When investing in a chandelier it’s important to consider how the proportions and shape will sit within your living room. In this recent project by Maddux Creative , the large curvaceous bay windows are mirrored perfectly in the circular light, but this happened serendipitously. 

‘The client had bought the pair of antique Vilhelm Lauritzen chandeliers at an auction with the intention of having them in the basement of her home,’ Scott Maddux explains. ‘Given they were quite refined and delicate, we convinced her that they would be better placed in this more elevated and formal room. The glass tinkles as you walk through the space.’

2. Choose a deep color

Create an opulent yet modern living room with walls painted in a rich color teamed with velvet upholstery. As for living room chandelier ideas for a space like this, an antique ornate crystal drop chandelier will take center stage against the block color creating an impact without looking too fusty. The statement chandelier and original architectural features are a nod to the traditional while the dark toned color palette is deliciously contemporary.

If you’re looking for small living room lighting ideas, don’t rule out a chandelier. Small chandeliers with glass shades are ideal for these as well as more informal living spaces. 

This example was sourced from a vintage market by Howark Design for a house in the Greek islands. Creative director James Arkoulis says, ‘We wanted to create a contemporary yet traditional family home which had a wonderful seafront location. The beautiful original floor tiles were the starting point for the design, and we built on this with the vintage chandelier, local Greek fabrics and ceramics which added color, texture, and pattern, while warm tones can be found in the dark wood of the vintage furniture. This felt authentic against the traditional whitewashed walls.’

4. Position a chandelier somewhere unexpected

When planning living room lighting, consider positioning a chandelier in a corner of your living room to create a reading nook rather than hanging it from the center of the room.  One of our favorite ways to make a home look expensive, this quirky unexpected touch will bring light to a dark corner and create a talking point. 

5. Consider colored glass

Fall in love with Murano glass as interior designer Martin Brudnizkii has. ‘Murano glass chandeliers create a beautiful, diffused light which helps create a warm and welcoming atmosphere,’ he says.

‘I am not usually a fan of over-head lighting, but I always make an exception for Murano chandeliers. I loved the colour of this one and thought the elegance of the shape would tie in perfectly with my eclectic living room.’

When budgeting, don’t forget to include the cost to install new lighting along with the price of the light fixture itself.

6. Be bold

Chandeliers are never going to be quiet and reserved, so why not go as bold as you dare? ‘Statement chandeliers are the jewellery of an interior,’ says Owen Pacey, Founder of Renaissance London . ‘A great way to level up your living room is with a grand, statement chandelier, whether that’s an ornate, rococo-style, gilt piece or a contemporary sputnik globe.'

Living room wall lighting ideas can also make a statement, but a chandelier makes such a decision utterly unmissable. This magnificent chandelier filled with natural motifs is an excellent contender to the room’s other bold design features, from the octagonal skylight to the pink rug, all tempered by crisp white walls. 

7. Keep it in proportion

Chandeliers aren’t just for grand rooms, but what are the rules when it comes to the proportions of living room chandelier ideas?

‘You can use a chandelier in any space no matter how big or small,’ says Pacey. ‘It’s all about the design and size of the chandelier that you choose. Keep chandelier designs in proportion to the area.’ In this small living room, an ornate crystal empire chandelier has been scaled down to suit the room, lending the space elegance without being overbearing.

‘Opt for something timeless,’ suggests Matthew Currington, technical director at The Lighting Superstore . ‘Go all out with an eye-catching, classic chandelier to create a focal point for the hallway, above a staircase or in your living room.’

An enduring favourite among living room chandelier ideas is the candle chandelier. It’s a classic silhouette that can be interpreted in all manner of styles, but always adds a sense of elegance to the room. In this space, a beautiful example with crystal pendants makes an unexpectedly seamless pairing with the room’s contemporary decor.

9. Keep it classic with crystal

One of the expert tips for lighting a living room is to consider how light will travel from your fitting to the rest of the room. Crystal has long been a favorite material for chandeliers for its ability to bounce light around any given space. 

‘Bring a refined touch to the living room with a crystal chandelier taking centre stage,’ says Natalie Mann, new product development co-ordinator for Iconic Lights . ‘The elaborate, intricate, and thoughtful design adds a touch of glamour and luxury to the space and creates an instant wow factor. Often associated with the Gatsby era, the timeless design features an assortment of crystals that distribute the light in a mesmerizing fashion, creating a soft and ambient glow.’ 

