Lighting in a Hamptons home often makes a statement without much input from other elements
Light fitting often tend to be oversized when they’re flush-mounted and can include pendant lights and chandeliers.
Above kitchen bars, you will more often than not, find pendant lights. Pendant lights can be and are not limited to transitional lantern-style fixtures, or sleeker pendants with simpler, more modern frames. They may come in pairs or sets of three and four, again promoting a the visual idea of symmetry.
Brushed bronze, black, glass, and stainless steel, and silver/chrome are all popular choices for both kitchen and living room pendant lighting. Sometimes pendant lights may have woven shades, bringing in hints of nature and seagrass that’s works so well in a Hamptons home.
Here at Designer Chandelier we are not pressed for options when it comes to showcasing our range of pendants and chandeliers with all your Hamptons homes needs. Our Hamptons inspired Lighting ranges are extensive and each Collection is designed to have a little something special for everyone and can be easily incorporated into any style home.

The insider scoop is greys and whites are out, in favour of warmer browns and more earthy tones. With that comes an reoccurring love affair with brass, bronze and smoked home and commercial lighting fixtures.
This winter has been particularly cold and when it’s cold we love nothing more than to snuggle up on the couch – and while the skeptics may think of interiors that feature brown as a throwback to 70’s, in fact rediscovering how browns can be a great way of creating layering and depth to your home is crucial for those considering a renovation in 2018-2019.
BRASS
A traditional material for lighting, brass is more yellowy and golden than Bronze. Brass can be a great accent to pop against brightly coloured furniture or in the case of browns can become more of a feature against a blend of complimentary and muted tones. Rich and Luxurious Chandelier and Lighting Collections in a Brass finish are the Aria Hampton, Americana, Bohemian Prague, and Florence Basket Chandeliers.
BRONZE
Bronze can be either light or dark for a rich warm finish. Darker Bronze can be more suitable for achieving an industrial look and can really set the trend. More modern in appearance than a brass finish. For Bronze and Copper Chandelier Lighting Collections, search Hampton Orb, Aria Hampton, Americana, French Basket, and Regency.
SMOKED
Smoke is new age popular and a move away from a traditional clear look. A relatively new look for lighting, Smoke captures the essence of burned wood and many other accents. Search ‘Smoke’ for Chandeliers with a smoked frame and Smoked Crystal Chandeliers like the Maria Theresa, Infinity, Empress, Designer Princess, and Oasis Chandelier Collections.

The styling of this home, featuring the Aurora Pendant Chandelier Width: 53cm focuses on Colour and Line to meet its contemporary brief. Here the lighting choice is inclusive and welcoming. The use of a single light over the coffee table helps to distinguish the space from other common areas. Parted from the kitchen and dining room by a dividing wall and feature fireplace, the living room is styled in neutral greys, mocha, taupe and blush, with the only metallic being introduced through the choice of lighting fixture. One of the fantastic things about this chrome pendant with crystal, compared to a pendant without, is how it will refract the light that beams in from those stunning bi-fold doors. The Aurora is a simple yet bold hero statement to any contemporary space.

