It doesn’t matter who you are or what your style may be, at the end of the day every girl loves a chandelier. We all have a princess, or a Marie Antoinette, living in us that loves to see a little bling hanging from the ceiling! This post will be part 1 of a 2 part series on the Chandeliers of today. We will start with the much loved traditional chandelier.
While dating back to medieval times, the royal courts loved the glimmer of candle light from the ceiling. The love of twinkling light above us while we dine has never faded. In modern times the chandelier has been used primarily in the dining room for the perfect ambience for entertaining and romance. Over the course of the last decades however the traditional chandelier has made it way to many other rooms in the house. The Jigsaw Designers love using these charming beauties in bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms and even walk in closets. The possibilities are endless.
Chandeliers come in many different classes to fit into different style categories; crystal, glass, antique, candle, Lucite, and wrought iron. The most popular being crystal and glass. One of Jigsaw’s favorite ways to add a traditional crystal chandelier is to mix this ultra-feminine look into a rustic or rustic modern room. See the image below and you can understand the perfect balance between the masculine wood and iron, with the delicate shimmer of the crystal.
The crystal chandelier is regarded as regal and elegant therefore is the perfect addition to the formal dining room. As well, the light produced adds romance to any bedroom from traditional to modern. We are even seeing a trend in laundry rooms getting a chandelier update. Most moms spend a lot of their time doing laundry, so why not add a little glamour.
The second most popular style is the glass chandelier. Venetian blown glass being the most coveted. The monochromatic glass chandeliers are gorgeous and even though they are typically considered traditional they fit perfectly into the modern home as well as the French country manor. A trend we are seeing in glass chandeliers as well as crystal as to add this spectacle to your outdoor space. It creates such an enchanting atmosphere; you’ll never want to go indoors.
To add a chandelier or not…is that even a question? We say add two! We hope this post will expand your horizons and enlighten you. Be sure to check back for our blog on the Modern Chandelier.
