A suspended fixture has a special role in a two-story foyer because it fills the vertical space as well as the entryway below. Round chandeliers, wagon wheel designs, lanterns, and modern pendants bring attention to staircases, doors, windows, and decorative molding, while nearby lamps add another layer of light. These fourteen ideas offer a range of traditional, rustic, farmhouse, and modern directions.
Brass Glass Foyer Light
A round brass and glass chandelier hangs in the foyer of this two-story space. It draws attention to white decorative molding and stands out against a black arched window. Nearby, a curved black and white staircase connects the foyer with the second floor.
Black Two-Level Wagon Wheel Light
A white arched window frames the two-tier black wagon wheel chandelier. In the foyer, a beige console table holds a lamp in light gray and ivory at its edge, while the table stands beside a white entrance door.
Black Frame Lantern Pendant
A rustic lantern pendant with a black frame and glass hangs above a wood and white armchair in a rustic cottage two-story foyer. A round whitewashed wood side table with black metal legs is paired with the chair.
Black Wagon Wheel Chandelier
A curved black and white staircase with a gray quatrefoil runner leads to the second floor. In the foyer, a black wagon wheel chandelier lights a light wood entryway console table. A glass and beige table lamp sits on the console.
Two Story Black Metal Foyer Pendant
The light blue entrance door has two white sidelights and patterned ivory-and-black candle sconces on either side. In the two-story foyer, a black metal pendant with cylindrical stripes hangs above the stained wood staircase, whose metalwork it complements.
Two Story Black Metal Sputnik Foyer Light
A console table brings stained wood and black metal into the crisp modern entryway, and a table lamp in smoky blue sits on it beneath a white shade. The foyer in this contemporary farmhouse is two stories tall, has a white board and batten accent wall, and contains a black metal modern Sputnik chandelier.
Two-Story Black Glass Lantern Pendant
The black credenza has a beige and black rug adjacent to it, and a rattan table lamp displayed on it has a white shade. In the two-story farmhouse foyer, the walls are white shiplap, the front door has black glass panels, and a black glass pendant light in a lantern form gives off warm light.
Two-Story Black Lantern Entryway Lighting
In one corner, a waterfall hardwood console fills the space under the stairs, with a brown lamp and white shade resting on top. A black lantern pendant lights the staircase fence, which combines light wood with white. Large wall art faces the console, and the foyer has a high ceiling.
Two-Story Brass Beige Chandelier
A traditional chandelier in brass and beige hangs over the light gray foyer. The antique-stained credenza supports white table lamps that provide additional lighting. White wainscoting covers the walls, while white sconces are mounted high over the entrance door.
Black Lanterns for a Two Story Entryway
Dark blue tile in a herringbone pattern covers the floor of the two-story entryway. A black double door leads into the space, where a black lantern pendant provides light. An ivory and white table lamp is paired with the stained wood console.
Black Metal Foyer Lantern
A black metal lantern hangs above the two-story foyer. The entrance is white, with board and batten trim, sidelights, a door, and a window fitted with a plantation shutter, while the light gray walls contrast with it in a subtle way.
Pendant in a White Two-Story Foyer with Board and Batten Walls
Board and batten forms part of the foyer wall. The white foyer rises two stories and carries the same board and batten wall style. A stained wood entrance door sits behind an antique rug with a symmetrical beige and gray pattern. The black and glass geometric pendant is suspended from the foyer and casts warm light onto the rug, while a silver lamp with a beige shade sits on the stained wood, oak-like console table.
The glass pendant is set against the architecture of the two-story foyer. Interior designer Camila Lyons states that natural light passes through the pendant, which provides illumination and serves as a focal point. She also says it complements the architecture and was selected for functional lighting.
Black Metal Foyer Pendant
A baby gate protects the curved staircase and supports family safety. The staircase has turned wood balusters, while a beige carpet runner covers the steps. In the two-story foyer, a bronze-toned metal pendant hangs above and illuminates the staircase.
