Chandelier ideas?

8 years ago

Looking for a a casual but pretty chandelier. We'll eventually replace the dining table and hutch but not soon. I like a rustic modern look. But I don't care for exposed bulbs.

a word on your first choice...the solid beads don't let any light out... you'll end up with a gloomy room with odd shadows. BUT you can find similar solid bead chandeliers with the lights on the outside of the beads.

I have included a few good choices for your space. But, the fixture I like the most for your room would be that of a lantern. Its rustic and elegant. You can even add frosted or clear hurricane glass over the bulbs if you don't care to fully see the chandelier bulbs.

I do like the lantern very much and the frosted idea is good one.

Another question, should I put curtain panels on the Windows just for pattern and color?
