5 Stunning Places to Hang a Chandelier

1. In a Living Room

When we thing of living room lighting fixtures, ceiling fans are often the first thing to come to mind. But when you take a closer look at designer rooms in magazines, chandeliers and grand ceiling lights are often chosen for use in the living room. Hanging one directly over a coffee table or side table has a way of helping to define a seating area and draw your guests in toward it. See how this lovely spherical chandelier sets the tone for this pair of sofas.

2. In the Master Bathroom

Once utilitarian in nature, master bathrooms are now becoming grand spaces that are beautifully designed. If you want to give your master bath a bit of a facelift, try trading out harsh overhead lighting for a softer ceiling fixture such as this. They can be hung in the center of the bathroom or over a bathtub for an added sense of drama.

3. Over A Dining Room Table

Set the tone for your family dinners by choosing a grand dining room chandelier that fits within your overall design aesthetic. If you use your dining room everyday for meals, you may want to choose a fun and casual style. If your dining room is reserved for special occasions and dinner parties, a more elegant chandelier may be what is called for. Don’t forget to think about the size and shape of your table when selecting your lighting fixtures. A long rectangular chandelier looks great above a table of the same shape while a more symmetrical silhouette holds center stage above round tables.

4. In a Little Girl’s Bedroom

Transform your little princess’ room into a fairy tale land by trading out their boring old ceiling light for a glistening chandelier. Because it is designed with adults in mind, it will stay with them as they grow up in their elegant space. Crystal elements catch the light beautifully and act as a bit of jewelry for their space.

5. Above A Kitchen Island

Big, gourmet kitchens often feature oversized islands. Because they are often the size of a dining table, kitchen islands can really support a grand lighting fixture hanging above them. We love this wine-glass inspired option for kitchens because it is indicative of the beverages you serve.
