What Chandelier Style is Best for You?
- French Country Chandeliers: Choose them for timeless European elegance with warmth and character. These styles complement French country, farmhouse, Provencal, rustic European, and traditional interiors and work beautifully in dining rooms, kitchens, great rooms, and living areas.
- Shabby Chic Chandeliers: Select shabby chic chandeliers for spaces that call for softness, romance, and a lightly aged aesthetic. Ideal for cottage, vintage, feminine, and romantic interiors, they are perfect for bedrooms, breakfast nooks, powder rooms, and cozy sitting areas.
- Coastal & Beaded Chandeliers: Choose coastal or beaded chandeliers to create an airy, relaxed, and light-filled look. These designs suit coastal, beach house, cottage, boho, and casual interiors and work well in living rooms, entryways, dining spaces, and sunrooms.
- Crystal & Glass Chandeliers: Opt for crystal or glass chandeliers for elegance, light reflection, and refined sparkle. These styles enhance transitional and classic interiors and are ideal for formal dining rooms, entryways, and primary bedrooms.
How to Choose the Right Chandelier Size & Placement
- Dining Room Chandeliers: Choose a chandelier scaled to your table and hang it 30–36 inches above the tabletop for balanced illumination and visual harmony.
- Entryway Chandeliers: For foyers and stairwells, select chandeliers proportionate to ceiling height. Larger spaces can accommodate oversized designs that enhance vertical scale.
- Bedroom & Living Space Chandeliers: In bedrooms and living areas, choose softer silhouettes and finishes to create ambient lighting that complements surrounding furnishings.
Frequently Asked Questions

Add the room’s length and width (in feet), then convert that number to inches to estimate the ideal chandelier diameter. - Do finishes vary from piece to piece?
Yes. Many chandeliers feature hand-applied finishes, distressed details, or natural materials, so subtle variations in color and texture are expected and enhance authenticity. - Are chandeliers adjustable in height?
Most chandeliers include adjustable chains or cords for flexible installation.
Pro Tip: For a designer look, layer your chandelier with wall sconces or table lamps to create depth, warmth, and flexible lighting for both everyday living and entertaining.
