What size chandelier do I need for my room?
What size chandelier do I need for my room?
A simple rule: add the length and width of the room in feet; the total, in inches, gives a good starting diameter for your chandelier. For example, a 12 x 14 ft room suits a chandelier of about 26 inches (66 cm) wide. See our Size Guide for room-by-room advice.

What size chandelier for a dining table?
Choose a diameter between half and two-thirds of the width of your table, and leave at least 15 cm between the chandelier and the edge of the table on each side.
How high should I hang a chandelier?
How high should I hang a chandelier?
Over a dining table, the bottom of the chandelier should sit 75-90 cm above the table. In a room where people walk underneath, keep at least 2.1 m of clearance from the floor.
What chandelier is best for a staircase or high ceiling?
What chandelier is best for a staircase or high ceiling?
For a stairwell or double-height hallway, choose a long, multi-tier or cascade chandelier. As a guide, allow about 7-8 cm of chandelier height for every 30 cm of ceiling height, and hang it so that it can be seen from both floors without blocking the view. Our Staircase Chandeliers collection is designed for these spaces.

Yes. Today's crystal chandeliers mix timeless sparkle with clean, modern frames (gold, chrome, black), and work as well in contemporary homes as in period properties.
Do I need an electrician to install my chandelier?
Do I need an electrician to install my chandelier?
We strongly recommend having your chandelier installed by a qualified electrician, in line with UK wiring regulations. Check that your ceiling can support the weight of the fitting.
How do I clean a crystal chandelier?
How do I clean a crystal chandelier?
Switch off the power and let the bulbs cool. Wear cotton gloves and gently wipe each crystal with a soft, lint-free cloth, lightly dampened with a mix of warm water and a little washing-up liquid or isopropyl alcohol. For a quick clean without taking it down, use a dedicated chandelier spray and let it drip dry onto a protected floor. Never spray the electrical parts.
