Buyer's Guide: Chandeliers

Craftsman, Mission Chandeliers

Large and often ornate, chandeliers are ceiling-mounted fixtures with two or more light-bearing arms. Choose from a luminous array of styles, shapes and number of lamps. Bronze chandeliers add character and rustic beauty to any interior space, while silver chandeliers can bring a more classic, understated look. You can also select from a variety of sizes depending on the function of the room in which the chandelier will be installed. Chandeliers with a diameter of less than 20” are ideal for smaller rooms like bedrooms, bathrooms or small dining rooms. Those with a diameter of 20” to 23”, 24” to 30” or 31” to 36” are used in larger dining rooms and smaller foyers.
