Find an eye-catching crystal chandelier for the dining room or entryway. Bring Bohemian chic to your space with a low-hanging beaded chandelier. Get the farmhouse style with kitchen pendant lights. Introduce bold statement lighting with a sputnik chandelier or antler chandelier. Curate the space outside of your home as well with an eye-catching outdoor chandelier. Go with a plug-in pendant or freejack pendants for an affordable and quick upgrade, or consider an LED chandelier to save energy - the options are as endless as your imagination.

What's the difference between a pendant and chandelier?
- - The main difference between a pendant and a chandelier lies in their size, number of lights, and the spaces they are typically used in. Pendants are smaller, single-light fixtures, while chandeliers are larger, multi-light fixtures that are typically used in more prominent spaces. Here are the key differences: Size: Pendants are generally smaller than chandeliers and typically have only one or two bulbs. Chandeliers, on the other hand, are larger and can have multiple lights, often in a tiered or branching arrangement. Number of Lights: Pendants usually have a single light source, while chandeliers have multiple light sources. Spaces: Pendants are versatile and can be used in various spaces, such as kitchens, living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, entryways, and even bathrooms. Chandeliers are more suitable for larger spaces, such as dining rooms, living rooms, and foyers, as they make a more significant visual impact.
Why is a chandelier called a chandelier?
- - The term "chandelier" comes from the French word "chandelle," which means candle. This name reflects the historical use of chandeliers, which originally used candles as their source of light. Chandeliers evolved from candelabra and were invented during the medieval period. They were symbols of luxury and status, often used in palaces and homes of nobility. Over time, chandeliers have evolved to incorporate electric lights, but they continue to be associated with elegance and grandeur.
How should I go about choosing a chandelier for my home?
- - Chosing a chandelier for your home is a personal choice which depends on various factors, including the style of your space, the size of the room, and the height of the ceiling. Chandeliers come in a range of designs, from classic and ornate to modern and minimalistic. When choosing a chandelier, consider the aesthetic you want to achieve, the size of the room, and the height of the ceiling. For instance, larger, more intricate chandeliers might be suitable for spacious rooms with high ceilings, while smaller, simpler designs might be better for smaller spaces or rooms with lower ceilings.
Can a chandelier be hung in a room with a low ceiling?
- - While traditional chandeliers might not be suitable for rooms with low ceilings due to their size and the way they hang, if they are hung over a table this is less of a concern. In addition, there are chandeliers designed specifically for low ceilings. These chandeliers are often more compact and sit closer to the ceiling, providing the elegance of a chandelier without taking up too much vertical space. A semi-flush mount is also a good option if the chandelier is not hanging over a table. When choosing a chandelier for a low ceiling, consider the height of the fixture and ensure it provides enough clearance for people to move comfortably underneath it. If the chandelier will hang about a table, the minimum height of the fixture plus the table height, plus 30-36" must not exceed the overall room height.
