Chandelier, a common name for lighting fixture that is mounted on ceiling, has been functioning as house decoration as well as lighting for decades. Chandeliers have always captured the eye, their glittering presence adding whimsy, charm, and drama to any space. If you want more life in your living or dining room, then mounting a chandelier up your ceiling definitely gives it a more elegant look. But if you think that such a lighting fixture is only for million-dollar houses, think again. These days there are a lot of attractive and inexpensive chandeliers to choose from. By adding a chandelier and the right accents that are within your budget, your living or dining room will not only become presentable, but beautiful.
Chandeliers can be fun and fabulous when you're decorating with shabby chic items. Whether you're starting with a traditional light fixture or something unusual, your chandeliers can make a personal decorating statement.
What's your lighting goal? If your room already has lamps that you use and like, a chandelier may be more decorative than practical. If it will be an important light source, your first concern may be the number and size of bulbs or candles on it. First, decide whether to work with a readymade chandelier, or something that you'll create from other materials. If you're starting from scratch, aim for something quirky and unique. Start with an interesting form that can hang from your ceiling.
An old but stylish birdcage becomes a festive chandelier if you cover it with strings of holiday lights in various sizes or colors. For extra brightness, you can suspend a traditional or novelty light bulb in the center of the cage, using a "make it yourself" light fixture kit from the crafts shop or hardware store. For example, a small tree branch can look dazzling if you attach votive lamps with ornately twisted wire. Add some large glass beads--threaded on the wires or hanging from clear nylon fishing line--and the effect is dazzling.
