Without the chandelier in this room, the room would lean toward a more traditional style. But the addition of the modern black chandelier makes an industrial, contemporary statement. The globe-shaped bulbs add another modern element to this fixture.

Traditional Chandeliers

Traditional doesn’t have to mean formal or boring.

This chandelier started with brushed nickel hardware and faux jade beads that had a purple tint to them. A coat of chalk paint and wax turned it into a traditional, but casual, chandelier that fits perfectly in this dining room. The size of the fixture and the faux wooden beads make a dramatic statement in this room.

Glam Chandeliers

Maybe you are more a fan of crystal chandeliers.