10. Get modern with a Sputnik chandelier

The chandelier has hundreds of years of history, and has continued evolving all throughout this time. The Sputnik chandelier – named for the famed satellite – is its mid-century modern incarnation, and one of the current living room lighting trends. Embrace asymmetry and dynamism with this one for a faintly space age look – in this room, the chandelier is paired with golden neon for a truly exciting lighting scheme. 

11. Reimagine crystal’s glow

Crystal is a chandelier stalwart because of its ability to refract light around the room – but in a modern scheme, why not think about using reflective surfaces for a similar effect? This living room features Cameron Design House’s Torsa chandelier, which consists of light panels backed with highly reflective, mirror-shine copper, which also helps light travel around the room.

‘The Torsa is the first piece in our collection which incorporates mirrored glass within the design,’ says creative director Ian Cameron. ‘The use of this dynamic reflective material really adds another dimension to the piece and evolves our collection of sculptural chandeliers even further.’

12. Choose a chandelier that doubles as a work of art

When thinking about how to design a living room, positioning art on your walls is always high up the priority list – but what about dangling it from your ceiling instead. Choosing a unique, design-forward chandelier design can see your light fitting double as a piece of sculpture. In this art-filled home in Pimlico, Yellow London fitted the living room with this stunning, bespoke chandelier, for which each drop was hand blown by a glass blower in Devon, England.

13. Get a soft glow with a globe chandelier

Soft lighting is an essential part of bringing together cozy living room ideas, and it’s something that’s perfectly possible to achieve with a chandelier, too. Globe chandeliers which channel light through translucent orbs – like the ones in this example – are great for creating a warm, diffused glow for your living room. Choose an architectural arrangement like this one to keep it feeling fresh and modern. 

14. Give crystal a modern twist

Crystal’s credentials as a functionally sound material for chandeliers have never waned, but you might want to see it in a more modern light in your home. The elegance of crystal is being constantly reimagined into new forms by designers, meaning you can find it in more contemporary silhouettes, like this flushmount-style chandelier, made up of hollow glass tubes. Its simple undulating form adds texture to the neutral living room ideas. 

15. Shimmer with a shell chandelier

It’s true that living room chandelier ideas can feature all sorts of materials, but the best are those which interact with the light itself. Shell materials like mother of pearl are a wonderful addition, causing a shimmering sensation when in contact with the bulb’s glow. While natural materials like this are always great bohemian living room ideas, they can also be used to add a breezy but elegant touch to more formal settings, like with this delicate pastel blue example in a living room. 

Can you put a chandelier in the living room? 

You can put a chandelier in any room of the home which you want to feel elegant and a little bit special. As a result, they tend to be better suited for formal living rooms, as they inevitably communicate a feeling of grandeur, whether simple or traditionally ornate, but there are also chandelier designs that suit more informal spaces. They also make a wonderful talking point for guests, so it’s important to have them in a room where they will be suitably admired and adored. 

OKA ’s co-founder, Sue Jones, believes ‘Lighting is one of the most important elements to consider when decorating a room. It’s not simply a matter of function – a beautiful design will add interest and depth to your space, even when it’s switched off. In a living room, hanging a statement ceiling light, such as a chandelier, directly above your coffee table will immediately draw the eye when people enter.’

How do I choose a chandelier for my living room? 

The first thing you’ll need to think about is size. Oversized chandeliers can work well and, as director of Original BTC Charlie Bowles points out, ‘Playing with scale is a great way to create interest. Grand chandeliers are great for making a statement and creating an impactful silhouette.’ 

If you want to stay a little safer, however, keep your chandelier in proportion to your living room and save the more large scale examples for rooms that are either expansive or with high ceilings. 

When it comes to the style, think about whether you want to run with your home’s period, or create a contrast. A Sputnik chandelier can put a contemporary stamp on a period home, while still acknowledging the house’s history. Alternatively, for a more bohemian look, focus on chandeliers that incorporate natural materials.

(Image credit: Jan Baldwin/Ben Anders/Richard Powers)

Bedroom chandelier ideas will inject timeless decadence into your night-time retreat and turn any simple sleep space into a glamorous boudoir.

As the grand duchess of bedroom ideas , chandeliers are typified as lighting fixtures that hold lamps on a number of branches, although these individual bulbs (or, originally, candles) can often be concealed by elaborate caging. 

