Chandelier | Valentio

A suspended crystal chandelier, a luxurious cascade of shades and pendants, dresses a living room or a dining room. Two finishes, gold or silver, and a ceiling mount: this chandelier brings light down to the centre of the room.

What kind of light does a suspended crystal chandelier give?

Here the material does not light itself: on a crystal pendant chandelier, it reflects light back into the room. Hence an ambient light and sparkles that move as soon as you move, never a harsh beam.

• The cut crystal makes up the entire drape
• The cascade shape layers the pendants over several levels
• The cut facets multiply the sparkles
• A dimmer on the installation side adjusts the mood

For other silhouettes in the same spirit, see the crystal chandeliers.

Where to install a suspended chandelier: living room, dining room or hallway?

Fixed to the ceiling, this model is designed for dry rooms (IP20) where you sit, above a table or in the centre of a living room. A trade rule of thumb: allow 75 to 85 cm between the bottom of the fixture and the table.

• Adjust the height according to the room and the walkways
• Avoid placing it in line with a door
• Check that the fixing point holds the weight of the crystal
• Keep access to the bulbs without dismantling the cascade

For the right height above a table, see how to choose the dining room chandelier.

How to choose between the gold and the silver finish?

The gold finish warms an interior with light woods, cream tones or beige fabrics. The silver one suits greys, glass and kitchens with cool lines better.

• Only two colours: gold and silver
• Look at handles and taps before deciding
• Keep the same metal family in the room

On a pendant chandelier, the finish only matches the crystal to the room. On the gold side, see the gold chandeliers, to compare with the Gold tree LED pendant with nine heads.

On the light metal side, the silver-coloured chandeliers match rooms with cool lines.

How to hang this chandelier and care for its crystal?

The suspended mount requires a solid anchor point and installation entrusted to someone comfortable with electricity. A crystal chandelier then only needs regular dusting.

• Switch off the power before any work
• Soft cloth or dry microfibre on the pendants
• Do not soak the metal parts
• Check that the pendants stay properly attached
