Crystal and glass chandeliers have a way of catching the eye without needing to dominate the room. As the bulbs glow, glass and crystal catch and scatter the light, creating sparkle and movement that changes throughout the day and evening.
From classic multi-arm chandeliers to contemporary geometric, globe and tiered designs, there are styles to suit everything from a formal dining room to a modern kitchen island, bedroom or hallway.
Crystal, Glass and the Way Light Moves
Crystal and glass bring a different quality to chandelier lighting. Clear surfaces allow the light to pass through, while faceted crystal catches it and sends small points of light around the room. Ribbed, textured and shaped glass can create a softer effect, adding interest without the sparkle of cut crystal.
The effect also changes with the time of day. During daylight, glass and crystal become part of the room's interior, reflecting what surrounds them. Once the lights are switched on, they take on a completely different character.
From Classic to Contemporary
Our collection brings together a wide range of designs, from classic multi-arm crystal chandeliers and French-inspired styles to dramatic crystal prism designs, sculptural shard chandeliers and contemporary glass pieces. Some are delicate and light-catching; others are made to command attention from across the room.
Traditional crystal chandeliers can suit period properties and more formal interiors, while geometric, globe and tiered designs can work particularly well in contemporary spaces. The right shape can make the chandelier feel connected to the room rather than simply placed in it.
Finding the Right Scale
A chandelier doesn't have to be enormous to make an impact. Compact designs can bring a little sparkle to a bedroom, hallway or smaller dining area, while larger chandeliers are better suited to generous rooms, high ceilings and open-plan spaces.
Above a dining table, the chandelier should relate to the size of the table without overwhelming it. In rooms with higher ceilings, a longer drop can create a stronger focal point, while lower ceilings often suit fittings that sit closer to the ceiling.
A Chandelier for More Than the Dining Room
Dining rooms may be the obvious setting for a chandelier, but they are far from the only option. A crystal chandelier can add a surprising touch to a bedroom, bring character to a hallway or make an entrance feel much more distinctive. Glass designs can also work beautifully in kitchens, particularly above an island where the light can become part of the overall composition.
Whether your room is classic, contemporary, eclectic or somewhere in between, a crystal or glass chandelier can become the piece that brings everything together.
