What Types of Chandeliers Exist?

Classic chandeliers often provide arrays of hanging crystal prisms to illuminate a room with refracted light.

Contemporary chandeliers provide a more minimalist design that incorporates direct light from lamps or bulbs.

Modern chandeliers tend to use LED lighting and a more modernized design that combines both classic and contemporary features.

Pendant lights are another hanging light fixture option. While considered distinct from chandeliers in frame design and the number of lamps/bulbs making up the fixture design, pendant lights are a popular type of hanging light fixture.

Where Can You Hang a Chandelier?

Almost any room or space can be made to feel more luxurious with the addition of a chandelier. A dining room is a common space to consider hanging a chandelier or pendant light in your home.

Other popular spaces for chandelier lighting include a living room, entryway/foyer over a staircase or lobby, kitchen or over a kitchen island, bedroom, bathroom, nursery, or even your front porch.

Buying the Right Chandelier

While we’ve looked at many of the most popular chandeliers on the market, how can you be sure you’re choosing the right chandelier for your decore?

Before making your final purchase decision, take a look at these important aspects to consider before buying a chandelier.

Location: The location you choose to hang or mount your chandelier will determine which variations of design, lighting, dimensions, and materials work best. Have an idea of the length, width, and height of your chosen room or space before buying a new light fixture.

Style: Whether indoors or outdoors, the style of a chandelier should make sense within its surroundings. A giant vintage candle chandelier will look a bit strange in a modern living space. On the other hand, a smaller 3 light chandelier will look rather silly in a large foyer space!

Dimensions: The size of the chandelier will affect which spaces mesh well with its appearance and lighting. Keep in mind height as well. Will a chandelier flush-mounted to your ceiling look strange and too high up? Or, is the hanging chain long enough for the chandelier size and room size?

Lighting: Just as important as style is the lighting design and quality of the chandelier. Does your chosen chandelier space require a dim, warm glow or bright, far-reaching lighting? Once you’ve got the strength of lighting figured out, think about the design in which the light is emitted as well. For example, a real crystal will reflect light much more eloquently than faux crystal.

Materials: Are you looking for a real crystal chandelier or a blend of glass and acrylic? The types of chandelier materials used can drastically alter the style, lighting capabilities, and pricing. Also, make sure to understand the bulb watt limits, and the types of candles and/or bulbs that can be used with specific chandelier models.

Assembly: What kind of installation process is necessary to get the chandelier up and running? Some larger chandeliers require more time for assembly. You may be better off seeking professional installation. Others require add-on parts or converter kits sold separately for different styles and lighting functionality.

Price: The price of a chandelier is determined by several aspects, including the style, number of lights used, dimensions, materials, assembly process, and brand. Hopefully, the various chandelier comparisons on this site will help you to narrow down and invest in the right chandelier for your budget.
