Types of chandeliers

Shade – Shades on your chandelier can give your bedroom a few different looks depending on the types of shades you choose. You can create a soft or hard lighting look just by the shape, angle and thickness of the shades. The design style of your shades can range from a classic look to modern. To complete the look tie it all together by hanging curtains of the same color and style for an overall cohesive, finished look.
Crystal – Crystal chandeliers were thought of as an elegant, dining room ambiance. Today, people are glamorizing their bedrooms with crystal chandeliers for a dramatic look and feel. Crystal chandeliers add a sense of elegance and luxury that other chandeliers do not. Crystal prisms often give people a sense of joy, watching the lights that they capture, reflect the colors across the room. Crystal chandeliers can be big or small, but they should fit the size of the room and not consume too much ceiling or room space, in smaller rooms. Use the height of the walls and square footage of the room to help you to scale your chandelier. By adding similar style table lamps and luxurious, dramatic drapes, you can tie the room’s theme and décor together.
Glass – Glass chandeliers give the owner a variety of choices and are the most well-rounded style that allows the owner to go as modest or classy in the decoration scheme as they want to. You can dress up the chandelier with luxurious glass covers, or use a more modern cover to give the room a less ambiguous look. Your decoration theme of the room should dictate what type of glass covers to use.
Candle – Candle chandeliers are a great way to bring a different type of ambiance to the bedroom. Candle chandeliers are most often used in a candelabra-style chandelier to give softer tones of light for those who want the appearance and feel of candle light burning in the room. They can also be adjustable to burn brighter for a harder light, when needed. Many people choose this type of chandelier when they want to create a rustic look in a room. Candle chandeliers can have uncovered candles or covered.
