There are many ways to elegantly and impressively add visual magic to a home. One of them is through chandeliers. Given today’s small, minimalist living spaces, you’d think chandeliers are the last thing on home-dwellers’ minds. On the contrary, there are now plenty of novelty chandeliers that not only illuminate but make a personal statement. An example is an original Sputnik chandelier from the 1970s that can go well with a cool vintage decor for a quirky bachelor pad or a family home music/games room with funky colored walls. There’s also a wide variety of small or compact chandeliers in interesting shapes that can fit anything from a powder room bathroom to a kitchen, a child’s bedroom, and the master bedroom.
Unique chandeliers certainly add to the character of a room and also serve as an instant decoration. Whether it’s a mansion whose occupants prefer period pieces thoughtfully arranged in an open living room and dining room, or a modest country-style home, simple yet elegant chandeliers can enliven and complement furnishings. 21st century chandeliers can be conversation pieces. One example is a fabulous Italian chandelier that looks like sculpted art with strands of chrome (with a sprinkling of little lights) that seem to be blowing in the wind.
Finding the right chandelier for your living spaces can start with choosing one that harmonizes with the theme of your furniture ensemble and the dominant color of the house. Traditional metal candle holders that can be painted in shiny black, with crystals, can be used in any environment. Modern chandeliers, with clean, unobtrusive geometric shapes, have found popular use in private residences with a contemporary Asian feel.
Black chandeliers will fit into almost any room. Rustic or antler chandeliers for a beautiful suburban home can add to a relaxing atmosphere. In effect, it is about choosing what suits the decoration of the house and what feels good for the owner. Beautiful chandeliers come at a price, but most homeowners who are so enchanted by the dramatic effect don’t skimp on style and invest in them to brighten up their home.
