Living room chandelier ideas make for an eye-catching choice. And while traditional cut crystal might come immediately to mind, there’s a world of choice from the classic to the modern when adding this centerpiece to a lighting scheme.

Essentially a branched light suspended from the ceiling, a chandelier can take many forms and use different material combinations, sizes and shapes, making it possible to complement any living room ideas with one of these ceiling lights.

Our collection includes chandeliers for rooms of all sizes and styles and we’ve asked interior designers to talk about their selections, too.

Living room chandelier ideas

Be inspired to include a chandelier in your living room lighting ideas. Our favorite living room chandelier ideas feature those with classic elegance, fabulous sparkle, striking modern lines and more.

1. Reflect the architecture of the room

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

(Image credit: Brent Darby)

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.

real photos, selection rules depending on the style

Lighting in the bedroom should not be as bright as in the living room or in the kitchen, but it should be enough to read a book in the evening or flip through your favorite magazine. When choosing a chandelier, you will have to take into account a number of parameters: the style of the interior, the main tasks of lighting, the size of the room, and much more. To make the right decision, it is recommended to read the advice of designers.

The main principles of choosing a chandelier for the bedroom

The chandelier must match the style of the bedroom interior, and not just serve as a lighting fixture. A chandelier is always a very important design element of a room.

When choosing a luminaire, it is necessary to take into account not only its external characteristics, but also functional features: what switching system will be used, what type of lamps the chandelier is intended for, how brightly it will illuminate the room, is there a system for dimming the light, and so on .

One chandelier in the bedroom is hardly enough to create a cozy atmosphere and get the perfect lighting of the room. You will have to supplement the main lamp with several additional wall sconces, or a floor lamp. You can also use spot lighting, or LED backlights that are now fashionable, which go well with modern interiors.

Chandeliers are usually sold complete with wall sconces, so there will be no difficulty in creating a harmonious combination in a single style. The main thing is that all light sources fulfill their functions 100% and always give a good mood with their soft glow.

Main types

Bedroom chandeliers are of the following types: local, decorative and general. Each type of lamp performs its function.

Local chandeliers - designed to illuminate a specific area of ​​the room. In the bedroom, local lamps are most often installed above the head of the bed, above the dressing table or closet. They emit a soft warm light, and are often equipped with a special mechanism for adjusting the light intensity. Local lamps have the only drawback - their power is not enough to illuminate the entire room.

Decorative chandeliers - their main purpose is to decorate the room. For the manufacture of such lamps, expensive materials are often used, for example, crystal. A properly selected decorative chandelier can completely transform even the most modest room.

The disadvantage of this luminaire is that sometimes manufacturers sacrifice the functionality and convenience of the product in favor of a beautiful appearance.

General lights - installed above the central part of the room. Their main task is to fully illuminate the entire room, and they cope with it perfectly. They can be made from different materials, performed in different styles. The disadvantage is that the light from such a chandelier is not suitable for the bedroom, as it is too bright.

The choice of chandelier depending on the style

The model of the chandelier for the bedroom, first of all, will depend on the style of the interior of the room. It is important to take into account both the general concept of the room and some details: the color of the wallpaper, furniture, layout features, and so on.

Classic

Forged vintage chandelier made of darkened bronze in the form of a candelabra will suit this bedroom interior. The larger the room and the higher the ceiling, the more massive such a lamp can be.

Hi-tech

In such a bedroom, you should choose a creative model of an unusual design, made of glass, metal or plastic. An unusual chandelier will emphasize the ultra-modern style of the room and will be its excellent decoration.

Minimalism

Such an interior is distinguished by its conciseness and simplicity. Oddly enough, a pompous crystal chandelier installed above the central part of the room will help to emphasize these qualities as much as possible. The more complex and fanciful such a model is, the better.

Provence

In such a warm and homely interior, a light, elegant ceramic or glass chandelier would look appropriate. A model in the form of a chandelier with candles and a crystal lamp is also suitable.

Shabby chic

Shabby chic style - a chandelier with a large fabric shade of light color will help to emphasize the elegance of this interior.

