A Taste for Traditional Chandeliers

Indulging my love of history and tradition, this Design Story is dedicated to the timeless elegance of a crystal chandelier.

Delicate wall sconces and well placed candles create warm ambient lighting, while a magnificent chandelier illuminates this dining room in a soft, shimmering glow.

This opulent chandelier contrasts beautifully with the dark and dramatic wall colour.  It's generous scale perfectly balances the grand proportions of the marble dining table.

The sparkling chandelier is beautifully reflected in the mirrored surfaces, intensifying the romantic atmosphere in this chic and eclectic dining room.

This dining room is absolutely enchanting.  The glamorous chandelier, embellished with cascading white crystals, is a dazzling centerpiece in the space.

Creamy white walls and window treatments create a soothing backdrop for the striking silhouette of this chandelier's intricately scrolled, black frame.

The addition of small shades skillfully balance the light and dark elements in this dining room's rich and organic design scheme.

While there are many other available lighting options, I will always love the classic lines of a crystal chandelier, and the elegance it adds to a formal dining space.

An Entirely Enchanting Chandelier

Lighting is an essential element in interior design.  No longer reserved for the dining room, CHANDELIERS are now gracing the ceilings of almost every room in the home.

Lighting establishes the mood in a space.   A unique and imaginative CHANDELIER becomes a statement piece, adding tension, whimsy, or focal interest to the room's design plan.

For amazing drama and impact, a glass bubble CHANDELIER is a big, bold and beautiful choice.

This CHANDELIER'S appearance resembles air bubbles floating up through sun kissed water, quietly emphasizing the room's subtle aquatic theme.

Cascading glass orbs suspended above this romantic claw foot tub creates an entirely new connotation for the term 'bubble bath'.   

In this stunning home, the iridescent quality of the glass bubbles are further enhanced by the home owner's sparkling cloche display.
       

The ceiling height in this kitchen is accentuated by the over-sized CHANDELIER shimmering above the island.  The metal orbs are a tasteful complement to the stainless steel appliances in the space.

These CHANDELIERS are effervescent, enchanting and ethereal.  Lyrical, curvaceous and undeniably chic, a bubble inspired ceiling fixture is not only a spectacular lighting statement...

It's an extraordinary work of ART.
