A foyer chandelier is often the first light a guest sees, and in a two-story entry it has to fill a tall space. That makes drop height, width and the ceiling plate as important as style. Many foyer fixtures come with long chains or individually adjustable wires.

The six chandeliers below range from a lantern style to a cascading crystal fixture with wires over 200 inches long. Sizes, light counts and bulb bases come from each product’s listing page. We have not used these chandeliers ourselves. Material and brightness claims are the makers’ own.

What to Look For

Feature Why it matters
Drop height A tall space needs a fixture with enough chain or wire length
Width A wider foyer suits a wider fixture
Ceiling plate Heavy fixtures need a stable canopy and a sturdy junction box
Bulb base E12 and E26 differ, and bulbs are usually bought separately