The new house has just about finished or the renovation is just coming to fruition. Oh no... the LIGHTS!!!!
Oh no... the budget!!!
Why do we complete a beautiful home yet we don’t spend much time on the lighting or we skimp on lighting as the budget won’t allow us to go a little further.
When choosing lighting for our new home the lighting should reflect your room’s best features. Lighting is even more important than carpets/flooring/curtains. Without the right lighting you won’t feel you have achieved the look you want or were trying to encapsulate.
Lighting tends never to be changed, so why choose anything less than your home needs to bring out its best features. If you stay in your new home for even 10 years, 10 years’ worth of lighting that may cost around $5,000 for the whole house works out to $500 a year that lighting has cost you.
Come in and see us with your floor plans, show us your pictures of the new renovation on your phone. Show us your new kitchen. No room is more important than a new kitchen. Kitchens need great lighting not just simple lighting. Kitchens are the heart of the home make it so with pendants of crystal over the bench no just boring old downlights.
We can help you. We will work within your budget.
You may want one chandelier as a statement or one just to enhance that new renovation or you may choose lighting for the whole house. Whatever the reason you will find what you are looking for and you will admire your Chandeliers for a long time to come. Trends come and go but Chandeliers don’t date and are always on trend with any style of home.
Bedside lamps our out and pendants and wall sconces are in.
Pendants and wall sconces add a very different feel to your bedroom and enhance the room and leave your bedside table free of clutter.
Long pendants on either sides of the bed that match your décor are neat in appearance and practical. The Length of the pendants will depend on your ceiling height, your bedroom furniture and whether they are being used as an added feature for the room or reading lights. You may also place your pendants in a little further from each side of the bedhead.
Wall Sconces beside the bedhead.
Wall sconces on either side of the bedhead will leave the room with warmth and softness added to your bedroom. Wall Sconces in the bedroom allow for easy access to lighting, whilst leaving your bedside side free from lamps-that can take away the look you are trying to create.
Unlike bedside lamps, Pendants and wall sconces will not protrude into the room but will work in well with décor and are set in the background of your bedroom scene.

Make a statement with your new Dining room chandelier
Wondering how to light up your Dining room for the ultimate dining experience.
Make the dining room in your home an important part of your daily life with the perfect Chandelier.
Give the room a wonderful feature, making it a pleasure to sit at the dining room table every day, balancing the room with a chandelier will make all the difference to your room. Your room may be traditional, it may be modern, with the correctly sized chandelier your family, friends and guests will thoroughly enjoy their dining experience and the look of your room. An impressive chandelier shows people you have a flair and a” know how” when it comes to decorating a home.
When choosing a chandelier that will be suitable for your area the most important thing you need to consider is your ceiling height. Your ceiling height will decide what size chandelier you can have in the area in most cases except for over tables, benches & beds in which case you can afford to drop the chandelier lower as no one will be walking underneath it. We have listed ceiling heights below as a guideline to assist you in choosing a suitable size chandelier for your height ceiling.
If you are placing your chandelier over a table, bench or bed then please continue reading after this section.
2.4m (Lowest Standard Ceiling) -
This allows you a maximum drop of 30cm from your ceiling which will give you a 210cm clearance from the ground up.
2.7m (Slightly Raised Ceiling) -
This allows you a maximum drop of 60cm from your ceiling which will give you a 210cm clearance from the ground up.
3.0m (Raised Ceilings) -
This allows you a maximum drop of 90cm from your ceiling which will give you a 210cm clearance from the ground up.
3.2m (Raised and Vintage Buildings)
This allows you a maximum drop of 110cm from your ceiling which will give you a 210cm clearance from the ground up.
Dining Table & Kitchen Bench
The idea of placing a feature chandelier over a Dining Table or Kitchen Island Bench is to create a great wow factor without loosing any functionality in that area. When you install a chandelier over a table or bench it should always have the perfect balance between the ceiling and the bench / table top. If you create this perfect balance it will look complete without needing any additional features such as vases or flowers in the center, yet still have a perfectly clear vision when sitting down to enjoy the company of your family and friends.
As an example, if you have 2.4m ceilings and your table height is 90cm off the ground, it will leave you with a space of 150cm from the top of the table to the ceiling, simply divide that in half (75cm) which gives you the appropriate size and total hanging height for the chandelier.
Room size
Width of your chandelier always comes down to personal taste, however we suggest not to be too conservative in the width and always remember crystal chandeliers were not made to be conservative or just to simply blend into an environment. The whole purpose of your crystal chandelier is to make a real WOW factor and stand out as a serious feature for the area.
As an example, if your area is approx 5m x 6m with 3m ceilings, a suitable size chandelier might have a width of 70cm to 100cm and a height of 60cm to 90cm. And if your area is approx 3m x 4m with 2.4m ceilings, a suitable chandelier width might be 40cm to 65cm and a flush mount chandelier is advisable unless it will be hanging over a table or bed.
Void / Staircase & Entrance Areas
If you are looking for a chandelier as a feature in an Open Void, Double Story Entrance or Staircase area you need to make sure you choose something of appropriate size as these areas are quick to swallow up light fittings, so in these scenarios, the bigger the better!
There are many different shapes and styles of void areas, however we will try and cover as many as possible below.
Open Void- Open Void Area's generally consist of a two story open area which in some cases have staircases on either side. This environment is great for crystal chandeliers as there are no obstacles to get in the way of you choosing something that will make a generous feature that your area deserves. The ideal position for the bottom crystal on your chandelier to hang is around 20cm above the second floor level so it creates impact from upstairs as well as downstairs.
Double height Entrance- two words, FIRST IMPRESSIONS! When you walk into the entrance of your home the first thing that you will see is the chandelier. Make sure you choose a chandelier with decent proportions to create the perfect statement as soon as you walk through the entrance.
Staircase Landing- Chandeliers that hang over your staircase are still the ideal place to hang a crystal chandelier as it can complement and enhance your staircase. If the chandelier is to hang over the staircase above the landing, measure the distance between the ceiling at the top of landing, then minus 220cm off your measurement and that will give you the perfect height for your chandelier to hang.
Of course everyone has their own taste and desired heights, however we hope our many years of experience in selecting appropriate chandelier sizes assists you in your selection process.
We are always available with professional advise to help our clients ensure they choose the perfect selection.

