Collection: CHANDELIERS

Chandeliers for Australian homes — from dining rooms to double-height voids. This collection brings together modern, crystal, ring and statement chandeliers chosen for Australian rooms and ceilings. To choose one, start with two numbers: your ceiling height and the size of the room or table beneath it.

How to choose the right chandelier

A widely used sizing method adds the room's length and width in metres and reads the total as a diameter in centimetres — a 3m x 4m dining room (7 total) suits a chandelier around 70cm wide. Over a dining table, hang the lowest point 75–90cm above the tabletop; in a walkway or entry keep at least 2.1m of floor clearance. Standard Australian ceilings are 2.4–2.7m, while new builds and stairwell voids often reach 3m or more and can carry a longer, more dramatic drop.

By room and ceiling height

• Dining rooms: one statement piece centred over the table.
• Living and open-plan: scale up for the volume of the room.
• Stairwells and high foyers: long vertical cascades and spiral designs that fill 3m-plus height — see the guide to the best chandelier for a high or cathedral ceiling.

Frequently asked questions

What size chandelier do I need?

Add your room's length and width in metres, then read that total as a diameter in centimetres. A 3m x 3m room suits roughly a 60cm chandelier; larger rooms scale up proportionally.

How high should a chandelier hang over a dining table?

Position the lowest point 75–90cm above the tabletop so it lights the table without blocking sightlines. Raise it a little on 3m-plus ceilings.

Do I need an electrician to install a chandelier?

Yes. All hardwired electrical work in Australia must be carried out by a licensed electrician under AS/NZS 3000.
