural fixture that doubles as art and complements the tall ceilings while also bringing it to a more human scale.<\/p>\n
