Bedroom chandelier, Bedroom Chandelier for Adults and Children

Count an E27 or E14 socket and a warm white bulb, then a diameter suited to the room: these markers decide the comfort of a bedroom. A pendant above the bed replaces bedside lamps, while a small format is enough for a reading nook or a child's room.

Which bedroom chandelier should you choose?

In a bedroom, choose a chandelier whose diameter remains suited to the room, with an E27 or E14 socket and a warm white bulb for soft light. A pendant above the bed replaces bedside lamps, while a small format is enough for a reading nook.

Adult bedroom chandelier: the format above the bed

Above a bed, aim for 40 to 60 cm in diameter so as not to overwhelm the room. The Élégance Astrale round bedroom chandelier, in crystal, brass, iron and aluminium, E14 socket, comes in 50 to 100 cm: it works in a large bedroom as well as a living room. The DUOMO 5 chandelier features black steel with an E27 socket, 60 cm in diameter and up to 85 cm in height. Two to five year warranty depending on the reference.

Child's bedroom chandelier: think about eye comfort

In a child's room, a small diameter and warm white light matter more than decoration. Models for adult bedrooms accept a larger volume, while a baby's room is fine with a discreet, high-mounted light point. All references on this page are IP20, so for dry interiors.

What are the ideas for lighting a bedroom?

Combine a central chandelier, which provides general light, with a small pendant in a corner or above an armchair. Models with an E14 socket suit secondary light points, E27 suits larger rooms, and a dimmer lets you lower the intensity in the evening.

General light and accent light: how to distribute

The central chandelier provides general light, a low point lights up reading. The Wira chandelier ceiling light, in metal, steel and glass, GU10 socket, mounts on the ceiling in 50 or 100 cm. The Grappe hanging ball chandelier, in glass and metal, E27 socket, ranges from 15 to 80 cm: the short version serves as accent lighting, the long one as a central point. Enough to equip a bedroom without multiplying light sources.

Dimmer and dimming: what the collection offers

A minority of models accept a dimmer, to be checked reference by reference. Otherwise, a dimmable bulb and a compatible switch do the job. For a pendant in a contemporary style, pair a central point with a small corner light, as in all the lighting in the house.

Modern bedroom chandelier: warm white or cool white?

For a bedroom, warm white from 2700 to 3500 K gives a restful light, suitable for reading and sleeping, while cool white from 4500 to 6500 K lights more sharply. Choose the bulb temperature according to your chandelier's socket, then adjust the intensity if the model accepts a dimmer.

Warm white or cool white: what to choose near the bed?

Around 3000 K, the light remains warm without turning orange, which suits both a bedside lamp and a bedroom chandelier. Cool white is better reserved for workspaces. Our selection offers both temperatures, often on the same reference: simply choose the bulb suited to the light fixture's socket.

LED chandelier and dimmer: what changes at bedtime

Most models in this selection run on LED, economical in use and without noticeable heating. An LED version paired with a dimmable bulb lets you lower the intensity in the evening without changing the fixture. Check the socket before buying the bulb: it decides everything.

How do you install a bedroom chandelier and at what height?

A bedroom chandelier is fixed to the ceiling, in the centre of the room or above the bed, keeping enough clearance to move around without bumping into it. Allow easy access to the bulb: the fixture's socket, E27, E14, G4 or GU10, determines the type of bulb to buy afterwards.

At what height should you hang a chandelier above a bed or a table?

Above a table, generally allow 75 to 85 cm between the surface and the bottom of the fixture. In a bedroom, keep about two metres of clearance from the floor and prefer a compact model: the heights listed in the collection range from 43 to 150 cm depending on the reference, suspension included. Black and design frames stand out quickly in a light-coloured space.

E27, E14, G4 or GU10 socket: which bulb should you plan for?

E27 and E14 are screw sockets, the most common, the second being thinner. G4 and GU10 are pin bulbs, more compact, found in crystal pieces and small modules. Note your fixture's socket before ordering bulbs, then adjust the light temperature according to the room.

What diameter of chandelier for the bedroom and the rest of the house?

The diameter is chosen according to the room: small formats from 10 to 25 cm serve as complements, formats from 40 to 60 cm suit a bedroom or dining room, and large diameters from 75 to 100 cm are installed in a large bedroom or living room. A linear format is placed above a table.

Large or small chandelier depending on the surface

A large format of 75 to 100 cm, like the DUOMO 3D chandelier in black steel, requires space: reserve it for large rooms. For a standard-sized bedroom, a 40 to 60 cm remains more suitable. The Iano round silver chandelier comes in 60, 80 and 100 cm, allowing you to increase the diameter without changing style.

Large living room chandelier: what changes when the room is large

In a lounge or large living room, the chandelier becomes part of the composition: the Toils Gold chandelier, 93.3 cm long and 24 cm wide, is placed above a table or a worktop. Living room chandeliers play on these linear volumes, while a bedroom calls for a more contained format.

Materials, colours and styles: which bedroom chandelier should you choose?

Metal or steel frames, often black, white, gold or silver, blend with most bedrooms. Glass and crystal bring luminous reflections, at the cost of slightly more regular maintenance. The socket and format matter as much as the look in the final choice.