Loft

Very often in such interiors the roughest wall finishes are used: red brick, plaster, aged wood. Often, loft-style interiors are chosen for bedrooms. Some people believe that in such a room it is necessary to choose the appropriate chandelier of laconic forms from simple materials.

In fact, the ideal solution would be a luxurious crystal model, consisting of several tiers. Such a chandelier will perfectly fit into such an interior and emphasize its urbanism.

Country or chalet

In this bedroom, it is recommended to place an unusual chandelier, for example, made from natural animal horns. Also, a wooden suspension with forged elements, a fabric lampshade and an aged frame will perfectly fit into the interior.

Features of pendant chandeliers and how to use them

The most popular model at present is the pendant chandelier. When choosing such a lamp, it must be borne in mind that it must correspond to the size of the room. Otherwise, the room will look either too pretentious, or vice versa - too modest and lonely.

In any case, the chandelier should be moderately large and catch the eye as soon as you enter the bedroom. At the same time, the lamp should not be the dominant element of the interior and draw all attention to itself. For example, for a room with an area of ​​​​5X4 meters, it is better to choose a chandelier with a minimum width of 45, a maximum of 90 see

Another important important rule for installing a lamp in the bedroom is that the larger the bed, the more massive the chandelier should be above it. If the bedroom has a narrow single bed, place a light fixture as small as possible in the room.

The height of the chandelier is also very important, that is, the distance from its lowest point to the floor. Calculating the allowable height of the lamp is very simple: you need to subtract 190 cm from the height of the room. The resulting difference will be the height of the chandelier.

Use of modern trendy chandeliers in the bedroom

Modern chandeliers are made from a variety of materials: metal, glass, plastic, crystal. There are fabric and even paper lamps that are great for popular interior styles.

When choosing a chandelier, you need to take into account the general concept of the room - for example, if the bedroom is furnished in a shabby chic or classic style, a colored plastic lamp will look out of place in it. In extreme cases, you can choose a neutral model that will harmoniously fit into any interior of the room.

In modern homes, more and more lamps are installed with LEDs, which are switched on by a remote control. The advantage of this model is that it simultaneously serves as the main source of light and a night lamp, since the degree of illumination in it is adjustable from bright to as subdued as possible.

The choice of bulbs for chandeliers in the bedroom

Nowadays, the problem of saving energy is particularly relevant. Many owners of apartments and country houses have already replaced conventional light bulbs with LED ones, which consume much less energy.

The modern market offers a wide range of energy-saving light bulbs for chandeliers of any design. Their only drawback is a higher cost, however, given the significant savings in the further payment of electricity, such a drawback should be considered insignificant. In addition, energy-saving light bulbs last much longer than conventional ones.

Features of installing chandeliers in different types of premises

When choosing a lamp for a bedroom, you must consider the size of the room and the height of the ceiling. If the room is small, the use of low-hanging and massive chandeliers should be abandoned. Such models steal space, and also create a feeling of tightness and congestion in the bedroom.

It is very important to keep the right balance, because in a normal bedroom both too large and too small lamps will look equally ridiculous.

To visually make the room more spacious and light, designers recommend choosing models with matte or transparent shades that gently diffuse light throughout the room, and at the same time look almost weightless.

In a spacious bedroom, you should install a chandelier with a lot of light bulbs so that it can illuminate every corner of the room. If there is not enough light, you need to place several sconces on the walls. In addition to the size of the room, the chosen style of the interior, which the lamp must match, also matters.

What should be the color of the chandelier

To make the bedroom look harmonious and stylish, designers advise installing a lamp in it, the color of which is the second in the interior. This is a classic concept, but not mandatory at all.

The color of the chandelier also depends on the interior of the room. If the room is furnished in warm colors, this is exactly what the lamp should be. You can choose the color of the chandelier to match the bedspreads, carpets, curtains.

The luminaire can also have a neutral shade that will successfully fit into any stylistic direction - this is metallic, white, black, gray. In classical interiors, a chandelier with gilding will look great, and in modern interiors, a laconic chrome-plated model with a metallic sheen will look great.

The right lamp in the bedroom will not only decorate the interior, but also help create an atmosphere of calm and comfort in it. Since modern manufacturers offer a huge selection of various models, choosing the most suitable option that meets all needs is not difficult.

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.

If you 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.
