Where the Alva 7-Light LED Chandelier works in the house

Dining rooms. Center it over the table, not the room, with the bottom 30–36 inches above the tabletop. A fixture about half to three-quarters of the table width keeps the proportions comfortable.

Entries and stairwells. In a two-story foyer hang it so the lowest point clears sightlines from the landing; use the stems to reach the right height and keep 7 feet clear underneath.

Primary bedrooms and living rooms. Centered over the bed or a seating group, a chandelier works as a soft ambient layer on a dimmer.

Room planner: size, height and placement

The numbers below come from the manufacturer's specifications and our own placement rules, worked out for the Alva 7-Light LED Chandelier.

• Hall, stair or walk-through: keep the lowest pendant at least 7 ft above the floor

Ceiling and table figures are our calculation for standard room dimensions, so measure your space. Have a licensed electrician install hardwired fixtures.

Pulling the room together

Layer it with wall sconces on the dining-room walls or a buffet lamp, and keep the chandelier on a dimmer so dinner and homework can share the table. Echo the finish in the sideboard hardware or mirror frame.

For commercial and multi-unit projects

For restaurants, boutique hotels and clubhouses, specify one fixture per table bay or a line of identical fixtures down the room. Send us the ceiling heights and table plan and we will help with sizes, stem counts and dimming.

Care, cleaning and upkeep

The LED is built in, so there are no bulbs to buy or replace. Clean crystal or glass with a soft, lint-free cloth, power off and cool; avoid ammonia and abrasive cleaners (our advice). Natural and hand-rubbed brass are living finishes that patina and warm with age; Visual Comfort notes a brass cleaner can restore an uneven patina. Dust the frame with a dry microfiber cloth, power off. Installation is hardwired, so use a licensed electrician.
