Measure the clear height above the table and the diameter of the light fixture before choosing: these two measurements decide between a pendant, a flush mount and a multi-bulb chandelier. This selection of vintage kitchen chandeliers brings together glass, metal, aluminium and iron, with E27 or G9 sockets, all IP20, to light meals in warm white or cool white.
Which chandelier for a kitchen: how to choose between glass, metal and aluminium?
A kitchen chandelier is chosen first by its material and its diffusion. Glass and metal give a vintage look with exposed E27 bulbs, while aluminium suits round shapes and G9 bulbs. Then check the available height and the IP20 rating, common to the whole selection.
Glass and metal for a vintage spirit
Glass lets light through and shows the bulbs, which gives a workshop feel above the worktop. The Mireno chandelier in glass and metal the Mireno chandelier in glass and metal combines amber globes with a black bar, E27 socket, with a 150 cm drop and warm white lighting from 2700 to 3500 K. To stay in the same vocabulary, browse our vintage metal chandeliers our vintage metal chandeliers.
Aluminium for a more contemporary line
Aluminium gives a finer, cleaner line that sits well above an island. The Fabricia chandelier and its round shape the Fabricia chandelier and its round shape measures 64 cm in diameter, takes G9 bulbs and runs on 8 W LED, with a height that can go up to 230 cm. If you are looking for a more graphic style, look at a design chandelier for the kitchen a design chandelier for the kitchen.

Modern kitchen chandelier or vintage chandelier: which light to choose?
The models in the collection light in warm white 2700 to 3500 K, and one of them also accepts cool white 4500 to 6500 K. Warm white warms meals and wooden fronts; cool white makes the worktop and splashback sharper. In an open kitchen, warm white is usually enough.
Warm white: the mood for meals
Around 3000 K, the light leans towards amber and relaxes the room. This is the setting that brings out a wooden worktop, a beige splashback or a matt tile, and the one you keep from breakfast to dinner. The Mireno and the Luminosité Harmonique work in this range. To widen the comparison, LED kitchen chandeliers LED kitchen chandeliers show the same temperature.
Cool white: a sharper kitchen
Above 4500 K, the light becomes whiter and more direct: it helps distinguish colours when cooking, but it cools a living room and hardens white fronts. The Luminosité Harmonique is the only model in the selection to accept both temperatures, provided it stays with an E27 socket. If the kitchen opens onto the living room, it is better to keep warm white everywhere.
Kitchen pendant, flush mount or multi-bulb chandelier: which to choose?
A pendant comes down into the room and suits above an island or a table; a flush mount stays on the ceiling and frees the passage; a multi-bulb chandelier lights wider and becomes the focal point. In a kitchen, everything depends on the available height and the area to be lit.
Pendant: above an island or a table
A pendant is recognised by its chain or cable: it brings the light close to the worktop, where you cut. The diameter must remain proportionate to the support, 50 to 55 cm for the Luminosité Harmonique the Luminosité Harmonique, 64 cm for the Fabricia. Too wide, it overwhelms a small table; too narrow, it disappears. To place the close families, see a modern model for the dining room a modern model for the dining room.
Flush mount: freeing the passage
A kitchen flush mount is fixed flush with the ceiling, which leaves the space above the sink and worktop free. It suits low rooms and busy passages, but it lights less widely than a multi-bulb chandelier. In an open kitchen, the two complement each other: the flush mount over the preparation area, the chandelier above the table. On the living room side, lighting the living room with LED lighting the living room with LED with a similar model keeps a consistent style.
At what height should you hang a large chandelier when the ceiling is high?
The actual heights guide the choice: the Mireno chandelier drops 150 cm, the Luminosité Harmonique has a 40 cm body with an adjustable 60 cm chain, and the Fabricia can go up to 230 cm. The adjustable chain allows you to shorten the pendant above the table.
Adjusting the drop with the chain
The adjustable chain is shortened by removing links or raising the cable, which places the light fixture at the right distance from the tabletop without cutting anything. On the Luminosité Harmonique, the 60 cm chain covers most kitchen ceilings, between the 40 cm body and the ceiling rose. The Mireno drops 150 cm from the ceiling: it targets high rooms and large tables. For an entrance or a hallway, a hallway light fixture a hallway light fixture is adjusted in the same way.
Fixing the ceiling rose neatly
The 12 cm ceiling rose hides the drill hole and the electrical connection. It is screwed into solid material, never into a plasterboard rail alone, and the light fixture stays unmounted during fixing. Once the ceiling rose is in place, the final height is adjusted by the chain, then you tighten the bulbs before turning the power back on.
