More Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What size chandelier should I choose for my room or dining table?
A: A popular rule: room length + width (in feet or metres) = ideal chandelier diameter (in inches or centimetres); table fixtures should be ½–⅔ the table width.

Q: Can I install the chandelier myself, and do I need special wiring or a professional to install it?
A: Yes, you can if you are a certified electrician. Yes, chandeliers use ceiling-mounted boxes and can be very heavy, and we strongly recommend using a professional for installation.

Q: How high above the floor should wall lamps be installed?
Typically around 150 cm (60) from the floor, although adaptation is recommended.
