Wooden kitchen chandeliers

Start by measuring the available width above the table: the armed chandeliers in this collection range from 56 to 73.7 cm. The socket comes next, E27 at 15 W on most references, E14 at 9 W on models with cylindrical diffusers. The whole selection is rated IP20, so for a dry room.

Which wooden chandelier for kitchen should you choose?

Measure the width of your table or island before looking at styles: an armed chandelier of 58 to 60 cm suits a table for four to six, a 73.7 cm model needs more clearance. The socket comes after, E27 at 15 W or E14 at 9 W. These two markers decide the rest.

Modern kitchen chandelier: the criteria to check first

Four values are enough: overall width, height, socket and stated wattage. A wooden chandelier for kitchen whose width approaches that of the tabletop lights without spilling over. The 16.5 cm height of the armed models keeps them close to the ceiling, useful in a low space. The E27 socket takes a standard bulb, simpler to replace. Browse our full lighting range if you are hesitating between several families.

Kitchen pendant: when to prefer it over an armed chandelier

A single-light pendant suits a worktop or a sink, where the light needs to fall straight down. An armed chandelier lights a table better, because its sockets spread the light across the whole surface. The six-arm light wood chandelier targets a table for six. The Marius chandelier with curved arms stays more compact. The eight-arm Lunnorissa model is for large tables.

What light does a wooden chandelier give in a kitchen?

The collection combines two bases: E27 at 15 W on most references, E14 at 9 W on models with cylindrical diffusers, with LED technology stated on 75% of the models. A quarter of the references accept a dimmer. The whole selection is IP20, so designed for a dry room, with no water splashes.

LED chandeliers for kitchen: what the stated technology changes

An LED bulb heats less than a halogen one, which matters near a worktop and under a cabinet. It also lets you choose the colour temperature of the bulb: around 3000 K for a warm dining light, towards 4000 K for an area where you chop. The fixture sets the socket, not the temperature. Find these models among the LED kitchen pendants.

Dimmable bulb: on which models is it provided for

The dimmer is stated on the models with cylindrical diffusers, in E14 socket, which accept a dimmable bulb. The adjustment serves in the evening, when the kitchen becomes a dining room. On the E27 armed chandeliers, the adaptation is not provided for: better then to choose a bulb of moderate wattage. See also the LED dining room models.

Wooden flush mount for kitchen or hanging chandelier: which to choose?

A flush mount fixes flat against the ceiling and frees the view; a hanging chandelier comes down over the table and becomes the focal point. In this collection, the stated heights go from 16.5 cm for the armed chandeliers to 132.7 cm for the model with cylindrical diffusers. The choice therefore comes down to ceiling height and the presence of tall cabinets.

Wooden kitchen flush mount: for narrow spaces

When the room is low or crossed by a passage, a wooden kitchen flush mount remains the safe solution: nothing comes down into the field of vision. The armed models in the collection, stated at 16.5 cm high, almost play that role while keeping the look of a chandelier. The Quinora chandelier in steel and wood measures 26 cm high, a contained size for a small room.

Design kitchen pendant: which style to choose in the collection

The stated styles cover modern, minimalist, nordic, industrial, Japanese and contemporary. A design piece for kitchen in smoked glass makes more of a statement than a white armed model. The chandelier with three smoked glass globes plays that graphic register. For a nearby hallway or entrance, the models intended for the entrance extend the same mood.

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

The height is set in relation to the surface, not to the room. In general, aim for around 70 to 80 cm between the bottom of the fixture and a tabletop, and rather 75 to 90 cm above a worktop, depending on the height of the people. The fixture should clear the view of the guests while lighting the surface. The armed chandeliers in the collection peak at 16.5 cm, the models with cylindrical diffusers come down to 97.7 cm or 132.7 cm. These markers also apply to a wooden dining room chandelier.

Large chandelier for high ceiling: which models have the right height?

Two models in the collection are stated at 132.7 cm and 97.7 cm high, with cylindrical diffusers and an E14 socket at 9 W. They are the ones that best fill the void of a high ceiling or a stairwell, where an armed chandelier of 16.5 cm stays stuck to the ceiling. The pendant with cylindrical diffusers covers that height.

Total height and suspension height: the difference to check

The stated height includes the body of the fixture and its cable, not the distance to the floor. Under a high ceiling, you therefore have to subtract the clearance above the surface to know where the fixture will stop. The round version with cylindrical diffusers comes down to 97.7 cm, the tube version goes up to 132.7 cm.

High ceiling above a low table: which format to choose

Above a low table or an island, a large chandelier for high ceiling fills the height without crushing the room, provided the suspension is set at the right level. In a stairwell, a pendant designed for stairs avoids leaving an empty volume. If the room is lower, a design dining room format will fit better.

How to fit a wooden chandelier into a modern kitchen decor?

A modern kitchen decor takes light wood paired with steel well. The armed chandeliers in the collection are stated in white and brown, or white and black, with light wood sockets: they go with mineral worktops or a dark island. For a more graphic result, the version with three smoked glass globes creates the contrast.

Design wooden chandeliers: which style for which interior

The design wooden chandeliers in the collection are stated modern and minimalist on all references, nordic on nearly two thirds of them, industrial on a smaller share, Japanese on a quarter. A contemporary kitchen will therefore easily find its piece, while a rustic interior will require more searching. The kitchen pieces with a vintage spirit offer a different path.

Light wood, black or brown: matching the shade of the arms with the furniture

Brown sits on wood or beige fronts, white on light walls and matte splashbacks, black on graphic kitchens or metal. The matte black versions for kitchen hold up well above a dark worktop. If the room opens onto the living room, a wood selection for living room keeps the same family of shades.

Industrial style wooden and metal kitchen chandelier: is it right for your room?

The industrial style is stated on several armed chandeliers, in steel and wood, with black and white finishes. In a stainless steel, concrete or raw wood kitchen, a wooden and metal kitchen chandelier fits effortlessly. In a very classic interior, better to stay with light wood and white shades, easier to match.

Glass globes and cylindrical diffusers: the other materials paired with wood

Wood and steel dominate the collection, but metal, glass and smoked glass appear on part of the references. The models mixing wood and metal remain the most direct route to an industrial wooden and metal chandelier, with a black or white finish. The Trilux chandelier in steel and wood illustrates this understated approach.

When a wooden kitchen fixture can also go in the living room, bedroom or entrance

Almost all references are stated for the living room and bedroom, and a good share for the kitchen and hallway. A wooden kitchen fixture can therefore follow an open table without a break in style. For a narrow passage, the models intended for hallways fit the width. For a bedroom, see the wooden fixtures for bedroom.

How to install and maintain a wooden kitchen chandelier?

The whole selection is stated IP20: these fixtures go in a dry room, not in an area exposed to water splashes. Maintenance is limited to gentle dusting, without aggressive products on the sockets and cables. 75% of the selection is guaranteed 5 years, the rest 2 years, a criterion that weighs between two close models. Once the width and height are settled, all that is left is to add the chosen model to the basket.

Can you strip a wooden chandelier like a piece of furniture?

No. Stripping concerns furniture, not a fixture: sanding or applying a solvent near the sockets and cables is not provided for. You limit yourself to a soft, dry cloth on the wood and steel. To change the mood, better to replace the bulb or go for another finish, like the black wood models for living room.

Can you eat at a wooden table without a tablecloth under a chandelier?

Yes. Nothing in these models requires protection: they hang above the surface and light towards the table. Just respect the clearance of around 70 to 80 cm so as not to disturb conversation. A bare table goes very well with a design dining room model.
