The lighting of the entrance must be strong enough to welcome your guests without dazzling them. This room must broadcast functional lighting to enter, go out, put the shoes, take your keys or choose your coat. So many functions where the brightness is important.
For this, you will have to put the main lighting on the ceiling as well as punctual lighting for the cupboard and the enhancement of furniture and other decorative objects.

The overall area of an entrance is about 7 to 8m2, so it is a small room that preferably requires a light colored wall covering, which in this way will develop a feeling of greater space.

We generally advise a luminous diffusion of 1500 lumens for 7-8m2: it is neither too strong nor not enough!



Which luminaries to choose for your entry?


For the general lighting of the entrance and if the height allows it, choose a chandelier or a suspension. Thus the entire room will be illuminated and you will avoid the shadows. For ceilings, a little low, bet on a ceiling lamp.

If you do not have ceiling lighting, opt for directly lighted (downward directed) sconces that will emit a bright, intense light.


In addition to the main lighting and to highlight paintings, mirrors or shelves, the solution of spot beams is ideally suited. On furniture, install a table lamp to direct light (light downward) or semi-direct (light directed in part upwardly and downwardly).
