Bohemian chandeliers for living room

What is a boho look?

A boho look blends natural materials, round shapes and soft colours, without strict symmetry. In a living room, it shows first in the light fitting: a light wood ring, feathers, gold metal, beige or off-white tones. The light source matters too, an E27 socket or an integrated LED in warm white 2700-3500 K.

Boho chandelier for living room: what really changes

The difference lies in the mix. A wood and oak ring such as the Bellino chandelier in light wood keeps a clean line while bringing the warmth of wood. The feather version, the Lera chandelier with its feathers, plays on volume and softness above a table. Two ways to get an original living room light without leaving warm white behind.

Boho chic or rustic: the difference

The usual vocabulary of the style runs through rattan, woven wicker and bamboo. This selection leans instead on wood, oak and feathers. Boho chic stays light and airy, rustic embraces raw fibres and deeper tones. The ring is in fact classed as rustic among its styles, which lets it move from one setting to another. To compare, browse the wooden chandeliers for living rooms and also see all our lighting collections.

How do you choose a boho chandelier for a living room?

The choice comes down to three points: format, light source and adjustment. The Bellino ring measures 79 cm in diameter and hangs down to 200 cm; the Lera chandelier comes in 50, 60, 70 and 80 cm. On the source side, the E27 socket lets you choose the bulb, while the 33 W integrated LED can be dimmed when the model allows it.

Large living room chandelier: what diameter for the room?

The ring is 79 cm, a fixed format: it is meant for a living room where the centre stays clear. The feather pendant offers four diameters, so the table sets the pace. As a rule, leave some air between the edge of the tabletop and the fitting, without filling the whole width. Measure the table and the available height before deciding, and compare with the contemporary chandeliers if you want something more restrained.

Modern or boho living room chandelier: what difference in everyday use?

A modern living room chandelier relies on line and an integrated source; the boho one relies on material and texture. Day to day, the first is less noticeable in daylight, the second shapes the room even when switched off. If light wood feels too soft, the crystal chandeliers for living rooms offer another register of reflections.

Where should a boho chandelier go in the living room?

A boho chandelier goes in the centre of the living room or above the coffee table, in line with the conversation area. The height of the Bellino ring adjusts down to 200 cm, which lets you set it to the volume of the room. Around it, it is better to spread ceiling spotlights than to multiply chandeliers.

Living room ceiling spotlight layout: how do you spread light around the chandelier?

The chandelier sets the mood, the spotlights do the rest. As a rule, place light points around the edges, towards the walls and corners, to avoid a second focal point in the centre. Two or three spotlights are enough in an ordinary living room, aimed at reading areas or pictures. Keep them on a separate circuit so you can switch off the chandelier and keep only a soft light.

A chandelier above the coffee table or the dining table?

Above the coffee table, the 79 cm ring marks the seating area without closing it off. Above the dining table, the feather pendant is chosen within its 50 to 80 cm range according to the length of the tabletop. In both cases, the pendant adjusts down to 200 cm, leaving room under a high ceiling.

LED chandelier or E27 socket for a boho living room?

On the Bellino ring, the 33 W LED is integrated and gives a warm white of 2700 to 3500 K, with no bulb to change. On the Lera chandelier, the E27 socket lets you choose the bulb, and therefore the tone and intensity. Both models are IP20, for indoor use only.

Halogen bulb in a living room chandelier: what can you use?

An E27 socket takes a screw bulb, whatever its type. Halogen is still possible as far as fitting goes, but it gives off more heat than an LED of comparable output: worth checking if the fitting is close to fabric or a wall. On a model with integrated LED, the question does not arise, the source is already in place. To go further, see the models with integrated LED.

Dimmer: how do you adjust the brightness of a boho chandelier?

A dimmer is only provided on part of the selection. The wooden ring has one: you lower the brightness in the evening without switching off, which keeps the room readable. The feather pendant works with the bulb you choose, so dimming depends on that bulb and the switch. Check this point on the product page before ordering.