While most commonly thought of as a statement feature for communal spaces, there is no reason why your bedroom doesn’t deserve such an indulgence. 

‘A bedroom is a great room to add a chandelier to, creating serious wow-factor,’ says Owen Pacey, Founder of Renaissance London . ‘A great way to level up your bedroom is with a grand, statement chandelier, whether that’s an ornate, rococo-style, gilt piece or a contemporary sputnik globe.’ 

Bedroom chandelier ideas 

Chandeliers come in all shapes, sizes and styles so you’ll need to be sure which variation works best for the room.

Whether you’re looking for bedroom lighting ideas that channel mid-century modernism or the mirrored halls of Versailles, we’ve brought together some spectacular chandelier inspiration and tips from the experts to help you choose the right one. Get ready for that lightbulb moment.

1. Keep it classic with crystal

‘Bring a refined touch to the bedroom with a crystal chandelier taking centre stage above the bed,’ suggests Natalie Mann, New Product Development Co-ordinator for Iconic Lights. 

Crystal is a sublime choice for a chandelier, with both aesthetic and functional benefits that are great for bedroom ceiling light ideas . As well as creating a twinkling centrepiece for the room, crystal prisms have been traditionally used in chandeliers to refract light around the room and enhance impact. 

‘This elaborate, intricate, and thoughtful design adds a touch of glamour and luxury to the room and creates an instant wow-factor’, says Mann of this crystal globe chandelier.

‘Often associated with the Gatsby era, the timeless design features an assortment of crystals that distribute the light in a mesmerising fashion, creating a soft and ambient glow.’ 

2.

 Think carefully about scale – but don’t be afraid to go big

Thought chandeliers were only for stately homes? Think again.

‘You can use a chandelier in any space, no matter how big or small,’ says Pacey, listing it as one of his key bedroom lighting tips . ‘Keep chandelier designs in proportion to the area. For example, if your bedroom is large, pendant lights need to be sized up or even used in clusters.’

While considering the size of your room is important, don’t be put off playing with scale to make a statement. ‘In smaller bedrooms too, you can create a real impact by using an oversized chandelier, or perhaps a flush-style ceiling lamp where ceilings are lower.’ 

3. Stay circular with an empire chandelier

When thinking about how to plan bedroom lighting , consider your room's architecture.

‘Choosing the style of chandelier for a room will depend on the overall interior design and the style that suits the architecture of the property,’ says interior designer Jenny Allan.

‘However, in terms of shape, usually circular chandeliers work better than rectangular ones in a bedroom, as the curves soften the angles of the bed.’ 

Chandeliers are most commonly found with a rounded structure so that they can be enjoyed from any angle, but if you really want to get curvaceous, choose an empire chandelier. This French-originating style is not only based around a core hoop, but sees chains of crystal beads draped around it, pulled into curves by gravity. 

4. Choose a contemporary bedroom chandelier

Glistening clear crystals are effortlessly elegant, but a more contemporary approach might suit your decorative style more. This design has a distinct mid-century feel (and you can find matching designs like this for bedroom wall lighting ideas , too). 

5. Channel Art Deco elegance with a tiered chandelier

The chandelier has hundreds, if not thousands of years of history, but for some 20th century inspiration, put the spotlight on Art Deco.  

As a design era that combined both simplicity and the spectacular, tiered chandeliers channel the period at its most glamorous. You can go all out with an eleven-tier, diamond-shaped arrangement like this one, styled against dramatic dark tones, or keep things a little simpler with a three-tiered fixture. 

6. Champion sustainability with an antique chandelier

‘The aesthetic value of choosing antique lighting is immeasurable,’ says Pacey. ‘Choosing such a piece yourself gives a home personality and life.’

Selecting an antique, or even vintage, chandelier not only makes your lighting fixture unique, but going second hand is good for the planet too. ‘They have such character and a history which is irreplaceable, and of course it has the added benefit of being sustainable.’

This ornate, candle-style crystal chandelier delves into the past to complement its surroundings in a historic farmhouse-style home. 

7.

Swap crystals for modern mattes

Of course, not every chandelier has to be dripping in crystals. This chandelier plays with tradition by employing a classic empire design, but switching glistening glass for opaque, matte beads that resemble white marble.

