Expert Guide: How to Choose the Perfect Chandelier

To ensure your new fixture looks proportional and functions perfectly in your space, consider these expert tips:

  1. Size and Scale: A chandelier should be large enough to make a statement but not so big that it overwhelms the room. A great rule of thumb is to add the room’s dimensions (in feet) to find the ideal diameter (in inches).

  2. Ceiling Height: For standard 8-foot ceilings, the bottom of the chandelier should hang about 30–34 inches above a table. For entryways, ensure there is enough clearance for people to walk underneath comfortably.

  3. Lighting Ambiance: A chandelier doesn’t just illuminate; it creates a warm, inviting glow. Consider using a dimmer switch to easily adjust the mood from bright task lighting to a soft, evening sparkle.

  4. Finish & Material: Match your chandelier's finish—such as aged brass, polished nickel, or matte black—with other hardware in your home for a cohesive, professional look.

Buying guide
How to Choose the Perfect Chandelier

Selecting a chandelier involves more than picking a style you love. Room dimensions, ceiling height, table size, and intended use all influence which fixture will look and perform best in your space.

Sizing by room
Add your room's length and width in feet — that number in inches is your ideal chandelier diameter. A 12' × 14' dining room calls for a 26" fixture. For open-concept spaces, scale up by 4-6 inches.
Hanging height
Over a dining table, hang the fixture 30-36" above the surface. In a foyer or stairwell, keep the bottom at least 7 feet from the floor. For every additional foot of ceiling height above 8 feet, raise the fixture 3 inches.
Matching your style
Let the architecture guide you. Ornate crown moulding pairs naturally with crystal or candelabra designs. Clean drywall ceilings and modern millwork call for sculptural or geometric silhouettes in aged brass or matte black.
Layering light
A chandelier provides ambient light, but it shouldn't work alone. Add recessed cans or track lighting for task layers and wall sconces for accent — especially in dining rooms and living spaces where mood control matters.

Common questions
Chandeliers FAQ
How do I determine the right chandelier size for my dining table?
Choose a chandelier that measures one-half to two-thirds the width of your dining table. For a 48-inch round table, look for a 24-32 inch diameter fixture. For rectangular tables, a linear chandelier should be roughly two-thirds the table length.
How high should a chandelier hang above a dining table?
The bottom of the chandelier should sit 30 to 36 inches above the table surface. For ceilings higher than 8 feet, add 3 inches of chain for every additional foot of ceiling height.
Can I install a chandelier on a sloped or vaulted ceiling?
Yes. Most chandeliers include a sloped ceiling adapter or swivel canopy that accommodates pitches up to 45 degrees. Check the product specifications for the maximum slope angle, or contact our team for compatibility.
What type of chandelier works best in rooms with low ceilings?
For ceilings under 8 feet, choose a flush-mount or semi-flush chandelier. These designs sit close to the ceiling while still providing the visual presence of a traditional chandelier. Many of our brands offer flush-mount options in both modern and classic styles.
Are your chandeliers dimmable?
Most chandeliers that use standard bulbs are fully dimmable with a compatible dimmer switch. Integrated LED chandeliers specify dimming compatibility in their product details. We recommend a trailing-edge (ELV) dimmer for smooth, flicker-free performance with LED fixtures.
Do you offer free shipping on chandeliers across Canada?
Yes, we offer free standard shipping on all orders over $199, including chandeliers. Oversized or exceptionally heavy fixtures may ship via freight carrier — white-glove delivery with inside placement is available at checkout for select items.
What chandelier brands do you carry?
We carry chandeliers from over 50 premium brands including Visual Comfort, Hudson Valley Lighting, Corbett Lighting, Troy Lighting, Crystorama, Schonbek, Hubbardton Forge, Arteriors, Currey and Company, Fine Art Handcrafted Lighting, and Hammerton Studio, among others.

Absolutely. Our Montreal showroom features a curated selection of chandeliers on display from many of our top brands. We recommend calling ahead or booking a free consultation to ensure the styles you're interested in are currently on the floor.
