How to choose the chandelier

Light Intensity: Will the chandelier provide sufficient lighting for the specific room? For a dining room or living room, you'll need more light than in a bedroom, for example. You definitely don't want to be guessing what's on your plate during dinner. Keep in mind that the intensity of the lighting should correspond to the size of the room and the activities that take place there.

Hanging Height: The chandelier should hang high enough not to obstruct movement, but also low enough to properly illuminate the space. The ideal height above a dining table is 75–90 cm from the table's surface. In a living room, the recommended clearance height (the distance from the bottom of the chandelier to the floor) is 220 cm.

Type of Light Sources: LED, halogen, or traditional bulb? LED technology is energy-efficient and offers various light color temperatures. Warmer light is suitable for living rooms or bedrooms, creating a cozy atmosphere, while cooler light is ideal for workspaces, promoting concentration.

Light Temperature: The light temperature (measured in Kelvin) influences the ambiance. Warm light (around 2700–3000K) is perfect for relaxation, while cool light (above 5000K) has an energizing effect and is suitable for offices or kitchens.

To make the selection as easy as possible, every lighting fixture in our e-shop includes a smart advisor.

It recommends the ideal room size, ceiling height, and the type of space the fixture is best suited for. This makes it easy to determine whether a chandelier is suitable for a dining room, living room, bedroom, or hallway — without complicated calculations or tables.

And if you are interested in how chandelier size or hanging height is actually calculated, we will gladly explain the entire principle in detail.

Even a beautiful chandelier can look wrong in an interior if it is too small or too large. One of the most common mistakes is underestimating the diameter of the fixture — sometimes just a few centimeters can make a room feel unbalanced.

For a simple estimate, you can use this rule:

Chandelier diameter (cm) = 8 × (room length + room width in m²)
Example:Room 4 × 6 m² → ideal chandelier diameter is approximately 80 cm.

Number of arms = room area × 20 ÷ 40
For example, a 30 m² living room usually works well with a chandelier featuring approximately 15 arms and a diameter around 88 cm.

Every interior is different, however. The final result is influenced by ceiling height, interior style, amount of daylight, and additional lighting in the room.

A modern interior is characterized by minimalism, clean lines, and thoughtfully designed simplicity. In such spaces, chandeliers with elegant, understated designs, often made of metal or glass, are ideal.

Urban style stands out with its playfulness and creativity, offering bold combinations of materials and shapes. The perfect choice could be either traditional crystal chandeliers or modern pieces with daring designs.

The glamour and chateau style is the embodiment of luxury and grandeur. Crystal chandeliers are the perfect choice here, elevating the interior to a higher level of sophistication.

The country style brings warmth and comfort to the home. Natural materials like wood and textiles create a cozy atmosphere, where chandeliers are often soft and rustic, enhancing the inviting feel of the space.

Provencal style brings the charm of the French countryside into the home with soft colors and natural materials. For this style, we recommend lighting fixtures with a romantic touch, featuring delicate decorative details, a patina finish, and elegant curves.

Industrial style showcases raw, unrefined materials like metal, concrete, and wood. Chandeliers in this style are inspired by industrial environments, with designs reminiscent of old factory lighting, bringing a strong, bold character to the interior.

Scandinavian style favors natural materials and simple geometric shapes. Smooth glass chandeliers or white metal fixtures fit perfectly into this clean and functional design.
