Country-style chandelier - a charming eye-catcher for the city loft too
When you think of country house do you think of a farm? We can think of a lot more. Namely also the city. More precisely, the city apartment. Because the modern country style can also move in here and create a great ambience. But in the countryside, of course, it is still just right and transforms many a house into a cosily furnished feel-good home.
What size should a country-style chandelier be?
The important thing is that you like the way it enchants the room. This is certainly the case if it is not too big and bulky, but also not too small and inconspicuous. After all, a chandelier should make a statement. Tip: If the country-style chandelier hangs freely in the room, its diameter is not important. What is more important is the number of light sources or the total luminous flux, which is measured in lumen. The required luminous flux depends on:
- the room size
- the colours in the room (light-coloured walls reflect the light better)
- the desired brightness
If you want to hang your rustic chandelier over the table, it should not be too bulky for the table. In any case, the chandelier should have a smaller diameter than the table, otherwise it could be overwhelming. This is clearly the case with round tables. For angular variants, simply orientate yourself on the shortest side.
How high to hang them?
One thing is crystal clear: if the rustic chandelier hangs freely in the room, it should be positioned high enough so that nobody can bump their head. If it is mounted above a table, you can let it protrude a little further into the room. But this should not impair visual contact with the person sitting opposite you at the table. It is best to drive at a distance of approx. 60-70 cm between the lower edge of the light and the table surface.

Are retrofit lamps available to match the country house look?
What would modern country-style chandeliers be without matching light sources with the latest LED technology? Still beautiful, but not half as energy-saving and environmentally friendly compared to incandescent lamps. So that you can still make the most of the rustic look, why not opt for LED windblown candle lamps, for example? These have the same standardised base as conventional light sources and therefore also fit in standard sockets such as E14.
