Rattan Chandeliers | Handwoven Tiered & Multi-Shade Lights
Rattan has a natural curve that makes it perfect for sweeping, layered light fixtures. Every rattan chandelier on this page is woven by hand around a lightweight frame, then fitted for a standard ceiling mount. The result is a fixture that fills the room with warm, dappled light and looks like a piece of craft art even when switched off.
Some designs feature a single sculptural form, while others group several woven shades on one canopy. Small differences in weave and tone are part of the handmade process.
Shades, Tiers, and Lines
Multiple Shades
A chandelier with rattan shades spreads light from several points, so the whole room glows evenly. A rattan shade chandelier with three or five domes works especially well over round tables.
Tiers
A tiered rattan chandelier stacks woven rings or skirts one above another, creating a soft, layered silhouette that suits tall ceilings.
Linear Forms
Long tables and kitchen islands call for length. A rattan linear chandelier stretches light evenly from one end to the other.
Five Lights
A 5-light rattan chandelier gives plenty of brightness for dining and entertaining while keeping a balanced, symmetrical look.
Weaves and Finishes
A woven rattan chandelier with a tight pattern gives a mellow glow, while an open weave rattan chandelier lets more light through and throws dramatic shadows across walls and ceiling.
Finish changes the mood too. A natural rattan chandelier in honey tones warms up white walls and oak floors, while a black rattan chandelier adds graphic contrast in modern or industrial rooms. Mixed pieces, such as a rattan and brass chandelier look, pair woven texture with a hint of shine.
Size Matters
| Option | Typical Width | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Compact | 14 to 20 inches | Breakfast nooks, powder rooms, small bedrooms |
| Medium | 20 to 28 inches | Dining tables seating four to six |
| Grand | 30 inches and up | Foyers, great rooms, long tables |
A small rattan chandelier adds charm to a tight space without crowding it, while a large rattan chandelier anchors an open-plan room or a double-height entry.
Room Ideas
Dining
A rattan chandelier for dining room tables should hang 30 to 36 inches above the surface. See our dining room pendant lights for single-shade options.
Bedroom
A rattan chandelier for bedroom ceilings brings a romantic, resort-like feel. Choose a dimmer so the glow can soften at night.
Wicker Variations
A wicker rattan chandelier uses a basket-style weave for a homey, cottage feel that pairs well with quilts and painted furniture.
Other Natural Fibers
If you love rattan, you may also like softer grasses. Fluffy raffia has a tactile surface, and a straw chandelier brings a sunny, summery look. Both diffuse light gently and pair well with rattan furniture.
Installing and Caring for Rattan
Because rattan is light, most fixtures mount on a standard ceiling box, but always have a licensed electrician confirm the rating and wire the fixture. Clean the weave with a soft brush on an extension pole a few times a year, and keep the fixture away from stove steam.

Rattan Chandelier FAQs
How high should a rattan fixture hang over a table?
Aim for a gap of roughly two and a half to three feet between the tabletop and the lowest point. Lofty ceilings can take a slightly higher position.
Can rattan lighting be used in a bathroom?
Only in a large, well-ventilated bathroom away from showers. Constant steam can weaken the fibers over time.
Does rattan darken over time?
Natural rattan slowly deepens to a richer honey tone with age and light exposure, which many people love.
Can I put it on a dimmer?
Absolutely. Pair a dimmable LED with a matching wall dimmer for smooth control.
How wide should it be for my table?
Pick a width of about half to two thirds of the table. A 60 inch table suits a fixture roughly 30 to 40 inches wide.
How do I dust a hanging rattan fixture?
Use a soft brush or feather duster on an extension pole. Never wet the rattan, because damp patches can leave lasting marks.
