When sheer elegance and glamour rank highly among your list of home lighting prerequisites, an option that is likely to be eminently suitable for you is that of chandeliers. Whilst you might immediately associate chandeliers with certain glittering historical periods, you need not be put off if your home decor is more contemporary or more rustic in style. Like so many aspects of home decor, lighting fixtures have progressed a long way since times when only certain models suited certain styles of rooms. The sumptuous chandelier ranges now available to you afford you the luxury of reasonably priced decorative lighting that is modern, rustic, traditional and transitional.
At the mention of chandeliers, you are not alone in immediately bringing to mind the iridescently cascading crystals reminiscent of Buckingham Palace, Louis XIV's Versailles and other residences of the famous, the rich and the royal. Impressively ostentatious crystal chandeliers are still available, and, if they are not available readily, they can be custom made. Yet many popularly selected chandelier styles these days have the needs and styles of modern households at heart.
You might think that chandeliers are not chandeliers if they lack an abundance of tumbling crystalline light refraction, but you would be wrong on this count. Many chandeliers have no crystals at all. What the vast majority do have in common is at least three lamps or lights, sitting at the ends of the arms of their light fittings. Some have a few or several lampshades that might face towards the ceiling or the floor. If wrought iron lighting appeals to you and matches the ambiance of your room, chandeliers that emulate candlesticks at the ends of wrought iron arms might well be just your ticket.
One of the many beauties of chandeliers is that you can really let your imagination run riot. Your ultimate choice will naturally be influenced by the shape, size and style or your room, so you may opt for a large model as your decorative centerpiece, or a few miniature or smaller chandeliers fitted around your ceiling to create a completely different dynamic.
