The large 8-light Naro chandelier imposes a strong presence in generous volumes. Its eight light points diffuse an enveloping light suitable for a large open-plan living room or a spacious dining room. For a stairwell or an entryway with volume, the Edy crystal staircase chandelier combines suspension height with sparkling reflections on the walls.
Keep in mind: on a ceiling lower than 2.5m, a large suspended chandelier can reduce the sense of height and visually weigh down the room. In this case, choose a compact, height-adjustable model from our dimmable LED chandeliers, which remain aesthetically pleasing without encroaching on the space.
Steel, glass, or velvet: which chandelier material should you choose?
The choice of material defines the atmosphere: steel and metal reinforce an industrial style, smoked glass softens the light, crystal adds brilliance, and velvet warms up a room. Regarding the light source, "dim to warm" LED models adjust both the intensity and the color of the light.
| Material | Associated style | Lighting atmosphere |
|---|---|---|
| Steel / metal | Industrial, modern | Clear and structured light |
| Smoked glass | Contemporary design | Soft, diffused light |
| Crystal | Chic, elegant | Sparkling reflections |
| Velvet | Cosy, intimate | Soft and warm lighting |
| Gold / brass | Modern luxury | Warm and refined atmosphere |
Glass chandeliers (smoked, opal, or blown glass) filter and color light very differently depending on the thickness and tint of the glass. The diffusing effect of smoked glass creates a subdued atmosphere appreciated in a living room or bedroom. Regarding metallic finishes, gold chandeliers bring warmth and refinement without visual heaviness: brass ages well and develops a patina over time.
| Technology | Setting | Ideal for |
|---|---|---|
| Integrated LED | Long life, low consumption | Daily use |
| Dim to warm | Adjustable intensity and light color | Living room, dining room |
| Replaceable bulbs | Choice of base and light | Kitchen, hallway |
Velvet diffuses a very soft light through indirect reflection, ideal for relaxation areas rather than work zones. Chandeliers made of raw steel or brushed metal reflect light in a direct way and are better suited for large rooms or kitchens. Find all these families in our entire lighting selection, organized by material and by room.
How to install and adjust the height of a chandelier?
Most of our chandeliers offer an adjustable height to fit your ceiling and your room. Turn off the power, attach the bracket to the ceiling, connect the wires according to the markings, then adjust the suspension length. If in doubt about the wiring, call a qualified electrician.
To adjust the length, some models use a textile cable where the excess is folded into the ceiling cup. Others feature a lifting mechanism that adjusts the height without tools, like Pivéa. Always check the load capacity of the support and the diameter of the ceiling rose before attaching the assembly.
The ideal height depends on the room. Above a dining table, the bottom of the chandelier is generally placed about 70 to 80 cm above the tabletop. In a hallway or entryway, the bottom of the chandelier must remain more than 2m from the floor to ensure free passage.
What does the word "lustre" mean and how long does a chandelier last?
The French word "lustre" refers first to a decorative lighting fixture suspended from the ceiling, with several branches or lights. It also has a second meaning: a period of five years. In lighting and decoration, we use the first meaning: that of a centerpiece that illuminates and decorates a room.
This second meaning comes from the Latin lustrum, a Roman ritual purification celebrated every five years. In French, we still hear "depuis deux lustres" (two lustrums ago) to mean "ten years ago." In terms of lighting, the longevity of a chandelier depends primarily on its source: an integrated LED can exceed several tens of thousands of hours of operation, compared to a few hundred hours for a standard incandescent bulb.

Frequently asked questions about chandeliers
What is the meaning of the word "lustre"?
The word "lustre" has two meanings. In decoration, it refers to a lighting fixture suspended from the ceiling, often with several branches or lights, which illuminates and adorns a room. In another context, it also refers to a period of five years. In lighting, the first meaning prevails.
How long does a "lustre" last?
Used as a unit of time, a "lustre" corresponds to a period of five years. This meaning is distinct from the lighting fixture of the same name. For a chandelier as an object, the lifespan depends primarily on the light source: an integrated LED offers high longevity and low consumption.
Which chandelier for a living room?
For a living room, choose a chandelier proportional to the surface area and ceiling height. A large hanging chandelier or a gold LED model like Zelena structures a spacious living room; a more discreet designer chandelier is suitable for a medium-sized space. An adjustable height and dimmable light facilitate the ambiance.
Which chandelier for a dining room?
Above a table, prefer an oblong chandelier like Ovéline or an adjustable ring pendant like Pivéa, which distributes light over the entire tabletop. An adjustable height allows you to set the distance from the table, and a "dim to warm" dimmer switch transitions from a convivial meal to a subdued atmosphere.
What is a designer chandelier?
A designer chandelier is recognized by its clean lines, matte black, steel or gold finishes, and graphic shapes: rings, tubes, or smoked glass. Often equipped with an integrated LED source, it plays a strong decorative role and becomes a chic, contemporary object that goes beyond simple lighting.
Which chandelier for a kitchen?
In a kitchen, choose a resistant and easy-to-clean chandelier made of metal or steel. A vintage retro black and gold model adds an industrial flair above an island or dining nook. Prioritize functional lighting that is bright enough to cook safely.
How to choose a large chandelier for a living room?
A large chandelier requires volume: high ceilings and an open area. In a spacious living room, a multi-light model like Naro creates a spectacular focal point. Avoid it on a low ceiling, where a more compact and height-adjustable chandelier remains preferable.
