The right chandelier can transform any space with glimmering light and undeniable style. Whether you’re searching for the traditional glamour of crystal designs or contemporary showstoppers instead, there are endless options for any room in your home. We’re giving you a tour of the chandeliers that work best for each room in your home and helping you update your interior lighting one space at a time.

There’s no better way to make a dazzling first impression than with an entryway chandelier. Capture guests’ attention as soon as they walk through the front door with a statement-making design that embodies your sense of style.

Large entryways with tall ceilings look balanced with large-scale designs, while smaller spaces are better suited to petite chandeliers instead. If your foyer gives way to a staircase, an oversized chandelier can enhance its overall drama as well as its general safety. Make sure you hang any entryway chandeliers in single-story foyers at least seven feet above the ground in order to give visitors enough clearance. Working with a two-story entrance? Place the chandelier above the second floor for a clean and polished presentation.

Small dining room tables in round or square shapes are beautifully complemented by similarly petite chandeliers. Mix and match these designs with round and square chandeliers, but avoid pairing these tables with rectangular fixtures as a general rule. Rectangular tables work well with linear chandeliers and can handle slightly wider fixtures.

The dining room is also a great place to play with an unexpected chandelier design, like a retro sputnik or futuristic bubble-glass fixture. These naturally make great conversation starters, which is what you want when you have guests over for dinner. Center the chandelier over the table rather than simply in the middle of the room.

When choosing the right size chandelier for your living room, you’ll want to look at both the height of the ceiling and the height of your coffee table. For 8 foot ceilings with 3 foot tall tables, go for a chandelier that’s around 24 inches tall. If your coffee table is 4 ft. tall, choose a 12 inch chandelier instead.

For 9 foot ceilings, 36 inches and 24 inches are best for 3 foot and 4 foot tables, respectively. Don’t go larger than a 72 inch chandelier in a living room with a 12 foot ceiling.

The kitchen demands quality light, and a chandelier is a smart way to brighten up your culinary workspace and add general ambience to this high-traffic room. Because of the nature of kitchen prep, it’s oftentimes necessary to complement a central overhead chandelier with coordinating pendants and under-cabinet lights for the most useful approach to light layering.

Give your master bedroom some serious panache with a dynamic overhead chandelier. From traditional, formal styles to contemporary stunners, there are countless designs that will turn your bedroom into a serene hideaway. High ceilings work well with oversized, ornate, or tiered chandeliers, and dimmer switches give you more lighting control. Large, unshaded bulbs work well in bedrooms that rely on chandeliers for their main light, while shaded designs offer a diffused alternative.

Kids’ rooms deserve great lighting, too. Brighten up your little one’s space with a fun chandelier that appeals to their interests and matches their style. These overhead designs are also a must-have for nurseries, as new moms and dads will appreciate having ample light above a baby’s changing station during diaper changes.

Yes, even bathrooms can indulge in the chandelier trend – as long as the fixture is balanced with the size of the bathroom space. Master baths look particularly luxe with brass or crystal-embellished designs that take center stage, while silver tones can keep things understated and cool. Use a bold design to highlight a claw-foot bathtub or brighten up a vanity. Smaller half baths and guest bathrooms look similarly chic with mini chandeliers that are big on style.

A well-lit workspace is a must for everyday productivity, and chandeliers provide ample illumination while boosting your workflow. No one wants an office that feels stuffy, and the right light fixture can actually make your home workstation more energizing and conducive to creativity. Home offices are prime spots for downlights to shine. Place a multi-bulb style directly above your desk for ample light and plenty of flair.

Every fashionista adores a good walk-in closet, and nothing enhances its appeal more than a glamorous overhead chandelier. Choose a design that matches your overall style – whether that’s luxe, girly, or totally refined. Not only will a chandelier brighten the entire closet space, but it will also make planning your day-to-day outfits that much simpler. It’s the perfect mix of ambient and task lighting, and it’s essential for helping you (and your home) look and feel on-point.
