Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right size chandelier for my room?

A common guideline: Add the room's length + width (in feet) to get a suggested diameter (in inches). For example, a 12ft + 14ft room = ~26-inch diameter fixture.

How high should I hang my chandelier?

Over a dining table, the bottom of the chandelier should hang 30-36 inches above the tabletop. In living areas or foyers, ensure at least 7 feet of clearance between the floor and the bottom of the fixture.

What's the difference between a modern and a traditional chandelier?

Traditional chandeliers typically feature curved arms, candle-style lights, and finishes like bronze or brass. Modern chandeliers emphasize clean lines, geometric shapes (like Sputnik or ring designs), and minimalist finishes.

Can I put a chandelier in my kitchen?

Yes! A chandelier is a great way to add style and ambient light to a kitchen. Linear chandeliers are popular over islands, and mini-chandeliers are perfect for breakfast nooks.

What is a "Sputnik" chandelier?

A Sputnik chandelier is a popular mid-century modern design with a central orb and many arms radiating outwards, resembling a starburst or satellite. It's a bold focal point in any room.