Choosing a style of chandelier can be a very different experience to choosing a style of furniture or door fixtures. Many furniture and door fixtures have a particular style for different periods like Victorian, Edwardian, Art Deco ect... However Crystal Chandeliers have had timeless styles that have been used to compliment all of these period styles. This means that if you are purchasing a crystal chandelier for any traditional period house it really will come down to personal taste on whether you think it is going to be the perfect style for your house.
Sometimes it is nice to have a uniformed look throughout your house if you want to match the finish of the chandelier to the finish in your door handles, tap wear or staircase railing ect..
Purchasing a contemporary crystal chandelier for a modern environment is one of the most spectacular things you could do as it adds that touch of glamour and brings warmth back into an area that can otherwise look stark. You can either choose a contemporary / modern crystal lighting design which will continue that modern look throughout your house, or you can mix it up abit and choose a traditional style chandelier to add a classy look. The choice is yours!

Designer Chandelier Australia is proud to announce we have been working with the talented designers from Crown Perth again to design and manufacture the new lobby lighting for the exclusive Crown Promenade hotel in Perth, Western Australia. Production is currently underway with completion expected within the next 6 weeks. We would like to thank Crown for choosing Designer Chandelier and look forwards to even more future projects together.
Chandeliers are beautiful pieces of lighting that make them appealing to look at. No wonder then, that they adorn the ceilings of both residential and commercial properties. Available in many intricate varieties, they add grace and charm whether you opt for modern chandelier lighting or a traditional one.
All said and done, it is also essential that you maintain the look and feel of the chandelier every 12-24 months so that it keeps looking brand new and shines bright when you switch on the light. Here is a quick look at how you can clean chandelier in homes. I am sure that these tips will prove to be immensely useful for you:
There are also spays you can buy on the market, however we find that vinegar, warm water & a little elbow grease every 12-24 months will provide a much more effective clean without effecting your electrical and metal components.
These are some basic steps that you need to follow in order to get a sparkling clean chandelier. Keep visiting this space for more write-ups on chandeliers.
A Modern space tends to be simple, stark and cool. The colour scheme tends to sway towards naturals or neutrals and is recognizable by clean, sleek interiors. Many natural materials like wood, leather, teak and linen are utilized, as well as polished metal and glass.
Juxtaposition is a very effective tool for creating visually interesting and stimulating spaces. Old and new age pieces together create dialogue and tension. For example, introducing an opulent, Bohemian chandelier into a ultra modern room can really elevate the overall aesthetic of your space.
Just picture the contrast between the shimmering cut crystal against a backdrop of slick minimalism! Or it can work the other way around, pairing a chrome pendant with an older style home or even industrial space. It is all about contrast.
