Hallway Fit overview
Entry Foyer
A wide entrance that narrows into the hallway beyond.
Entry Foyer
Typical Measurements
Hallway width
42-60 in at entry
Pinch width
36 in where it narrows
Ceiling height
96-120 in
These are planning defaults. Measure your real opening before buying, moving, or booking delivery.
Fit Notes
- The narrowest point past the foyer, not the open entry, sets the limit.
- Use the wide foyer to rotate an item before the hall pinches down.
- Watch a low soffit or stair underside at the transition point.
