As a first rule of thumb, we like to use a simple formula: take the length and width of your room in meters, add them together, and multiply the result by 10. That gives you the recommended diameter in centimeters. So, a room measuring works wonderfully with a chandelier around in diameter. There are also guidelines for the height of the light—here, we usually calculate about of chandelier height per meter of room height.
However, that’s only half the story, because design thrives on personality. A deliberately oversized chandelier can completely transform a room as a modern statement piece, while delicate models can handle a bit more presence. If you’re unsure, we’d be delighted to take a look at your floor plan or a photo of your space together!
Over the dining table, we want to create inviting, atmospheric light without blocking the view of the person sitting opposite you or causing glare. The sweet spot between the tabletop and the bottom edge of the chandelier is usually between . For the diameter, we recommend about half to two-thirds of the table’s width so the overall picture remains balanced and nobody bumps their head when standing up.
That said, how low a chandelier ultimately hangs depends heavily on its personality. Transparent crystal chandeliers often feel lighter and can float a bit lower, while Plaque or heavier models need a little more breathing room. The best way to find out what fits your table is simply to talk it through!
Personal advice makes all the difference: Room architecture, table materials, and the light’s design interact in countless ways. To strike the perfect balance between harmonious proportions and your personal style, we’re always here to help.
Since staircases vary wildly in shape—from open spiral stairs to classic mezzanine galleries—this is rarely solved with a simple formula. We prefer to tailor the design, cascade length, and proportions precisely to your architecture and interior setup.
| In a multi-story staircase or a open gallery, a chandelier is far more than just a source of light—it’s an architectural focal point. As a general guide for calculating the height, we usually aim for of chandelier length per meter of ceiling height. It’s essential to ensure a clear clearance height of at least on the ground floor, while making sure the piece remains visually stunning at eye level from the upper floors as well. However, since staircases come in so many different layouts—from open spiral stairs to classic mezzanine galleries—this can rarely be solved with a rigid formula alone. That’s why we prefer to tailor the design, cascade length, and proportions precisely to your specific architecture and interior setup. |
Your room’s architecture sets the stage, but you decide on the impact:
But here, too: rules provide safety, but breaking them creates character! A low-hanging pendant light next to an armchair can create an incredibly cozy reading nook. Let’s just chat—together we’ll find the perfect scale for your home.
Of course, we actually love doing that! The main thing is that the overall vibe feels right. We’ll curate a mix for you where materials and style worlds complement each other seamlessly.
Among others, we work with renowned brands and workshops such as: ARTelier C, Baccarat, Barovier & Toso, Bocci, Bomma, Brand van Egmond, Cristallerie St. Louis, Italamp, Jacco Maris, Lavai, Lladró, LU Murano, Masiero, Multiforme, Officina Luce, Patrizia Garganti, Peter Adam Lighting, Preciosa, Quasar, Stillamp, Venini, Vistosi, Visual Comfort, Waterford, Schonbek, Serip, Swarovski, Terzani, Zavadski, Zonca.
It all depends on the mood you want to set! For living and dining areas, we recommend a warm, cozy light (approx. 2,700 Kelvin). When it comes to brightness, the trend is clearly toward flexible solutions: using dimmers, most lights can easily be adjusted from bright light for eating or working down to a soft, romantic evening glow.
Absolutely! Placing a classic chandelier in modern, minimalist architecture makes for a stunning style contrast in interior design. The interplay between clean lines and playful crystal or Murano glass brings instant energy and warmth into the room. Vice versa, modern sculptural lights fit amazingly well into historic rooms with high ceilings and stucco. Feel free to embrace the mix—we’d love to show you examples of how harmonious this can look!
For standard concrete ceilings, it’s usually no problem at all. For drywall or suspended ceilings, the mounting method should be reviewed beforehand. Just let us know a bit about your ceiling structure—we’ll give you the exact weight of the light and provide tips for the right mounting hardware.
In open-concept spaces, the lights should “talk” to each other without stealing the show from one another. We usually recommend choosing one clear hero piece (for example, the chandelier over the dining table) paired with more understated wall, floor, or ceiling lights that echo its design motifs. Most importantly, ensure that all lights in the room share the same color temperature so the overall look remains calm and cohesive.
Absolutely! In our showroom, we keep a wide selection of samples, crystal pieces, and material finishes ready for you. We warmly invite you to visit us in person to tactilely experience the fine metal finishes (such as gold-plated, patinated, or brushed) as well as glass and crystal options.

Definitely! A chandelier in the bedroom instantly creates an elegant vibe and transforms the space into a private sanctuary. In the bathroom, sparkling crystal sets luxurious accents, turning a functional space into an upscale spa. It’s also a fascinating highlight in the kitchen: placed above a kitchen island or breakfast bar, it sets an unexpected accent and immediately adds warmth and lived-in charm to sleek kitchen setups.
Without a doubt: yes! Modern interpretations of chandeliers often feature clean geometric forms, innovative materials, or minimalist LED designs. Placing a modern design piece in a room with hardwood floors and ornate molding creates an exciting dynamic. It shows that you appreciate heritage while living firmly in the present. If you’re unsure which modern style suits your decor, we’d love to browse through our portfolio with you!

Murano lights are true works of art and living tradition from the famous glassblowing workshops on the Venetian island of Murano. Every single piece is hand-blown by master artisans. They’re known for their flowing, organic shapes—like delicate flowers or leaves—and a masterful use of color and translucent glass. A Murano light is perfect for you if you’re looking for something unique with an artistic soul that radiates weightlessness and Italian charm. Have a look at this page.
The basket chandelier (or sac à perles) is an exceptionally harmonious and closed lighting form. Here, countless tightly strung crystal chains form a basket structure that tapers off gracefully at the bottom. The light source sits inside the crystal pouch, making the entire piece glow from within. Basket chandeliers look incredibly refined, are a bit more compact in shape, and are ideal if you want plenty of sparkle paired with a clean, neat silhouette.
The Maria Theresa style is the epitome of the majestic Baroque chandelier. Its signature feature is the metal arm framework completely encased in glass or crystal strips, adorned with intricately cut crystal drops and rosettes. Originally crafted in the 18th century for the Austrian imperial court, this timeless classic still brings royal elegance, brilliant light refraction, and opulent grandeur to both historic and modern spaces.
The 1970s stand for bold shapes, expressive textures, and artistic glass design. Iconic creations from this era—such as the sweeping, flower-like Tulipani motifs or the organically shaped, tubular Tronchi elements made of hand-blown Murano glass—make a strong design statement. They lend modern interiors a playful, warm energy and serve as striking focal points with genuine vintage character.
Mid-Century lighting from the 1950s and 1960s excels through clean lines, functional elegance, and architectural sophistication.

Contemporary chandeliers completely redefine the classic lighting fixture: they merge traditional craftsmanship with an avant-garde design language and modern lighting technology.