Hanging above a velvet daybed, this modern take on the chandelier is at the centre of a scheme that updates traditional notions of luxury bedroom ideas .

8. Use a chandelier as part of a maximalist scheme

Forget subtlety, it's time to get extra. Maximalism is in and that is great news for chandelier-lovers. Your bedroom's patterned walls might already be throwing a party with its patterned textiles, but throw in an ornate chandelier at the heart of an all-out scheme and you'll have the shindig of the century.  

This colourful guest bedroom idea pairs a bronze chandelier and its blue crystal beads with a Rococo-style yellow wallpaper, blue upholstered headboard and red throw cushions. The result is quite the soirée. 

9. Get quirky with a sputnik chandelier

The mid-century space race didn’t just put men on the moon, it also gave birth to a whole new type of chandelier.

Inspired by the funky shape of the first ever earth-orbiting satellite, sputnik chandeliers commonly feature straight branches with globe-like bulbs at the end, often held at differing lengths and asymmetrical angles. An even quirkier example than most, this chandelier features multicolored glass lampshades for an arty feel in this modern master bedroom idea .

10. Go boho with natural elements

How do you take a chandelier to the beach? Well, it might be hard to find somewhere to hang it, but it is possible to bring in relaxed natural elements into such a lighting scheme for a bohemian vibe.

In this bohemian bedroom idea , rustic textures lead the scheme from the four poster bed to the woven armchair, while the chandelier completes the sea-breeze vibe by switching a crystal-beaded cage for netted fabric.  

How do you choose a chandelier for a bedroom? 

When choosing a chandelier, it really comes down to three things: size, style and material. Do your research and get to know whether you want an empire or a sputnik, and you’ll then be able to hone in more on the specifics of your style. 

‘Crystal chandeliers work well if you are looking to create a more delicate feminine interior while simple, less ornate options give a more contemporary feel,’ explains Allan. 

Consider the size of the bedroom too. If you want the chandelier to be a detail in the room, keep it at scale with other design elements. If you intend for it to make a room-leading impact, go big. 

Can I put a chandelier in my bedroom? 

Absolutely. It may be that you need to go a little smaller in the bedroom than you would in a large reception room, but it’s entirely possible to make them look great and in-keeping with your style.

‘Bedroom chandeliers should be placed typically at the bottom of the bed or centrally in the room,’ says Allan. ‘It is important that they are not too oversized in that they overpower the space but they do need to be a certain size to give impact. Typically we would go for a light with a 50-60cm diameter.'

How to choose the right chandelier for the size of the room?

How to choose the right chandelier for the size of the room? An excellent guide for correctly sizing a future chandelier based on the size of the room. When choosing a new chandelier, there are some numbers that you should have on hand before buying. Use the data described in this article to determine exactly what size chandelier is right for your room.

In this recommendation, we will tell you how to choose the right chandelier for the size of the room. People only think about how to choose a lamp for a particular room when faced with repairs. Now there is a huge offer of various lamps and it is often difficult for the buyer to understand how to choose a lamp. In fact, there are several points to consider when choosing a lamp.

Formula for determining the optimal size of a chandelier for a room.

Summing up, we can say if you have a 5 by 4 room, then according to the calculation formula (width + length) * 10 we get (5 + 4) * 10 = 90 cm ± 25% for complex rooms, without natural light or in dark colors. There is rather + 30-35% to the size, but it is better to contact our consultants in order to accurately take into account the style and type of lamp when choosing.

1. How to choose a chandelier for the interior.

The choice of a lamp should be approached in the same way as the choice of wallpaper or plumbing, or even stricter, because this piece of furniture is always in sight, it illuminates our home and guests are the first to pay attention to it.

2. Choose lamps for the bedroom.

The bedroom is the place where we rest from what has piled on us during the day. Therefore, as a rule, the chandelier in the bedroom is chosen in soothing colors, but you need to remember about the general style of your interior. Recently, large pendant chandeliers in the classical style are often installed, or vice versa, simple ascetic ones in the Japanese style. If the height of the ceilings does not allow the installation of a pendant lamp, then small ceiling chandeliers come to the rescue, complemented by spotlights located around the perimeter of the room. LED lighting is also often installed.

You should always remember that one chandelier is not able to create an atmosphere of comfort, designers always choose either bedside sconces in the same style as assistants to it (you need to take care of this at the stage of creating a room design to bring out the wiring), or interior table lamps.



