Your foyer pendant light fixture is often the first thing that guests notice when walking into your home, so it is essential to hang it in an appropriate spot. For decor appeal and optimal lighting, the pendant light should hang in the middle of your foyer and not too close to the doorway.
As a rule of thumb, your pendant light should hang no lower than 7 feet above the ground. This is considering you have a standard 8-foot high ceiling. For higher ceilings, use the same rule and elevate the pendant no closer than 7 feet from the floor.
