What Chandelier Style is Best for You?
- French Country Chandeliers: Choose them for timeless European elegance, warmth, and character. French-style chandeliers bring timeless elegance to a room, blending graceful curves, antique finishes, and soft, romantic light. Inspired by historic châteaux and country homes, they add warmth, refinement, and effortless charm.
- Candelabra Chandeliers: Choose candelabra chandeliers for a dramatic, old-world French look rooted in historic European interiors. Inspired by traditional candle-lit lighting, these chandeliers feature exposed candle-style arms that create warmth, symmetry, and architectural presence. Candelabra chandeliers are prized for their timeless elegance, soft ambient glow, and sophistication.
- 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.
- Beaded Chandeliers: Choose beaded chandeliers to create an airy, relaxed, and light-filled look. Whether a swag-beaded chandelier with strands or a tiered beaded chandelier, these chandeliers bring earthy charm to a boho, shabby chic, or boho-style home.
- Abaca Rope, Rattan, & Seagrass Chandeliers: Choose beaded chandeliers for an airy, relaxed, 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 French and contemporary interiors and are ideal for formal dining rooms, entryways, and primary bedrooms.
- Tiered Chandeliers: Choose a tiered chandelier to create a dramatic focal point in rooms with high ceilings, where its layered design adds depth, elegance, and balanced proportion to French shabby chic or coastal interiors.

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
- How do I choose the right chandelier size?
Add the room’s length and width (in feet), then convert that number to inches to estimate the ideal chandelier diameter. So if a room is 20 feet long by 14 feet wide, then a diameter of 34 inches would work well. - Are your chandeliers commercial grade?
Yes. The vast majority of our chandeliers are commercial grade, made from high-quality materials and designed for durability and longevity. - 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.
