When it comes to adding the wow factor, nothing beats a chandelier – and you really don’t need to live in a mansion to have one! Whatever size space you have available, chandeliers make a stunning centrepiece, and bring a real sense of elegance and luxury to a room.
Use a chandelier to showcase your staircase
A chandelier is a fabulous way of lighting a staircase, whether it’s a grand open stairway or a narrower, more modest affair.
Placing a chandelier at the top of the landing will cast plenty of light down and along the stairway, while drawing the eye upwards and effectively opening up the space.
Hanging a feature chandelier in the sitting room
A chandelier in the sitting room just exudes style and elegance, and will really elevate the space. Depending on the size and layout of the room, you can create a gorgeous centrepiece by suspending a chandelier from the middle of the sitting room ceiling, or by aligning it with an architectural feature, such as a fireplace, to create a sense of balance and harmony.
Creating atmosphere in the kitchen with a chandelier
Kitchens are often multipurpose spaces, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t room for a touch of glamour, a kitchen island or table is the perfect place to hang a chandelier. As well as adding plenty of illumination, a chandelier will add bags of atmosphere – whether you’re cooking, entertaining or just doing nothing much at all.
Chandeliers in the dining room or kitchen-diner space
The dining room is a perhaps the most obvious place for a chandelier. It will create a fabulous centrepiece, as well as a great conversation piece. Whether it’s a formal gathering or a romantic tete-a-tete, a beautiful chandelier can create a lovely warm, intimate atmosphere and make a real style statement.
When lighting a dining room, base your entire lighting scheme around the dining table, and a whopping great chandelier placed over the centre of the table will make it the focal point.
Add a little romance with a bedroom chandelier
Chandeliers have traditionally graced the hallways and drawing rooms of grand country houses for centuries. However, the bedroom is another lovely place to hang a chandelier, offering some extra luxury and sparkle.
A chandelier will look beautiful placed in the centre of the bedroom ceiling, or alternatively hung centrally over the bed. Sure to bring an extra touch of romance to any boudoir!
