Choosing Floor Lamps for Entryways

When guests visit your home, you want them to feel welcome. A good way to achieve this is to start with a well-lit entryway or foyer. Depending on the existing decor in your home, you’ll want to choose floor lamp styles that both match and offer sufficient lighting.

Benefits of Foyer Lighting

Vintage Tripod Floor Lamp w/ Warm Toned Wood, c. 1960Having a stylish floor lamp in your foyer is helpful for several reasons. One, it provides quick lighting when you first enter and need to see where you are placing phones, keys and bags. Two, floor lamps help guests get oriented and allow them a well-lit area to remove their coats or pass a gift to the host. Third, entryway floor lamps are necessary if you have wall mirrors or artwork you want to highlight.

Floor Lamp Styles

Choosing the right floor lamp requires a plan. You want one that offers the right amount of illumination, but also has similar style to your existing home decor. Restoration Lighting Gallery has many great options for foyer floor lamps, including:

  • Vintage tripod with warm toned wood
  • Neoclassical polished silver torchiere floor lamp
  • Elegant brass floor lamp with copper plated rib base

The lamp you choose will depend on the size of your foyer and the space you have to fit one.

Customized Lampshades

You also have the option to choose a custom shade to accent your lamp. Popular lampshade styles include coolie, empire, bell, square and drum. Which one is right for your needs?

Empire lampshades fit almost any decor and work well with wide-based lamps. Coolie lampshades are ideal for Ginger Jar lamps, while bell shaped shades fit well with Victorian lamps. Drum lampshades are great for bringing a modern flair to any room.
