About Candle Chandeliers
Candle Chandeliers That Bring Back the Candlelit Room
A candle chandelier keeps the shape of the fixtures that lit halls and dining rooms before electric light: arms that reach out from a center column, each ending in a slim candle sleeve with a small bulb on top. The look suits farmhouse kitchens, French and traditional dining rooms, older homes, and newer rooms that want one piece with some history to it. This collection covers brass, a wrought iron wagon wheel, whitewashed wood rods and a tiered design with cut glass arms.
Choosing a candle chandelier
- Bulbs: Candle chandeliers take small candle style bulbs rather than standard household bulbs. Check the bulb base and the number of arms on the product page, and buy the bulbs together so every arm glows the same.
- Color of light: Warm white, around 2700K to 3000K, looks closest to candlelight. Cool white makes brass and wood look flat.
- Exposed or shaded: Bare candle bulbs give the classic look and throw light up toward the ceiling. Small shades over the arms soften the glare over a dining table.
- Size: Add the room's length and width in feet and read the total as inches for a rough diameter. Over a table, choose a fixture about 12 inches narrower than the table.
- Height: Hang the bottom 30 to 36 inches above the tabletop on an 8 foot ceiling, and keep at least 7 feet of clearance where people walk underneath.
Styling tip: Put candle style bulbs on a dimmer. Turned low, the room reads as lit by candles instead of by one overhead light.
