Determine the Purpose
Decide if the chandelier will be the primary source of lighting or serve as a decorative element. This will influence the size, style, and type of chandelier you should look for. At JD Lighting, we offer a wide range of crystal chandeliers and modern chandeliers that cater to both functional and decorative needs.
Assess the Space
Consider the size, height, and style of the room where you plan to install the chandelier. Measure the ceiling height, the width, and length of the room, and any other relevant dimensions. This information will help you determine the appropriate size and scale of the chandelier. Use our chandelier size guide for more details and recommendations.
Define Your Style
Decide on the overall aesthetic and style you want to achieve in the room. Consider the existing decor, such as furniture, colors, and architectural elements. JD Lighting offers chandeliers in a wide range of styles, from traditional chandeliers to contemporary designs, so you can find one that perfectly complements your space. Explore our chandelier collection for inspiration.
Determine the Appropriate Size
Consider the size of the room when selecting a chandelier. A general guideline is to choose a chandelier that is proportionate to the space. For instance, if the room is spacious, opt for a chandelier with a larger presence. In smaller rooms, select a more compact chandelier to ensure it doesn't overwhelm the space.
Consider the Ceiling Height
If you have high ceilings, you can choose a larger chandelier with multiple tiers. For lower ceilings, consider a flush mount chandelier or a semi-flush mount chandelier to ensure it fits well without overwhelming the space. Browse our selection of flush mount chandeliers for suitable options.
Determine the Right Shape
Chandeliers come in various shapes, such as traditional tiered designs, linear styles, drum shades, and more. Consider the shape that suits the room's dimensions and your personal preferences.
Choose the Right Materials and Finishes
Consider the materials and finishes that will complement the room's decor and the overall style you have chosen. JD Lighting offers chandeliers in a variety of materials including metal, crystal and glass. Finishes range from polished chrome to antique brass or bronze.
Consider the Lighting Needs
Determine the amount of light required in the room. Some chandeliers provide a soft, ambient glow, while others offer more direct lighting. Consider the number and type of bulbs the chandelier accommodates and the desired brightness.
Set a Budget
Chandeliers can vary significantly in price, so it's important to establish a budget beforehand. JD Lighting offers chandeliers at various price points, ensuring you can find a high-quality option within your budget. Explore our affordable chandeliers for great deals.
