A curated list of the best modern chandeliers for the living room and dining room, featuring contemporary and minimalist design chandeliers and ceiling lighting fixtures — plus cheap options under $200.
From the perspective of an interior designer, a high quality and well-designed ceiling lighting fixture has the potential to truly tie a room together. We assume that since you clicked in to view this curated collection, that you’re interested in purchasing one or more modern chandeliers for your home…but the real question is where you plan to install your new purchase. Chandeliers are usually placed within one of four spaces, a living room, dining room, entry space, or bedroom. As to where and how you’d like to install your piece is entirely up to you, but let us give you a few things to consider while you browse this collection. Most significantly, the size and overall dimensions (length, width, height) of a chandelier with respect to your space are the most important things to note before purchasing. So, if you’re serious about buying a chandelier, we recommend you take a few measurements of your desired space if you haven’t done so already. Second — and more subjective — is the overall design; the look and feel. Traditional style ceiling lighting fixtures tend to fit better in entry or hallway spaces, while more modern chandeliers look more interesting and dynamic in living and dining rooms. Of course, this is a matter of opinion. Lastly, you should consider the price and compare models against one another. In this collection, we considered all these qualities and selected a wide variety of fixture sizes, designs, and made an effort to select modern chandeliers that are competitively priced. If you like the general aesthetic of a piece, but not the exact one shown, we recommend clicking through to view other products by that brand — as they’ll likely have something listed that you’ll enjoy.

Modern, Minimalist Design 12 Lights Satellite Style Sputnik Chandelier, with Chrome Finish Industrial Aesthetic and Edison Style Bulbs.
By: Deking
Editor's Note
The Edison style bulb is becoming increasingly popular in modern home décor. The old is now the new…now that vintage is considered cool and unique. Besides having a relatively unique shape and structure – somewhat representative of a Star Wars starship – this chandelier is one of the only ones in our collection that has a relatively low Kelvin temperature (of 2700) and therefore is more warm, with a orange, yellowish hue. This is compared to the often white color temperature of LED lighting fixtures. In our opinion, this piece is suitable for a number of interior spaces, from bedrooms to dining rooms.
