Chandeliers: Not Just For Your Dining Room!

As chandelier styles continue to evolve, so do their number of uses in the household. Once found mainly in very formal spaces like dining rooms, ballrooms, and grand entryways, chandeliers are popping up in delightfully unexpected areas of the home. Here are some of the latest trends, and how to incorporate them in your own space.

• Chandeliers in the Bedroom. Chandeliers (and mini chandeliers, for smaller spaces) are a great way to add pizzazz to a bedroom lighting scheme. Choose one that truly fits your personality, and consider installing a dimmer to customize the mood in your bedroom on a whim.
  
  If you love the decadent look of a chandelier, but are having trouble deciding between a chandelier or ceiling fan, you can have both! Check out the innovative "fan d'lier."
  
  
• Chandeliers in the Bathroom. There's little doubt that master bathrooms are getting more and more luxurious. While vanity strips remain a staple in bathroom lighting, chandeliers are a great way to add ambient lighting to a large bathroom. Choose a finish that matches your existing fixtures, and you'll love the result.
   
• Outdoor Chandeliers. Yes, you read that right! Outdoor chandeliers are the new trend in outdoor lighting, and the perfect way to set a celebratory tone in your "outdoor room." These are designed with the beauty and detailing of a chandelier, but the weather resistant qualities of an outdoor fixture.
