Home Decorating Lighting Design Dilemma

Crystal Chandeliers - keep consistent or change styles?

3 years ago

Hi- I am renovating a NYC apartment and am using a crystal chandelier in the dining area. Picture attached. If you were me, would you do another crystal chandelier (different shape but similar color scheme in the bedroom) or do a different style chandelier? Including examples of some different other chandelier ideas. Thank you in advance for your views.

All of those fixtures relate nicely to one another.

Be careful with crystal prisms as they can cast terrible shadows in a room especially if they are too brightly lit.

LOL "One man's trash...." Many people are looking for those "terrible shadows". To your question: if the rooms are completely closed off from one another I see no reason for light fixtures to have to match/relate to one another. Particularly in a bedroom where very few people will ever see it.

IMO your bedroom can be very different from the rest of the place. I like that 2nd one for the DR so much more than the first but of course we have no dea of your style in either room.
