Feng Shui secrets for perfect chandelier placement: Bring balance and energy to your space

When it comes to lighting, chandeliers are powerful symbols in Feng Shui, believed to attract positive energy, promote harmony, and uplift the overall ambiance of a place. Chandelier placement for Feng Shui is about more than aesthetics – it's about creating a flow that energizes and nurtures. Here’s how to position chandeliers to bring balance, and choose materials and heights that align with Feng Shui principles to achieve harmony in your home.

Positioning your chandelier for optimal energy flow

In Feng Shui, every placement holds meaning. To improve the flow of energy, a chandelier should be positioned in areas that naturally attract attention, such as the center of a room or above a dining table. By placing a chandelier at the heart of your space, you create a focal point that directs positive energy throughout the room, supporting harmony and connectivity among those within.


The Altavilla Vicentina Gold & Black Nordic Design Flower LED Chandelier is ideal for a dining room, where its central position helps foster strong bonds. Its Nordic floral design enhances the natural energy within the room, while the gold and black colors align with both grounding and energizing elements, reinforcing a balanced environment for social interactions.

The role of material

In Feng Shui, materials like metal, wood, and glass each carry unique properties that influence the room’s energy. Chandelier material impact can be profound, and choosing the right type is crucial. Metal fixtures, for example, bring clarity and focus, making them excellent for workspaces or study rooms. Glass and crystal encourage transparency, openness, and connection, ideal for living rooms or entrance halls where you want a welcoming energy.


The Mirodemi St. Gallen Stylish Minimalistic Gold Chandelier is a great example of how metal and minimalist design can uplift spaces with refinement and purpose. Its gold tone symbolizes prosperity, while the simplicity of its structure keeps the energy clear and unobstructed. Positioned above a dining table or in a living room, this chandelier draws attention yet remains calming and grounded.

Finding the best height for harmonious lighting

The best chandelier height for the living room or other spaces in your home depends on the function and layout of the room. For entryways or foyers, a chandelier should hang high enough to create an inviting path for energy to flow while keeping the space open. In a living room, aim for a height that is comfortable and unobtrusive but still emphasizes the centrality of the fixture. As a general guideline, with an 8 foot ceiling height position chandeliers around 30 to 34 inches above dining tables or similar surfaces, allowing enough space for illumination and visual appeal.


A chandelier like the Modern LED Ceiling Pendant Light in the Shape of Flower suits any ceilings beautifully. Its delicate floral shape allows it to stand out without overpowering the space, creating an elegant focal point that’s ideal for open-concept living areas or entryways. Placed at the right height, it helps balance the energy flow, upgrading the ambiance of your living space.

Increasing room types with specific chandelier placements

Different rooms have different energetic needs. In a home office, a chandelier should be functional yet aesthetically pleasing, ideally made of metal or wood to promote focus and stability. Living rooms benefit from lighting that encourages relaxation and sociability, where materials like glass or crystal add vibrancy and clarity. Dining rooms, where connection and nurturing are central themes, thrive with chandeliers that offer warm, inviting light and are positioned to facilitate an intimate yet open setting.
