hanging chandelier in two story with overlooking railing - How low should bottom of chandelier hang. Main floor is 9 feet. Upper floor is 8 feet. Can look down over rail »
I don't really want to mess around with candles (even ones that aren't real), but I do like this fixture's spiral construction and the warm quality of light it puts off.
Use a little structure for architectural interest. A cascading chandelier doesn't have to be an unstructured set of strands falling from the ceiling. In this straightforward example, the shape of the iron curlicue follows the shape of the staircase. Topped with "candles," this light casts a warm and inviting glow in this entryway.
The chandelier is gorgeous. If I could, I'd move just to have that chandelier. Seriously, it fits this space so well. Unique. I like how the lamps mimic the look of candles.
