Shop Chandeliers by Style

Modern & Contemporary Chandeliers

Defined by clean lines, geometric forms, and materials like brushed brass, matte black, and smoked glass, modern chandeliers suit minimalist interiors, urban lofts, and new builds. Linear and sputnik silhouettes work especially well over kitchen islands and rectangular dining tables.

Crystal Chandeliers

Crystal chandeliers bring brilliance and formal elegance to dining rooms, foyers, and stairwells. Brands like Schonbek and Crystorama are known for cut-crystal designs that scatter light beautifully, from classic tiered fixtures to contemporary crystal-and-metal pieces.

Traditional & Classic Chandeliers

Featuring scrolling arms, candelabra profiles, and ornate detailing, traditional chandeliers bring a sense of heritage and grandeur to formal dining rooms, entryways, and living spaces where a timeless look is wanted.

Transitional Chandeliers

Transitional designs blend traditional warmth with modern restraint — the most versatile style, and an easy match for the widest range of interiors. If you want a fixture that won’t look dated as your décor evolves, transitional is a safe, elegant choice.

Rustic & Farmhouse Chandeliers

Built from hand-forged iron, natural wood, and lantern-inspired frames, rustic and farmhouse chandeliers create a cozy, high-end look for country homes, mountain retreats, and modern-farmhouse interiors.

Linear & Island Chandeliers

Linear chandeliers spread light along a long axis, making them the natural choice above a rectangular dining table, kitchen island, or console. They deliver even illumination across the full length of the surface rather than a single central pool of light.

Chandeliers by Room

Dining Room Chandeliers

The dining room is the classic home for a chandelier. Center the fixture over the table and choose a diameter roughly one-half to two-thirds the table’s width, hung 30 to 34 inches above the tabletop for a standard 8-foot ceiling.

Foyer & Entryway Chandeliers

An entryway chandelier makes a first impression and sets the scale for the home. In a two-storey foyer, hang a larger or tiered fixture centered in the space (and in the window, if visible from outside), keeping at least 7 feet of clearance above the floor where people walk.

Living Room & Bedroom Chandeliers

Chandeliers aren’t only for dining rooms — a well-scaled fixture adds warmth and a focal point to a living room or primary bedroom. In these spaces, prioritize a comfortable, dimmable glow over maximum brightness, and keep the bottom of the fixture at least 7 feet above the floor in walkways.

Low-Ceiling Spaces

For ceilings under 8 feet, flush-mount and semi-flush chandeliers deliver the same decorative impact while hugging the ceiling, so you keep the style without sacrificing headroom.

Featured Chandelier Brands

We carry chandeliers from many of the industry’s most respected names, including Visual Comfort for designer elegance, Schonbek and Crystorama for crystal, Hubbardton Forge for handcrafted American ironwork, and Arteriors for modern-meets-traditional statement pieces.

How to Choose the Perfect Chandelier

A few proportion and placement guidelines make the difference between a fixture that fits and one that feels wrong:

Size & Scale

For general room scale, add the room’s length and width in feet — the total in inches is a good target diameter. A 12-by-14-foot room suits a chandelier around 26 inches across. Over a table, size to the table (one-half to two-thirds its width) rather than the room.

Hanging Height

Hang a dining chandelier 30 to 34 inches above the table for an 8-foot ceiling, adding about 3 inches for each additional foot of ceiling height. In open walkways and foyers, keep at least 7 feet of clearance beneath the fixture.

Finish & Dimming

Match the chandelier’s finish — aged brass, polished nickel, matte black, bronze — to the other hardware and fixtures in the room for a cohesive look. Pair the fixture with a compatible dimmer to shift from bright task light to a soft evening glow; confirm the fixture and bulbs are dimmable.

Chandelier FAQs

How do I choose the right chandelier size for my room?

For overall room scale, add the length and width of the room in feet and use that total in inches as your target chandelier diameter — a 10-by-12-foot room suits roughly a 22-inch fixture. When the chandelier hangs over a table, size it to the table instead: about one-half to two-thirds the table’s width.

What size chandelier do I need for a dining room table?

Choose a chandelier roughly one-half to two-thirds the width of the dining table, centered over it. For a 42-inch-wide table, that’s about a 21 to 28-inch fixture. Hang the bottom 30 to 34 inches above the tabletop for an 8-foot ceiling, adding about 3 inches per additional foot of ceiling height.

How high should a chandelier hang in a foyer or entryway?

Keep at least 7 feet of clearance between the floor and the bottom of the fixture so people can walk under comfortably. In a two-storey foyer, hang a larger or tiered chandelier so it fills the vertical space, roughly centered in the room and in any front-facing window. For single-storey entries, a semi-flush or smaller chandelier works well.

Can chandeliers be used in rooms with low ceilings?

Yes — for ceilings under 8 feet, choose a flush-mount or semi-flush chandelier that sits close to the ceiling. These give you the decorative impact of a chandelier without reducing headroom, and they’re ideal for bedrooms, hallways, and entryways with standard or low ceilings.

What are the most popular chandelier styles?

The most requested styles are modern and contemporary (clean lines, geometric and linear forms), crystal (formal sparkle), transitional (a versatile blend of classic and modern), and rustic or farmhouse (iron and wood). Your best choice depends on your room’s architecture and the rest of your décor.

Are LED chandeliers energy efficient and dimmable?

Yes — LED chandeliers use far less energy and last much longer than incandescent fixtures. Many are dimmable when paired with a compatible LED dimmer and, for fixtures with replaceable bulbs, dimmable LED bulbs. Check the product spec sheet to confirm dimming compatibility for a specific chandelier.

How do I clean a crystal chandelier?

For light dusting, wipe the crystals gently with a soft, dry or barely damp microfibre cloth. For a deeper clean, a mixture of distilled water with a small amount of isopropyl alcohol gives a streak-free finish — apply sparingly and dry gently. Turn the fixture off and let it cool first, and support each crystal to avoid stressing the arms.
