Answer
Sconces in a foyer should be mounted between sixty and sixty-six inches from the floor to create flattering, functional light. This height complements the average eye level and ensures even light distribution without glare. Proper placement enhances welcoming ambiance and visually frames entryway features like mirrors or artwork. Keep a clear thirty-six-inch path in the foyer to maintain accessibility and flow. Using warm three thousand kelvin LED lighting with dimmers complements sconce placement for a comfortable, inviting entry space that greets guests warmly.
