Chandeliers by Style
Chandeliers offer ambient lighting and are typically recommended for foyers, dining rooms, bedrooms or primary baths. When shopping for chandeliers, consider:
-- The recommended height for hanging a chandelier above a dining room table is 30 inches for the lowest part of the chandelier.
-- The recommended diameter for a dining room chandelier is half the width of the table.
-- For other rooms, add the length and width of the room, then convert that number into inches for the ideal diameter of the chandelier.
Follow these three easy steps to get the right size chandelier:
-- Measure the length and width of the room in feet (ex: 12 ft. + 10 ft.).
-- Add the numbers together (12 ft. + 10 ft. = 22 ft.).
-- This number, in inches, is the suggested width of your chandelier (22 in.).
These days, the classic dining room chandelier has a lot of company. Chandeliers can uplift the style and dynamics of any room. That’s why we have options. A linear chandelier can look just as good in your foyer or bedroom as it would in your dining room. Get a modern chandelier to match your home decor or go with a rustic chandelier to create a natural aesthetic.
Rustic chandeliers often utilize wood or wood-look pieces. This style is inspired by nature and ideal for country-style rooms. Rustic chandeliers can also mix well with industrial decor since both styles frequently feature bronze chandeliers and distressed wood accents.
Modern chandeliers use natural materials and can feature exposed structural elements similar to industrial chandeliers. While black chandeliers and white chandeliers are the most common colors in this style, modern chandeliers also often offer bold accent colors and metallics.
If you’re looking to combine the comforts of a ceiling fan with the sophistication of a sleek chandelier, consider fandeliers. Unique in their design, fandelier chandeliers offer a bold conversation piece while providing warm lighting and soothing air flow.
Mid Century Modern chandeliers capture the timeless tradition and past design eras to mix with your contemporary inspirations. These chandeliers feature clean lines and simple silhouettes, and often utilize glass shades and frames. Unique and eye-catching, get the authentic look of a natural antler chandelier or a farmhouse chandelier. Antler chandeliers bring outdoor, rustic charm indoors with authentic-looking antlers.
Chandeliers by Finish & Design
You have so many colors to choose from when shopping for chandeliers. Try a brass chandelier or gold chandelier for an elegant look. Or go for a more modern feel with a nickel or black chandelier. A chandelier is like a piece of jewelry you can use to illuminate and elevate any space. Make it interesting. Art deco chandeliers feature sleek, linear and geometric forms that create a monolithic appearance. Place one in your dining area, or over the island storage in your closet. Candle chandeliers are designed to resemble candles, while cage chandeliers feature a light source surrounded by a metal, wire or wood cage. Drum chandeliers have a center shade that resembles a drum, with a fabric cover that dims the light like a lamp shade. Add a globe chandelier for a touch of geometric design, with clean, spherical lines enclosing lights in the center.
