Chandeliers ooze style and sophistication, and none more so than a black chandelier. Whether you’re looking for something modern or vintage, one thing is for sure - your home will be the talk of the town for years to come.
Chandeliers can be monumental statement pieces or minor talking points - either way, they quickly become the focal point of a room. Thanks to the versatility of the designs, there are black chandeliers for every interior style from modern to industrial and vintage.
Classic
The rustic metal frame of a classic chandelier looks impressive, particularly in black. They make a statement and are perfect for ‘noble’ interiors.
Modern
It is exciting to see how designers interpret chandeliers. In combination with black, creative highlights emerge that break every category boundary.
Brass
When combined with gold or brass, black chandeliers look particularly noble. So it’s not surprising that small chandeliers enhance many styles, such as Scandi.
Many chandeliers have open bulbs, as was the case with real wax candles in historical chandeliers.
Today, LED bulbs are the most commonly used light source, especially in multi-flame chandeliers. LED bulbs also last longer and can save up to 90% on energy consumption and bills compared to halogen bulbs.
In terms of light quality, you should consider a warm white light colour of less than 3,300 Kelvin, a high CRI index rating from Ra 80 - and the typical candle shape or windblast look bulb.
Despite numerous modern designs, the open, candle-like light chandelier is found in most black chandelier designs.
An E14 bulb in a candle shape with an LED filament is the most commonly used bulb in modern chandeliers.
As the room's statement piece, a chandelier should always be hung where it can be immediately seen without restricting movement and visibility.
This means that the chandelier must leave a gap of 60 - 80 cm above a tabletop. Freely suspended in the room, on the other hand, the chandelier is usually hung so high that it’s possible to walk underneath it comfortably.
In this instance, a distance of at least 200 cm from the floor is advisable, or sometimes more, especially if you’ve got extremely tall friends or relatives!
Large rooms are the optimal place for expansive chandeliers. Just make sure yours hangs high enough so that even the tallest of visitors get to enjoy it without bumping their head.
However, in the dining room, they shouldn't obstruct the view of the person sitting opposite or pose a health and safety risk.
Countless interior constellations allow the free placement of black chandeliers, e.g. with smaller models above side tables in the living room.
