![]() It will look like a regular old light switch. With hundreds of plug-in chandelier styles to choose from, theres a look for every room. You just plug the chandelier into the box that comes in this set and attach the remote to the wall using velcro command strips. If you really want to feel like you are living large in a rental, ? you can get a special switch/plug combo that is even dimmable so that you won’t have to unplug your chandelier every time you use it. Screw in the hook at the edge of your wall to attach the chain allowing some swag. Step FourĪttach the black wire of the swag kit to the black wire of the chandelier using the wire nuts provided with the kit. Step ThreeĪttach the swag light kit chain AND the chandelier to the mounting bracket. It is now ready for you to hang the light exactly like you would hang it if there were a power box. Attach the mounting bracket directly to the ceiling stud and screw in the nipple from your light fixture. ? Measure the distance to the nearest plug, like I explained above, giving extra length for the swag of the chain.ĭrill a hole into the ceiling stud for the chandelier nipple that will screw into the mounting bracket. Or it will fall out and go boom… hopefully not on your head. Make certain you are marking it IN A STUD. Mark the location on the ceiling you want the chandelier to hang. You can, of course, adjust the length of each one by snipping the wire and the chain if you need one shorter than those. You need to add a little extra for the swag. We measured the distance from where we wanted the light to hang, over to the wall where a plug is, and then down to the plug. For our antique chandeliers, we always choose the antique brass color. They come in several colors: brushed nickel, polished brass, and antique brass. You need to start by purchasing a swag light kit in whatever length and color of chain you will need. I asked Deb to turn my chandelier into a plug-in so that I could still enjoy it!Īs long as your landlord doesn’t care about hanging pictures, etc, this is how we hang a chandelier without power in the ceiling. I decided I wanted a chandelier over our antique kitchen island (post coming soon on that fabulous piece) in the rental but there is no power there. ![]() ![]() Deb is at the point she can switch out a light in about five minutes. And, then hang the original fixtures back up in the rental when we leave. Rather than store all of them in boxes, we decided we would hang a few in the rental to enjoy them while we live here. ☹️ It was in our contract to take several of them from the house when we left. We went from the House on Winchester, which had chandeliers in EVERY room to a house without a single ONE. We have some creative ideas as how to keep it the same way since we won’t actually be on Winchester Street anymore. I say “ original” because so many of you have asked what we will do with our business name. We recently moved from the original House on Winchester into a rental house while we build our dream home. I have been compensated by Walmart for this post but, as always, all opinions are my own. This blog post is written in collaboration with Walmart.
