10 Bedazzling Living Room Chandeliers
Add glamour to your living room with chandeliers in all shapes and sizes
A chandelier is any decorative light fixture suspended from the ceiling, which may or may not be branched. Living room chandeliers were traditionally big in size, with multiple bulbs and a whole lot of crystal to give formal lighting. Their contemporary styles are more liberating, ranging from odd materials, such as wicker and distressed metals, to different shapes and sizes, especially for urban homes. Here’s a sneak peek at some gorgeous ones that can steal the show in your living room.
2. The ceiling of the transitional mid-century-themed seating area is adorned with a small crystal chandelier. With a modern rectangular shape, the chandelier doesn’t take up too much space and the cluster of crystals brings subtle theatre to the decor.
3. Woven from wicker, this textural chandelier is great for a minimalist layout, as seen here. The woven wicker strands help diffuse the lighting to create a warm, soft glow during the evenings. An added bonus is that one doesn’t have to worry about the crystals or glass breaking due to a sudden gust of wind from the garden.
4. This chandelier is also known as a drum chandelier and resembles a pendant light on the exterior, with multiple lampshades inside. The tiered layers with textured glass bring about an interesting play of light and refraction.
5. With dangling crystal balls, this kind of deconstructed chandelier (they come in non-traditional shapes such as linear, square, and so on) enhances the contemporary ambience of this living room. These borosilicate glass pendants are attached to brushed nickel bases with braided steel coaxial cables. The functional piece of art is customisable and one can set the length of each cable according to preference and space requirements.

6. The worn-out finish on these two chandeliers gives a shabby-chic vibe to this area. Thanks to their small size and placement (right above the coffee table) they can be hung low as they don’t interrupt traffic or thoroughfare. The pair of distressed-metal chandeliers complement the rustic coffee table.
7. Inspired by the industrial style, this branched chandelier sings stylishness and casts an ethereal glow over a contemporary living room. The use of dark, distressed metal brings a theatrical dimension to the room, while ensuring optimal lighting.
8. A pendant-style chandelier is strategically placed in the middle of the seating area to maximise illumination. The swirling pattern of the chandelier makes a bold design statement sans ornamentation.
9. This trumpet chandelier with polished gold finish pays tribute to jazz. The retro design of the chandelier is the show-stealer in this living room, with the horns pointing up, down, and all sides to provide ample ambient lighting. Doesn’t it seem like the trumpets will start playing when the lights go on?
10. Tavern chandeliers (like the one displayed here) are a nod from the past. This timeless design has a tiered design and the bulbs are encased in translucent glass. Finished with curved, dark metal, these chandeliers give a Gothic touch to modern decor.
