It sets the tone of the room and can be a conversation piece among guests. But first, you'll need to educate yourself about the different chandelier designs, styles and types, so that you know all the possibilities for adding a chandelier to your home. | | | This guide will begin with some basic information on chandeliers and the different types, shapes, finishes and functions. Then it will go over three things to consider when putting a chandelier in your home: position, installation height and brightness level. | | | Chandelier Design and Style | | One of the most exciting aspects of being in the market for a chandelier is the discovery of a style that you adore for your home. To match your home's design, consider the following types of chandelier design and which one might fit your home the best. | | Are innovative design and minimalism key themes of your home? Contemporary design breaks away from other styles to produce cutting-edge chandeliers that show how chandelier design can be reimagined for everyday use. | | | | Farmhouse/Craftsman Chandelier Design | | In the same vein of rustic, farmhouse chandeliers offer a pinch of nostalgia. These chandeliers often use clear glass or no glass to show off bare Edison-style bulbs, aged looking wood and metal accents. | | | | Industrial Chandelier Design | | Industrial design employs the use of exposed wood and metal to stir up the image of lighting that may have been used in a factory or industrial setting. | | Once you have an idea of the type of style you'd like, then you can consider the type of shape your chandelier can take. There's a lot more to a chandelier than just the number of arms it has. Take a look at some of the different forms that chandeliers can be found in. | | | | The Makers: | | Foscarini's Carlo Urbinati Finds the Key to Success is Freedom | | Foscarini lights are almost impossible to describe. Ranging from simple, classically inspired pieces like the Folio Wall Sconce to dynamic modern pendants like Allegretto, the Murano-based studio defies simple categorization. That's by design. | | Defined instead by freedom—in aesthetics, materials, and functionality—Foscarini has become one of Italy's leading lighting brands. President Carlo Urbinati began his 30-year tenure at Foscarini as a designer before eventually purchasing a majority stake in the firm. | | | | | | I would buy this again. | | "This makes an amazing outdoor lamp to eat and entertain. The perfect amount of light and the dimmer create the perfect ambiance." –Stephen | | | | | | Design is inspiring.
