Style Advice: Chandeliers For Your Home
Finding the perfect chandelier for your home is not an easy task - there are many different styles to choose from, from classic chandeliers to more modern adaptations, to alternative designer lighting pieces which use unusual materials. Adding a chandelier to your interior can instil a sense of sophistication. The term chandelier originates from the French word ‘chandelle,’ and literally means ‘candle holder.’ The first known chandeliers appeared during the 14th century and boasted simplistic designs. Since then, chandeliers have become synonymous with class and style, with many of our very own brands putting their unique aesthetic on their interpretations. Today’s blog will help you find the right chandelier for your home and style.
There are many different styles of chandelier that will work in a variety of interior settings to complement your designer furniture, but perhaps best suited to more traditionally styled rooms is a classic chandelier, such as the Linea Verdace Baroozi Pendant Chandelier Light. This light sports a stunning design, with beautiful curved lines. The base is available in black, white, beach ivory or silver metal with stunning black or clear crystals for a touch of elegance. Alternatively, for homes which flaunt a range of modern furniture, a chandelier such as the Oxford 4Lt Chandelier which boasts a traditional design combined with contemporary materials, is an excellent choice.
Other examples of chandeliers that have taken inspiration from classic designs yet added a contemporary twist are the Artemide Pantalica Suspension Black, which sports a stunning, gothic-inspired glossy black aesthetic, and the Creazioni Fester Chandelier, a piece of art made to illuminate the home, literally and figuratively. These designs will make fantastic statement pieces in homes in need of a touch of style.
For eccentric designs, look no further than Culinary Concepts and Lladro’s chandeliers! The Belle de nuit Chandelier is Lladro's interpretation and revival of the classic chandelier design.

The rope is wrapped tightly around the large iron structure creating a unique and contemporary design.