3. Lamps for the kitchen.

Kitchen lighting is one of the important points in the overall style of future comfortable housing. The selection of a lamp for the kitchen also takes place according to the general style of this room. Also, when choosing a lamp for the kitchen, the following important points should be considered:

You should always remember that poor-quality work of the hood directly affects what is in the ceiling area, and these are lamps. For example, in a large kitchen, with high ceilings and high-quality smoke extraction, you can use large chandeliers with several glass or fabric shades. Recently, we even notice the installation of luxurious crystal chandeliers, but this is possible only with excellent operation of the hood, otherwise the crystal will quickly become covered with soot and lose its luxurious luster.

Also recently, tire track lights have become widely used. These are fixtures that are installed on a specialized rail and can move along it to the right place without any problems. As a rule, in a modern kitchen, the cooking and eating areas are divided into zones, in which case pendant lights are used to illuminate the eating area, located at a height of 75-80 cm above the table, they should not dominate when you are sitting and not be affected, when you leave the table. They must be effective and invisible.


A great solution for a country-style kitchen will be Tiffany lamps or lamps using wood. Tiffany-style lamps are always in great demand in those houses where the kitchen is small, as well as in country houses, complementing the overall country style with patterns created from multi-colored glasses, with fruit or natural motifs.

We also recommend that you pay attention to the lamps in the castle style, or as they are also called, the lamps in the "Forging" style. As a rule, these are lamps with round fittings and light bulbs like a candle in the wind. Most often in brown or black without shades.


4. How to choose an LED chandelier with a remote control?

Let's first define what is the difference between an LED lamp and a chandelier? An LED luminaire is usually a square or round platform covered with a decorative shade to reduce the powerful light output. A chandelier is a more stylish and aesthetic LED fixture, suspended or ceiling-mounted with multiple shades or twisted fittings with built-in LED modules. One way or another, everything is based on the built-in LED module and remote controls, remote control and built-in drivers and RGB lighting.

So how do you choose the right LED chandelier with remote control?

  1. Decide what suits your room best? If you have a low ceiling, then choose from flat plate-type fixtures adjacent to the ceiling. If the ceiling height is from 2. 7 m, then you can pay attention to the suspended version.
  2. Illumination area and luminaire dimensions. LED chandeliers, unlike conventional lighting sources, have a huge efficiency with minimal energy consumption. For example, luminaires of the Starlight series, with a power of only 60w and a diameter of 50 cm, have a lighting area of ​​14 m 2 up to 24 m 2 because they are dimmable from the control panel or wall switch. This suggests that you need to compare the dimensions of the lamp with the room in which it will be installed, it must harmoniously fit into the dimensions of the room.
  3. The lighting area of ​​an LED chandelier is calculated based on its power. But here lies a small pitfall. Due to the fact that LED chandeliers with minimal dimensions can illuminate a decent area, you need to pay attention to the possibility of dimming. As a rule, a chandelier with a remote control can smoothly reduce the lighting power and change the type of light, from warm white to neutral daylight, up to cold white. By creating the type of lighting you need, which ordinary chandeliers on incandescent lamps are deprived of. The calculation of the lighting area is simple: multiply the lamp power by 8 and divide by 20 (the standard is 20w per 1 m 2 ). For example, an LED chandelier with a Parker coffee CL225295R Citilux remote control with a power of 145w has a lighting area (145 * 8) / 20 = 58 m 2 , but as a rule it is bought for rooms from 20-40 m 2 , precisely because of the ability to adjust the lighting to your taste, and its dimensions are harmonious in such an area. But despite this, in its power it can illuminate a large area.

To briefly summarize all the information, how to choose a chandelier based on the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe room , then when choosing, you need to consider several factors:

We offer you to do it easier, in each section of our website, there is an opportunity to choose a lamp based on the lighting area. Just set the dimensions of the area you need in the range and you just have to choose the lamp you like. For example, here is a selection of pendant chandeliers for lighting rooms with an area of ​​​​12 square meters. m up to 19sq.m

We also bring to your attention a comparative table of the ratio of the luminous flux (lumens) to the power consumption of the lamp (W) for LED lamps, incandescent lamps and fluorescent lamps. On the example of power consumption from 20 to 200 W for incandescent lamps. Lumen is a unit of measure for the luminous flux of a light source.