How to pair a vintage chandelier with a modern kitchen decor?
In a modern kitchen, a vintage chandelier works by contrast: matt fronts and straight lines on one side, a glass and metal structure on the other. The colour weighs more than the style: tinted glass or golden metal warms white and grey, matt black pairs with dark wood and stainless steel.
Colours: gold, black or white
The available colours are black, gold, white, beige and green, depending on the model. On white or light grey fronts, a gold tone brings a warm touch without overloading. Matt black, more graphic, sits well above a dark worktop or an anthracite splashback. White and beige stay discreet and let the light work. A detour through vintage living room chandeliers vintage living room chandeliers shows the same pairings in another room.
Materials that respond to each other
Make two materials talk to each other, not three. The glass of the light fixture responds to a smooth worktop, the metal to a stainless steel splashback or a hood, the wood of the furniture to a wooden model if you prefer warmth. For a modern kitchen decor, the rule is one sentence: a single vintage light fixture, placed in the right spot, is enough to structure the room. Wooden models wooden models follow this logic when the worktop is oak.
Living room chandelier or living room chandeliers: can the same model follow?
Several models in the collection are listed for the kitchen, dining room and living room. The Fabricia is also intended for the bedroom, hallway and entrance, with a diameter of 64 cm. For the same open living space, keep the same material family from one volume to another.
Open kitchen, dining room and living room
The Mireno, the Fabricia and the Luminosité Harmonique are listed for the kitchen, dining room and living room: you can therefore reuse the same material vocabulary above the kitchen table and above the dining room table. Glass for the living room glass for the living room works well with a glass chandelier in the kitchen, provided you vary the format and not the material. For a softer look in the evening, lighting a dining room lighting a dining room with LED remains consistent.
Bedroom, hallway and entrance
The Fabricia is the only model listed for the bedroom, hallway and entrance, in addition to the kitchen, dining room and living room. Its round shape and aluminium fit easily into a small volume. In a bedroom, you keep a warm temperature in the evening, and on the bedroom side on the bedroom side LED models can be set lower. A modern chandelier for the entrance a modern chandelier for the entrance or a black wood version in a black wood version extends the same family upstairs.

How to install and maintain a vintage kitchen chandelier?
All models are IP20: they are installed indoors, away from water splashes and direct steam. Mounting is done on the ceiling, on a ceiling rose, with an adjustable chain when supplied. Maintenance is limited to a soft cloth on the glass and metal.
Installing the light fixture
Cut the power at the circuit breaker, remove the old light fixture and identify the wires. The ceiling rose goes on the ceiling, the light fixture is then hung, then the chain is adjusted before screwing in the bulbs. IP20 means the light fixture is not resistant to water splashes: keep it away from an open sink, a dishwasher at the end of its cycle and a shower. To identify the models that suit each room, first go back to our selection of light fixtures our selection of light fixtures.
Cleaning without damaging
A soft, dry cloth is enough on glass, metal and painted parts. Dust the globes and stems before removing a bulb, without abrasive products and without water on the sockets. A glass and metal model, like the Mireno, can be cleaned without complete disassembly; aluminium parts only need a microfibre cloth.
Frequently asked questions about vintage kitchen chandeliers
Which chandelier for a kitchen?
Choose according to material and socket: glass and metal with E27 for a vintage spirit with exposed bulbs, aluminium with G9 for a more current line. Then check the available height, the format of the light fixture and the IP20 rating, suitable for a dry room such as a kitchen.
How to choose a kitchen pendant?
A kitchen pendant is chosen by its drop and its diameter. With an adjustable 60 cm chain or a maximum height of 230 cm, you adjust the light fixture without changing the model. A diameter of 50 to 55 cm or 64 cm reads at the scale of the worktop and the room.
Kitchen flush mount or chandelier, which to choose?
The flush mount is installed flush with the ceiling: it frees the passage and clears a low room. The chandelier comes down into the room, lights wider and becomes a decorative element. In a kitchen open to the living room, the chandelier above the table and the flush mount above the worktop complement each other.
Which light fixture to choose for a toilet?
In a toilet without a shower, a compact model like the Fabricia, intended for the hallway and entrance, finds its place. All models in the collection are IP20: they do not withstand water splashes or direct steam, so they are avoided near a shower. Check the ceiling height before fixing.
How to maintain a glass and metal chandelier?
A soft, dry cloth is enough on glass, metal and painted parts. Avoid abrasive products and water on the sockets; dust the globes and stems before removing a bulb. A glass and metal model like the Mireno can be cleaned without complete disassembly.
