Fantastic Foyers
Hello!
I'm Jessica, a writer for Arcadian Lighting. Every day I get to write about the latest interior designs, trends, and all the
light fixtures that go with them. Thank you for having me as your guest, Holly!
Today, I'd like to share a collection of beautiful foyers because they are the best place to make a great first impression with guests. Even if you're just returning home from work, stepping into your own fantastic foyer can help the stresses of the day instantly slip away.
I hope you find these foyers as inspiring as I do!
As if an expansive floor-to-ceiling window weren't enough, a gorgeous sparkling chandelier graces this elegant foyer. The black and white staircase is especially sophisticated, too.
The lattice wallpaper and cozy bench give this foyer a charming, feminine atmosphere.
The color palette is particularly chic and modern, as is the large framed mirror.
I love the ceiling in this entryway and the elegant lantern pendant light.
A row of white columns makes such a stately impression upon entering this home.
There's nothing more classic than striped wallpaper and checkered floors.
The yellow walls and floral carpeted staircase is so cheery and friendly.
A bright red stair running really adds a charming accent to this cozy, rustic foyer.
I love the oversized wicker basket of logs.
A perfect marriage of rustic country style and elegance, this foyer also illustrates the beauty of greige. The soft color palette is inviting, while the matching table lamp and wall sconce brings a sense of sophistication.
Plenty of coat hangers and metal bins are a perfect way to keep everything organized when first walking through the door. An extra long bench makes it easy to remove heavy boots during the colder months, too.
This traditional entryway shows off a handsome collection of furniture.
The gallery wall of family portraits is a wonderful way to keep your loved ones present.
Which of these beautiful foyers is your favorite?

Bring the eternal city into your home with this new graphic wallpaper design, capturing the excitement of the 2012 London Olympics.
Graham & Brown launches this illustrative cityscape, featuring London's best known buildings and attractions.
The elegant fashions of the 1950s feature alongside iconic London
landmarks in
Graham & Brown’s new wallpaper design, 'Jubilee’. Launched to celebrate the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, the new design has
been created by surface design & textiles student, Sophie Minal. “I
wanted to capture the atmosphere and style of 1950s London during the
Coronation. Seeing my design go into production and taking the first
roll off the press has been an amazing experience.”
- Sophie Minal,
Designer

Industry Accents
Be a part of this unique journey to find beauty and mystery from our mechanical world.
Industrial Art... a passion for metals, forms, function and cutting edge creativity.
power track table
This
stunning piece is the result of a collaboration between
Chip Gianakos and Mike Nolte of Vanguard
Sculpture.
Designed by man,
made beautiful by nature’s rain, these preserved industrial copper boards tell
a compelling tale of technology, science and beauty. The
fascinating story that these boards tell is intriguing and special. Our
industrial machine took materials ( copper ) from mother nature and crafted
them into an artificial electronic world.
We then threw them away .. in a field .. and nature has begun, in her
own, patient, forgiving way to reclaim what was once hers. Long forgotten, nature has silently and
artfully put an unmistakable mark on our short-sighted, materialistic world.
The
preservation and display of these items not only represents a real world,
tangible rescue of our planet through recycling, but a compelling marriage of
technology and nature. I look forward to
sharing this collection with our community and exploring ways that nature makes
beautiful, our industrial machine.
These copper panels are two-sided with original designs on both sides, allowing for endless possibilities on "wall" options/divides.

Terzani Introduces New Designs/Products for 2012
Three stunning new collections (Argent, Frame and Angel Falls) and two new product designs
(Etoile and Stream) were recently introduced by Terzani at the Euroluce show in Milan.
For
his latest work for Terzani, Nigel Coates, well known for his
unorthodox approach to design, has created an engaging, unique light.
Customizable groups of hand made crystal (24% lead) "Angels" are
illuminated by halogen or LED lamps. What caused these angels to fall
from the Heavens? It's up to the viewers to decide. Either way, Angel Falls is sure to garner attention, and generate conversation in any setting.
A celestial suspension of interwoven nickel-plated metal shafts, Etoile
twinkles in all directions creating a gentle play of light and shadow
for any space. Design by Cristian Lava. Introduction for 2012 is this
large redesigned suspension of Etoile.
Capturing a moment in time, Frame
features a metal coral leaf, enclosed inside a borosilicate glass
preserving a delicate imprint of nature. Hidden inside is a single bulb
which glows from within, creating a stirring light that projects a
dynamic shadow due to the permeable coral. Frame is available in white,
red, gold plated or silver plated. Design by Terzani Lab.
Stream
is an impressive presence in any room. Like Cristian's other works for
Terzani, Mirage and Etoile, Stream's design exploits the physical
characteristics of the materials used to envelop a room in a unique,
immersing light. Here, over seven kilometers of metal chain appear to
flow down from the undulating, nickel-plated frame. These cascading
tiers project a streaking, yet tranquil, shadow throughout the room.
Design by Cristian Lava. Introduction for 2012 is the wall sconce of
Stream.
