Black Chandeliers
Sophistication guaranteed
Chandeliers are known for their elegance and charm, and a black chandelier takes this to another level. Whether you prefer a modern touch or a vintage vibe, a black chandelier will ensure your home remains the center of attention for years.
Which interior styles do black chandeliers go with?
Chandeliers can serve as dramatic statement pieces or as subtle yet captivating focal points, quickly becoming the highlight of any room. Black chandeliers are incredibly versatile, fitting seamlessly with various interior styles—from modern and industrial to vintage and beyond.
Classic
The bold, rustic metal frames of classic chandeliers look especially striking in black. They make an impactful statement and complement sophisticated interiors beautifully.
Modern
Chandeliers are constantly reimagined by designers, and when paired with black, they bring out creative and boundary-pushing designs that cater to any taste.
Brass
When paired with gold or brass accents, black chandeliers acquire a particularly refined, elegant look. This combination is especially prominent in styles like Scandi, where smaller chandeliers enhance the overall ambiance.
Which bulbs do you use in black chandeliers?
Many black chandeliers feature open bulbs, reminiscent of the historical wax candle designs. In modern times, LED bulbs are the preferred option, especially for multi-flame chandeliers. LED bulbs offer longer lifespans and can save up to 90% in energy costs compared to halogen bulbs.
For the best light quality, choose bulbs with a warm white color temperature under 3,300 Kelvin, a high CRI index rating (Ra 80+), and a classic candle shape or windblast design.
E14 LED-Lampe
E14 LED bulbs with filament designs are the most commonly used in contemporary black chandeliers, combining energy efficiency with a stylish look.
How high should you hang the black chandelier?
As a statement piece in the room, the chandelier should be hung where it’s immediately visible, without restricting movement or sightlines. Ideally, there should be a gap of 60 - 80 cm above a table. If the chandelier is freely suspended in the room, ensure it's positioned at least 200 cm above the floor to avoid obstructing headspace.
For large rooms, expansive chandeliers should be hung high enough to accommodate even the tallest guests comfortably.
