Rustic chandelier

Measure a chandelier whose diameter stays narrower than the table or furniture it hangs above, and suspend it high enough to stay above the eye level of your guests: this is the first guideline that determines the result. The collection brings together rustic chandeliers in wood, light oak, iron and glass, all LED and in warm white from 2700 to 3500 K, for the living room, dining room, kitchen or bedroom.

Which rustic chandelier should you choose for a living room or dining room?

For a living room or dining room, choose a rustic chandelier in a size suited to the room: round or oval above a table, more enveloping at the centre of a living room. Wood, light oak or metal bring warmth, and the warm white LED light illuminates without harshness.

Rustic wooden chandelier for the living room

At the centre of the living room, a chandelier in wood or light oak diffuses downward light that defines the sofa and coffee table, without lighting the ceiling for nothing. The Bellino chandelier in light oak adopts a ring shape of Ø 79 cm, with a wooden frame, an LED socket, a warm white light of 2700 to 3500 K and a power of 33 W. Its height is adjustable up to 200 cm, and it accepts a dimmer. Check that the span remains in proportion to the furniture, then compare with the living room chandeliers.

Dining room chandelier: which model above the table?

Above a table, choose a round or oval format centred on the tabletop, whose diameter stays narrower than the table: everyone sees their plate lit without getting the bulb in their eyes. A model in wood and glass, in warm white, plays the part for a dinner as well as for an evening. For other table configurations, browse a dining room chandelier suited to each tabletop length.

What kind of light does a rustic chandelier give?

The rustic chandeliers in the collection light with LED, in warm white from 2700 to 3500 K, the shade that warms wood and iron. Some models also offer a cold white of 4500 to 6500 K. The IP20 rating makes them suitable for dry rooms in the home.

Rustic LED chandelier: which colour temperature should you choose?

Warm white from 2700 to 3500 K brings out the grain of oak and softens iron; this is the setting to favour in a living room, a bedroom or a dining room in the evening. Cold white from 4500 to 6500 K, available on some models, is better suited to a hallway or a staircase where you want a crisper light. Our LED lighting groups these temperatures, all with LED sockets.

Can you vary the intensity of a rustic chandelier?

Part of the selection accepts a dimmer, which allows you to go from reception lighting to a soft atmosphere without changing the fixture. The Bellino chandelier is one of these dimmable models. On the others, the intensity is chosen at installation, depending on the number of light points. The Aria chandelier in glass and metal combines wood, glass and iron for a more graphic look, in warm white or cold white depending on the setting.

In which rooms should you install a rustic chandelier?

A rustic chandelier finds its place in the living room, in a dining room, a bedroom, a kitchen or a hallway, depending on height and surface area. The models in the collection are designed for these rooms, with different formats and a warm light that suits living spaces as well as passage rooms.

Rustic kitchen chandelier: which format?

In a kitchen, choose a compact format, fixed high enough not to get in the way of movement. Wood or metal stands up well to daily use, and the IP20 rating suits a dry space: keep the fixture away from water splashes and the hob. To refine your choice, compare the options in kitchen lighting.

A rustic chandelier for the bedroom or hallway?

In a bedroom, a medium format in wood and glass, in warm white, gives a soft light above the bed or the reading corner; the models designed for the bedroom can be dimmed when the fixture allows it. In a hallway or stairwell, the constraint is headroom: an adjustable model, in glass tubes or in wood and iron, lights without being at eye level. See the hallway light.

Modern rustic chandelier or chic rustic chandelier: how do you choose?

The modern rustic chandelier combines wood or light oak with round, oval or tubular shapes, to match a contemporary interior. The chic rustic and country styles embrace raw material, iron and dark finishes more fully. The choice comes down to lines, not to the quality of light.

Modern rustic chandelier

If your furniture is straight, light and without mouldings, a slim ring or glass tubes fit better than an ornate frame. The Aria chandelier comes in several formats, which leaves room between a narrow room and a large tabletop. Also look at the more contemporary versions and the design pieces for very pared-back interiors.

