The design brief

A chandelier is furniture for the ceiling. Its scale affects the whole room, yet many selections are made from a catalogue without checking table length, ceiling height or sightlines. Measure all three before choosing.

  • Over a dining table, centre the light on the table—not necessarily the room.
  • Keep the fixture comfortably inside the table edges.
  • For a long table, consider a linear chandelier or a pair of pendants.
  • In double-height spaces, judge the fixture from both floors and key entrances.

Objects worth living with

DELHI NCR BUYER'S GUIDE · 8 MIN READ

How to shop for chandelier and pendant lighting in Delhi NCR

This expanded Avian guide answers the questions buyers commonly search before visiting a furniture showroom in Delhi NCR, Gurgaon, South Delhi, Sultanpur or the MG Road furniture market.

01

Measure the room and ceiling first

Record ceiling height, table dimensions, junction-box location and the view from adjacent rooms. A chandelier that looks ideal in a product photograph can feel too dense once it intersects a doorway sightline or double-height landing.

02

Compare visual weight, not diameter alone

Celeste Pendant Trio, Lucent Pendant and Aion each occupy space differently. Glass, open metal and slim suspended forms can appear lighter than a smaller but visually dense fixture. View the product from below as well as at eye level.

03

Plan the electrical specification

Confirm the number and type of light sources, colour temperature, dimming compatibility, driver access and suspension adjustment. Decorative lighting should work with ambient and task lighting rather than being expected to illuminate the entire room alone.

04

Visit a lighting and furniture showroom together

Viewing lights beside real dining tables and sofas helps establish scale and material coordination. Carry photographs, ceiling drawings and table measurements to an MG Road showroom so the team can narrow the options quickly.

IMPORT DECISION · INDIA 2026

Thinking of importing furniture from China?

Searches such as “China furniture import to India,” “Foshan furniture sourcing,” “Alibaba furniture import” and “is it worth importing furniture from China?” usually come from buyers seeking wider design choice or lower factory pricing.

Direct importing can make sense for a large, carefully managed project. For individual sofas, beds, dining tables or lighting, buyers must still evaluate supplier verification, samples, dimensions, packaging, freight, customs documentation, landed cost, damage risk, installation and after-sales support. A product photograph does not reveal comfort, upholstery feel, mechanism quality or scale.

Before paying an overseas supplier

  • Confirm exact dimensions, materials and approved finish samples.
  • Calculate landed cost—not only the factory quotation.
  • Define inspection, packaging, damage and replacement responsibility.
  • Check lift, doorway and final installation access in India.
  • Compare a locally displayed imported or globally inspired alternative.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Questions, answered

How wide should a chandelier be over a dining table?

A common starting range is about one-half to two-thirds of the table width, adjusted for the fixture's visual density.

How high should a chandelier hang above a dining table?

Often around 75–90 cm above the tabletop, then adjusted for ceiling height, glare and sightlines.

Can I use two pendant lights over one table?

Yes. Two pendants can suit a long table if they are evenly spaced and read as one composition.

What should I check for a double-height chandelier?

Check scale from both levels, suspension length, structural support, maintenance access and glare.
