Replacing outdated or boring light fixtures is one of the easiest ways to freshen up your space, whether you're a homeowner or renter. And you can take the new lighting with you if you move later.
Use a chandelier to define an open dining area, brighten a dark corner, make a style statement or light a reading nook. With all the different shapes, materials and textures available, there's a chandy out there for every aesthetic. So, go ahead. Light your way. — Dana from House*Tweaking

I love the long, elegant lines of this black chandelier. It has a casual feel to it, but is classy enough for a formal room as well.

Why not hang a trio of burlap shades to act as one textural chandy? This would be a great idea for a dark corner in any room.

It's not authentic, but it plays the part well. I'd love to cozy up with a book and Moroccan-inspired pillow under this glass shade. It'd work well in the corner of a room dedicated to reading.

I love the spherical shape of this globe-like fixture. I'd use it to add curves to a room or space with mostly straight lines. Wouldn't it look grand above a kitchen island?

With its scroll-like cut pattern, this pendant would cast swirls of shadows around a small dining area or feminine bedroom. I'd pair it with warm wood tones for a natural contrast.

Something about this bronze pendant speaks Greek to me. I love the criss-cross pattern of the metal against the fabric shade. Place it above a round dining table for a warm glow.

Add some geometry to a rectangular foyer or entryway with this square metal chandelier. I'd keep the walls and ceiling light in color and let the dark metal frame of the light be the center of attention.

A contrasting mix of copper and crystal makes this fixture "industrial glam." I'd love to see it placed above a tub, and I think two of them flanking either side of a bed would be dreamy.

This sleek guy would look handsome in a contemporary setting. I'm head over heels for the short, squatty shade with metal rim!

This laser-cut wooden chandelier doesn't provide lighting but is more of an art piece. I'd hang it in a small vignette to add a sense of modern whimsy.

Simple, easy swag — that's what this Spanish style pendant is all about. It plugs into an electrical outlet and hangs from the ceiling. I think this would be a great option for a temporary living space. Just don't forget to take it with you when you move!

A kid-proof way to add drama to a wee one's space. It'd be a safe alternative to the real thing above a crib or bed.

I would use this in the foyer of a home with a traditional cottage aesthetic. I love the texture of the fabric canopies!

Can you say Midcentury Modern?! This retro light has all the makings of a statement piece that would look great in almost any room: kid's bedroom, small dining area, home office, etc.

The dainty curves of this chandy make it whimsical and the turquoise color gives it a youthful feel. I'd use it in a tween girl's bedroom or in a fresh and airy dining room.

A new light that looks old is instant character! I'd use a duo or trio above a kitchen peninsula or island to define the area and add somewhat of an architectural element.

There's nothing froufrou about this brass and silk chandelier. WIth a scalloped shade, it's a modern twist on a traditional design. I can see it working well in a sophisticated master suite.
