Contemporary Chandeliers

From LED lighting and minimalist designs to organic-inspired forms and larger-than-life scale, contemporary chandeliers tap into the art world to create functional sculptures that set the mood when lit, and set the room when not. Shiny metallic finishes and sharp, minimalist lines create fixtures straight from the future. Multi-tier suspensions and organic materials and forms create stunning focal points exploring bold new design territory. From the pared back architectural appeal of PureEdge Lighting and Slamp to the bold and artistic creations of Moooi and Flos, contemporary style is firmly part of the early 21st century design toolbox, and these contemporary chandeliers prove it.

What is the definition of a modern chandelier?
- - Modern or black chandeliers serve as a focal point for the room in which they are installed and define the space. They are more versatile than traditional chandeliers, which were once seen as extravagances for traditional homes. Modern chandeliers are available in countless styles and finishes, including modern crystal chandeliers, modern farmhouse chandeliers, and LED chandeliers, and are installed in kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms, and more.
How do I choose a modern chandelier?
- - Choosing a modern chandelier involves considering several factors, including the style, size, light output, type of light source, and dimming options. Modern chandeliers come in a variety of designs, materials, and finishes. For a modern look, focus on satin nickel, black, or chrome finishes, and look for clean lines with minimal ornate decoration. When choosing a modern chandelier, consider the dimensions of the space as well as the chandelier's diameter, height, and number of bulbs. Most rooms will accept a four- to six-light chandelier, and larger rooms may accommodate a two- or three-tiered fixture, depending on ceiling height. Visit our Chandelier Size Calculator to help determine the right size for your space.
How do I choose a chandelier shape?
- - The shape of your chandelier should complement the shape of your table. A chandelier, pendant/suspension, or non-linear multi-pendant light fixture makes sense over a round table. A linear suspension or linear multi-pendant light fixture is a great fit over a rectangular table. A kitchen island pendants is a popular choice in many modern homes.
How do I choose a living room chandelier?
- - When choosing a living room chandelier, consider the style and ambience you want to create. You should also take into account whether the chandelier will be the main lighting source in the room, or if it will be a complement to recessed ceiling lighting. Today's chandeliers come in a variety of styles, from traditional to modern to contemporary.
What are the rules for buying chandeliers?
- - There are no hard and fast rules for chandeliers, but there are some guidelines to follow. Consider the dimensions of the space as well as the diameter and height of the chandelier and the number of bulbs it has. The size and shape of your chandelier should be proportional and complementary to your table. Chandeliers work best as a supplementary light source, and even better when incorporated into a layered lighting scheme.
