A chandelier sets the tone for the room it hangs in. Browse crystal, modern, farmhouse, transitional and traditional styles from more than 60 brands, in finishes to suit dining rooms, entries, bedrooms and great rooms. Use the size-based collections to narrow quickly, from mini chandeliers for powder rooms to large statement fixtures for two-storey foyers.
Think about the light as well as the look. Many chandeliers are dimmable, and a dimmer switch makes one fixture work for both everyday dinners and special occasions. Check the overall height and chain length on the product page, so the fixture clears sight lines and head height once it is hung.
For sizing, a simple rule works well: add the room's length and width in feet, and that sum in inches is a good chandelier diameter. For a dining table, pick a fixture roughly half to two thirds of the table width. Our guides on choosing a dining room chandelier and pendant lights versus chandeliers will help you decide. We have been lighting Canadian homes since 1996, with price matching and free shipping across Canada from $199.
Frequently asked questions
What size chandelier do I need for my dining table?
Choose a diameter about half to two thirds the width of the table, so the fixture does not crowd the edges. Hang it so the bottom sits 30 to 36 inches above the tabletop, or a little higher with ceilings over 9 feet.
How big should an entry chandelier be?
Add the width and length of the space in feet and use that number in inches as the diameter. In a two-storey foyer, hang the bottom at least 7 feet above the floor and consider a longer chain or stem.
How high should a chandelier hang over a dining table?
Aim for 30 to 36 inches between the tabletop and the bottom of the fixture. Go closer to 36 inches or more if your ceiling is taller than 8 feet, and check the fixture height on the product page.
Can I use a chandelier in a bedroom or bathroom?
Yes, mini and mid-size chandeliers suit bedrooms, closets and powder rooms. In a bathroom, use only fixtures with a damp or wet rating where required, and keep them away from direct water spray.
