One of the best things about a chandelier is that it likes to be the center of attention. This type of lighting fixture not only adds sparkle and light, but it also creates balance and symmetry in a room. The kitchen is an especially good location for a chandelier, so choose one with plenty of wow factor. To add an even more dramatic effect, play with the metal finish. A gold or copper-colored chandelier will add a touch of glamour to a kitchen, but be sure to check with a professional if you want a more modern look.
If you’re looking for a modern chandelier, you may want to try a large bell shade chandelier. This will provide a more abstract feel to the room. In a country-themed room, a chandelier with several arms will bring a rustic feel. Alternatively, a crystal chandelier with a rustic look is a great choice for a more contemporary look. Just remember that it should complement the rest of the room’s design rather than detracting from it.