Wrought iron rustic chandelier and country style in wood

A solid wood table, beams, natural materials: wrought iron and dark oak play the part better than a slim frame, because they pick up the shades already present in the room. This is the direction of the chic and modern spirit and the black finishes, which are more pronounced. A single strong light point per room is enough to set the mood.

Rustic chandelier, crystal chandelier or diamond chandelier: what are the differences?

The rustic chandelier shows the material: wood, oak, iron, glass. The crystal chandelier and the diamond chandelier, by contrast, play on transparency and reflections. The look changes, not the function: in both cases, the warm light and the proportion of the fixture to the room create the effect.

When should you prefer a rustic wooden chandelier to a crystal chandelier?

Wood works when the room already has wooden furniture, a parquet floor or natural tones: the warm light highlights the grain, and maintenance stays simple. Crystal has the advantage in a light, uncluttered room, where it becomes the point of sparkle. The world of the crystal chandelier and the glass chandeliers let you compare the two looks side by side.

Diamond chandelier: the same use as a rustic chandelier?

Yes, the function is identical: to light the centre of a room and fill the volume above a table or a living room. What changes is the way the light passes through the fixture, more sparkling on a diamond chandelier, more enveloping on a model in wood and iron. Format and suspension height remain the decisive criteria in both cases.

How do you install and hang a rustic chandelier?

Fix the chandelier to the ceiling hook, centred on the area to be lit, then adjust the suspension length. The light oak model in the collection goes up to 200 cm in total height. Above a table, keep the fixture above the eye level of your guests.

At what height should you hang a chandelier above the table?

As a rule, allow about 75 to 85 cm between the bottom of the fixture and the tabletop of a dining table, a little more if your guests are tall or get up often. Check the guideline standing up: if the fixture comes into your field of vision, raise the suspension. The dimmer on the Bellino chandelier then lets you adjust the mood without touching the height.

How do you adjust the height of a rustic chandelier?

Switch off the power at the breaker before any work, locate the existing fixing point and centre the fixture on the area to be lit. Then set the suspension to the desired level, switch the power back on and check the result from the places where people sit. An adjustable model such as the Aria chandelier suits a standard ceiling as well as a more generous height.

Do you need a large chandelier for a living room or family room?

A large chandelier suits family rooms and living rooms with generous volumes, where a fixture that is too small gets lost. Choose a model whose span remains in proportion to the room and the furniture. The rustic and industrial styles share this strong presence, but the rustic style relies on wood rather than raw metal.

Large living room chandelier: how do you get the size right?

Start from the floor area and the furniture: a fixture that occupies about one fifth of the visible width of the room stays proportionate, without overwhelming the space. In a family room, it lights the sofa area rather than the whole volume. The large family room chandeliers show what a wide span looks like.

Rustic chandelier or large industrial chandelier: what is the style difference?

Both aim for a strong presence on the ceiling, but the large industrial chandelier relies on raw metal, pulleys and workshop shapes, while the rustic chandelier keeps wood, oak or worked iron. For a warm interior, wood matches existing furniture more easily. For the rest of the house, browse all our light fixtures.

How do you coordinate and maintain a rustic chandelier?

Coordinate a rustic chandelier with wooden furniture, natural materials and understated colours, keeping a single strong light point per room. Maintenance is limited to dusting wood, metal and glass with a soft cloth, without abrasives, which preserves the look of the warm light.

How do you clean a rustic chandelier in wood and iron?

Switch off the power, then wipe the frame in wood, iron or glass with a soft, slightly damp cloth, without abrasive products or scouring sponges. Regular dusting prevents dust from dulling the warm light. LED sources age slowly and need no special maintenance. More style ideas can be found in trendy chandelier or among the glass chandeliers.

Rustic chandelier: how do you keep it beautiful over time?

The lifespan of a chandelier depends on its manufacture and its use. In this collection, part of the selection is guaranteed for five years, the rest for two. Use the dimmer to limit long periods at full intensity, and avoid humidity, as the IP20 rating is not intended for wet rooms. On a tight budget, look at the most affordable models.
