Transitional style chandeliers are not very ornate; they are simple with clean lines, smooth curves, and a sophisticated design. Transitional chandeliers are perfect for any room of the home, including the foyer, dining room, and living room, which makes these lighting options very versatile lighting options for your home. 

Before You Buy

Before purchasing transitional style chandeliers, there are a few things to consider. Knowing the following items can help you select the best lighting fixture for your space. Here are some tips and things to consider before shopping for a chandelier: 

• Room or Space — Knowing exactly where you plan to hang the chandelier helps determine the style and size chandelier needed. 
• Table Size — If hanging a chandelier over a table, you must know the size of the table and select a light that is approximately 66 percent to 75 percent of the table size. 
• Room Size — Knowing the room size helps determine how large chandelier you can fit in the space. To select the best chandelier size according to the room size, take the room’s height in feet, multiply it two times — one by 2.5 and another by 3. These numbers provide a good range in inches for chandelier size. 
• Line of Sight — Consider if the chandelier will block any line of sight in your home or to the outside. 
• Height Clearance — If you have tall people in your home or come to visit, consider their height and where the chandelier hangs. It may be necessary to hang it higher or select a different location to hang it. 

Features to Consider

Transitional lighting chandeliers have many features, making it possible to find the perfect light for your space. 

1. Adjustable Hanging Length. Some chandeliers come with a hanging bar or chain, which makes it possible to easily adjust the height after it has been installed. This feature is excellent for lights over dining room tables or in living rooms where the light may need to be raised when furniture is moved around.
2. Dimmer. Having a dimmer on transitional chandeliers for the dining room makes it possible to create a romantic mood for dinner. Dimmers on chandeliers in other rooms can also help set the mood and provide a soft glow when a bright light is not needed.
3. Sloped Ceiling Adaptable. Sometimes a light is needed to be hung in a space that does not have a flat ceiling. Some chandelier installation kits make it possible to adjust the chandelier to fit a sloped ceiling.
4. Light Bulb Type. Different transitional chandeliers fit different types of light bulbs and wattages. Some lighting fixtures come with light bulbs, but most do not, and the bulbs need to be purchased separately.

What to Look For in a Transitional Chandelier

There are four main things you should look for when shopping for a chandelier - style, size, light strength, and dimming control. 

• Style. When selecting a transitional chandelier, you want to make sure the design of the lighting fixture fits the style of your room. There are many different variations and types. Transitional styles are available at LuxeDecor in a variety of designs and finishes, like in Currey & Company Lighting. From neutrals to bright finishes, there are many different colors of chandeliers available including steel, gold, red, gunmetal, cooper, and many more.
• Size. A chandelier that is too big or too small in a space can make it look out of place. So when shopping for a transitional chandelier, make sure you select one that comfortably fits in the area and over furniture in the room.
• Light Strength. Depending on the room the chandelier will be installed in, you need to ensure it has enough light strength to serve its purpose. For example, you need a chandelier with brighter, stronger light in a den and one that is not as bright in a dining room.
• Dimming Control. Being able to dim light helps set the mood with ambient lighting. Additionally, it allows you to set the light strength to the brightness you need and dim back down when a dimmer light is necessary.
