Linear Chandeliers

What is a Linear Chandelier?

Linear chandelier lighting hangs from the ceiling and features a straight-line design, rather than the stacked, circular, or square shape of more traditional chandeliers. Linear chandeliers offer a contemporary vibe and come in many styles and finishes.

Our modern linear chandelier selection at Hunter makes it easy to find the right fixture for your space.

How To Choose a Linear Light Fixture

Consider the following factors when choosing the best linear chandelier for your room.

• Hanging Height: One of the first things to determine is how low you want the chandelier to hang. The lower a chandelier dips into the room, the more prominent it will be. Please note: A linear chandelier requires a ceiling height of at least 7 feet.
• Number of Bulbs: Choose a linear chandelier that produces enough light for your space. The quantity and strength of the bulbs used in a linear chandelier fixture affects both the volume of light and the overall feel of a room. Find linear chandeliers with three bulbs up to as many as 10 bulbs.
• Shape: A wide variety of different linear chandelier styles are available for any space and any design aesthetic. Find fixtures in the shape of a single straight line with or without arms, a rectangular prism, or a linear oval.
• Style and Finish: Linear lighting ranges in style from modern to contemporary to farmhouse to industrial. Strong lines complement large and small spaces, while a variety of matte and metal finishes fit with any number of color schemes.

Where to Hang Linear Chandeliers

Linear lighting adds depth and texture to a long, narrow room, thanks to the bold lines and right angles. This style makes a popular choice for installation over rectangular dining tables, long kitchen islands, and bars.  They can also complement a long hallway or a small, narrow space.

Layering light is an art, and a linear chandelier makes the task an easy one when paired with floor lamps or table lamps — its directed linear glow and lowered orientation make it ideal for task or general lighting.