How do you match a boho chandelier with the living room colours?

The collection's tones, brown, white, beige and gold, go with light walls and matt materials that reflect light without hardening it. On a beige or off-white wall, the light wood ring stays clear; in a dark room, the light feather version brightens the space more.

What paint colour for a bright living room?

Off-white and beige keep the warm light of the chandelier without turning it yellow. A deeper wall, stone grey or a discreet terracotta, brings out the brown wood and gold metal. Avoid multiplying strong tones on the walls if the fitting is already highly textured. For a more contrasted result, look at the black wooden chandeliers for living rooms.

Boho chandelier for living room: which materials to pair?

Light wood and oak go with linen, matt ceramic and woven fibres. Feathers and gold metal call for plain fabrics and light walls. Stay with two or three materials in the room so the chandelier remains the highlight. If you prefer reflections, the glass chandeliers for living rooms change the picture, as does boho crystal.

A boho chandelier for a modern living room, kitchen or dining room?

Both models are listed for the living room, dining room, kitchen, bedroom and hallway. Above a table, the Lera chandelier is chosen within its 50 to 80 cm range; in an open-plan room, the 79 cm ring marks the dining area. The same family of materials links the spaces.

Kitchen decoration: which chandelier above the table?

In an open kitchen, the feather pendant in 50 or 60 cm suits an average-sized table, the 70 or 80 cm version a large tabletop. The E27 socket lets you choose the tone according to the worktop, which is often lighter than the wall. To extend the series, the LED chandeliers for kitchens offer another approach to the light source.

Modern kitchen decor: how do you carry the boho style through?

The style carries through in the materials, not by repeating the fitting. A light wood shelf, a ceramic dish and the same gold metal are enough to hold the line between the living room and the kitchen. In the next room, the wooden chandeliers for bedrooms pick up the vocabulary without redoing the decor. A chandelier above a dining table can also be chosen from the modern chandeliers for dining rooms.

Living room wall light: how do you complete a boho chandelier?

A wall light illuminates what the chandelier leaves in shadow: a reading corner, the wall behind the sofa, a recess. Choose it from the same family of materials as the chandelier, wood, gold metal or white, with a warm light, to avoid two different moods in the same room.

Modern living room wall light: which style with a boho chandelier?

Keep to a simple line: a slim gold metal arm or a light wood backplate fades behind the chandelier. This collection contains no wall lights, so the choice is made from the Designix lighting catalogue. Check the wall fixing and the cable position before deciding.

Powerful living room wall light: when do you need one?

A stronger wall light is useful when the wall needs to be readable: reading corner, built-in desk, passage to the hallway. In that case it takes over from the chandelier, which stays as ambient light. For circulation areas, the modern chandeliers for hallways complete the series in the same register of materials.

How do you install and care for a boho chandelier?

Installation starts with height: the ring's pendant adjusts down to 200 cm, while the feather chandelier's depends on the format chosen. These models are IP20, so they are for indoor use only, in a dry room. Regular dusting keeps the feathers and wood clean.

Boho chandeliers for a garden room: why is IP20 unsuitable?

IP20 protects against contact with fingers and solid objects, not against water. A garden room, even covered, stays exposed to humidity and temperature changes. These two models should therefore stay indoors. For outdoors, look for a fitting whose ingress protection is intended for the use.

How do you adjust the pendant height of a boho chandelier?

On the ring, adjustment goes down to 200 cm: that is what lets you lower it in a tall space, such as a stairwell, and raise it again above a table. On the feather pendant, the height follows the format chosen. Switch off the power before any work and have the cable adjusted by someone comfortable with electrics. For tall spaces, see the modern chandeliers for stairwells.

Care takes very little: a feather duster on the feathers, a dry cloth on the wood and metal. Stripping a piece of furniture to match the living room has nothing to do with the fitting: no treatment is needed on the light wood or the feathers. Just keep the dust away, without harsh products.
