- High Ceiling Marble Chandeliers
Large-scale marble chandeliers selected for foyers, staircases, double-height living rooms, and residential projects that need statement scale.
Lighting tall spaces with stone
Two-story foyers, stairwells and vaulted living rooms need fixtures with enough height and presence to fill the vertical space. This collection includes tiered, cascading and large-scale marble and alabaster chandeliers suited to ceilings of about 12 feet and above.
Planning a high-ceiling chandelier
- Diameter: add the room length and width in feet; the sum in inches is a common starting diameter. Tall rooms often take a larger size.
- Fixture height: in a two-story space, about 2.5 to 3 inches of fixture height per foot of ceiling height is a common starting point.
- Position: in a foyer with an upper window, center the fixture in the window so it can be seen from outside.
- Clearance: keep at least 7 feet between the floor and the bottom of the fixture.
Installation and maintenance
Large stone fixtures are heavy. Have a qualified electrician confirm the ceiling structure and plan access for future cleaning. Read How to Choose a Chandelier for a Two-Story Foyer, Staircase Chandelier Ideas and How to Clean a High-Ceiling Chandelier Safely.
