1. The Louella 6 - Light Chandelier
The Louella sputnik chandelier makes our list because of its bold mid-century design and space-saving size. Most small space chandeliers average between 15" and 20" in size, and the Louella fits right in with a height of 16.75" and a width of 19.25". It’s a great choice for small dining spaces or breakfast nooks. This statement-making chandelier features a sunburst design and comes in natural brass or polished nickel (pictured above). This is a refreshing example of contemporary glass chandeliers with a metallic sheen. It also comes with an adjustable height feature, sloped ceiling compatibility, and a dimming function to give you maximum flexibility when it comes to lighting and placement.

2. The Kehoe 2-Light Linear Kitchen Island Pendant
Ensure an even distribution of light and glare-free dining when you go with the Kehoe. Frosted glass shades omit a warm glow that fills the room and masks the harshness of interior light bulbs without taking away the brightness. The Kehoe is an architectural take on a linear chandelier that can also be classified as a pendant light depending on how you use it. It combines the benefits of a pendant light with the spherical design of globe shades, while crisscrossing metal rods connect the display, creating a fun structural contrast that's quintessentially modern.
Hang this light over your dining table, kitchen island, or use it to light up an entryway. What's more, it works well on sloped ceilings due to its adjustable height feature. Pair the Kehoe chandelier with an oval- or rectangular-shaped dining table to match its elongated silhouette.

The Hobert geometric chandelier offers the most versatile color finishes on our list, so opt for this light to make a fun, fresh dining room statement. Choose from four metallic finishes including copper (pictured above), chrome, French gold, or gun metal. Sputnik-style lights like this one rest inside a metallic cage to reflect light and make a statement. Get the most out of this contemporary chandelier thanks to its adjustable height and sloped-ceiling capabilities. Center the Hobert chandelier above a square-shaped dining table to mirror the cubed metal design or create a fun juxtaposition of shapes with a round dining table.

4. Shop the Abeale Tiered LED Chandelier
Invest in a modern chandelier for a dining room that can change its configuration for a contemporary refresh whenever you want. The Abeale LED chandelier features a two-tiered canopy design with metallic rings attached by adjustable suspension cables. Whenever you want to change up the look of the chandelier, simply loosen or tighten the lock nuts at the base to manipulate one or both of the metallic rings to create a diagonal shape.
LED lights lining the inside of each rim create a reflective sheen while also promoting energy-efficiency. The Abeale comes in two finishes, including walnut or chrome (pictured above), and has two available sizes so you can choose the size that works best for your space.

5. Cortez 7-Light Shaded Drum Chandelier
Breathe new light into any modern aesthetic thanks to the Cortez drum chandelier's pared-back versatile look. Its fabric drum shade neutralizes the sleek candelabra frame to give a hint of modern design that’s simplistic enough to go with Scandi, mid-century, minimalist, or industrial dining rooms. Choose from metal finishes including black (pictured above), Scandinavian gray, white, and satin brass to match other metallic finishes in your space.
The drum-style shade also helps diffuse light for a well-balanced glow to set the tone for each meal. The Cortez has dimmable lights and sloped ceiling-capabilities for added flexibility.

6. Cordell 4-Light Statement Modern Linear Chandelier
Showcase a fusion of materials commonly found in contemporary interiors with modern chandeliers for dining rooms like the Cordell. Frosted glass shades diffuse light through fun spherical globes. A metallic base with an aged brass (pictured above) or polished nickel finish creates a sleek sheen. The glass and metallic elements come together with an industrial-esque concrete form. Because it’s made up of glass, metal, and concrete elements put together, the Cordell can easily complement solid wood, tempered glass, or concrete dining tables in Scandi, mid-century, or industrial aesthetics.
