Types of Chandeliers We Install
The styles and types of chandeliers available have evolved and expanded over time, and you now have hundreds of options to choose from. Our lighting experts can install these types of chandeliers in homes:
Candle
Candle chandeliers are the most classic, original style of chandelier. They consist of attached candle holders with light bulbs that branch out from a central lighting fixture. The number and styles of the candle holders and the chandelier's material, color, and features may vary. This chandelier style can be romantic, rustic, industrial, vintage, or Victorian, and you have your pick of bulb types and colors for the candle holders.
Crystal
Crystal chandeliers are an elegant, romantic choice for your home’s interior. They come in many forms, styles, and designs. They consist of crystals hanging from a central lighting feature. The number, color, size, and design of the crystals may vary, making this type of chandelier very versatile. It’s easy to find modern, contemporary crystal chandelier designs and more vintage or romantic options.
Drum
Drum chandeliers are very modern and minimalist. They typically consist of one or more round or drum-like shades over light fixtures. They are available in various styles, materials, colors, and designs.
Geometric
Geometric chandeliers are modern and contemporary. They typically consist of metal geometric shapes formed around a central lighting fixture. Common shapes include hexagons, diamonds, squares, and stars.
Globe
Globe chandeliers are modern, minimalist designs. They consist of globe lights formed in a pattern or design hanging from a rod or rack.
Lantern
Lantern chandeliers can be modern, vintage, romantic, or industrial. They consist of one or more lanterns hanging from a chain, wire, bar, rack, or other fixture.
Sputnik
Sputnik chandeliers are a mid-century modern chandelier style. They are created from rods or poles that have light bulbs or globe lights at the ends. These rods are arranged in specific patterns, like a starburst or firework.
Wagon Wheel
A wagon wheel chandelier is a rustic design that uses a wood or metal wheel to suspend candle holders, bulbs, lanterns, or other lighting fixtures. They are often used outside or in large rooms with high ceilings.
Where to Install a Chandelier for Maximum Impact
Before we install a chandelier, we will work with you to determine optimal placement. Installing a chandelier in the right place will have maximum impact on your home’s overall interior design and lighting design. Your chandelier's precise location and height will depend on its size and purpose. The most common places to install chandeliers are:
- In an entryway
- In the living room
- Over a staircase
- In a dining room or over a dining table
- In a bedroom
- Over a kitchen island
- On a covered porch or sunroom
- Over a deck or patio
We will measure carefully to ensure that we install your chandelier at the right height and location to ensure proper function and fulfill its role in your interior design scheme. If we are installing a chandelier over a table or countertop, it should be installed so that the bottom of the fixture hangs about three feet above the surface. However, this is dependent on the height of your ceilings. For eight-foot ceilings, the three-foot rule stands. We recommend installing the chandelier three and a half feet above the surface for ten-foot ceilings. If we are installing a chandelier in an entryway, bedroom, bathroom, living room, deck, patio, or porch, we will need to test different heights to obtain the best lighting level for the size of the illuminated area. The placement of the chandelier installation will also depend on the size. Larger chandeliers may need to be installed higher up to avoid overwhelming the space.
