Mini Chandeliers

A Classic Way to Accent a Small Space

Also called chandelettes, mini chandeliers are approximately 12 inches in diameter or less. Mini chandeliers provide an elegant method to add light to small spaces, such as stairwells, foyers, and small rooms. For example, in the bathroom, mini chandeliers add light while creating a sense of luxury to the area. These lights are the perfect budget-friendly way to light a space and add a classic touch when using their larger counterparts. 

Before You Buy

When shopping for mini chandeliers, you want to shop for one that fits your space and looks fantastic. Here are some things to consider when shopping for mini chandeliers: 

• What is the ceiling height? 
• What is the room size, and what size chandelier do you need? 
• What color chandelier do you want?&nbsp
• What style of a mini chandelier do you want - crystal, globe, candle, etc.?
• How much is your budget? 

Features to Consider

Like full-size chandeliers, mini chandeliers have an assortment of features, providing easy installation and use. 

1. Dimmable. A mini chandelier with a dimmer switch allows you to adjust the brightness to create a soft glow for mood lighting or bright light when reading.&nbsp
2. Flush Mount. With low ceilings, a mini chandelier needs to be installed closer to the ceiling. A flush mount allows the chandelier to be installed close to the ceiling and allows for enough clearance below. 
3. Remote Operation. Some mini chandeliers have remote controls to use for operating the lights. The remote control can adjust the brightness of the light and turn it on and off.
4. Size. The main feature of mini chandeliers is their size. These lights are small, making it possible to fit in smaller rooms or areas of the home. In addition, the smaller size allows you to decorate any space with a sense of elegance, regardless of the size of the room. 
5. Slanted Ceiling Mounts. Sometimes smaller spaces do not have flat ceilings requiring a slanted ceiling installation kit. These kits allow you to install the mini chandelier on ceilings of all angles easily. In addition, the sloping ceiling mounts will enable you to install mini chandeliers in stairwells where the ceilings are often slanted. 
6. Variable Height Installation. Mini chandeliers come with extendable poles, chains, or other mounts that allow for variable height ceilings. These items help adjust the mini chandelier to fit in the space, regardless of ceiling height.

Types of Mini Chandeliers

There are several types and designs of mini chandeliers to choose from. Each different design allows you to pick a chandelier that matches your decor and style. 

• Candle-Style Mini Chandelier. Like a mini candelabra, a candle-style mini chandelier is designed with lights that look like candles. This light is very formal in style and creates a romantic look to a space. 
• Center Bowl Mini Chandelier. A center bowl mini chandelier has a small center bowl with smaller lights surrounding it. This mini chandelier is similar to a pendant light, but the extra surrounding lights provide a more elegant lighting option.
• Crystal Mini Chandelier. The most common mini chandelier is one with glass crystals surrounding the lights. This type of light is formal and very ornate but still works with a casual style. 
• Globe Mini Chandelier. A globe-style mini chandelier is a light fixture shaped into a globe using a series of lights. The string of lights is either wrapped in a cage or other material to create the globe effect. 
• Shaded Mini Chandelier. Shaded mini chandeliers are those with small brushed glass shades around the individual lights. 
• Sputnik Mini Chandelier. This style of mini chandelier is fun and looks like a starburst with light branches exploding out from the center point. This light is symmetrical and provides a fun, festive light to a small space. 
• Waterfall Mini Chandelier. Waterfall mini chandeliers come in many shapes and forms made using crystal beads that appear to drip down from the top. The strings of crystal beads appear to be falling like flowing water. 

How to Choose a Mini Chandelier

So you have decided a mini chandelier would be perfect for your bathroom, foyer, bedroom, or breakfast nook. The next step is to shop for the ideal mini chandelier for your room. 

• Determine the Room Size

The size of your space determines how large of a mini chandelier you should purchase. First, select a mini chandelier that will provide enough light for the space. For example, a room with an area of 24 square feet will not be adequately lit by a 12-inch mini chandelier; however, a smaller bathroom or breakfast nook would be lit appropriately with this sized light. 

• Map Out Your Room’s Lighting

Create a map of your space and mark where all other lights are installed. Determine how much each light illuminates the room, and that can help determine where your mini chandelier needs to be installed to fill in any unlit spaces. Additionally, determine if there are any pre-installation spots in the ceiling where the light can easily be installed. 

• Mini Chandelier Style

There are many mini chandelier styles to choose from, making it possible to select a style that perfectly fits the room. Mini chandelier styles include contemporary, rustic, lodge, tiffany, classic, and country. Consider your room’s existing decor when shopping for mini chandeliers. 

• Mini Chandelier Colors

Mini chandeliers come in an assortment of colors, with white and black being the most popular colors. In addition, there are chandelier lights in antique-looking colors and metal finishes such as bronze, copper, nickel, silver, and gold.
