chandelierThings happen fast in the world of contemporary furniture. Sometimes, so fast, that you might never have noticed an item had dropped out vougue and now is being pushed as the next big thing.

Let’s talk about Chandeliers for a moment… Here’s a furniture lighting accessory that we normally envisage in stately home or the bigger spacious rooms for maximum effect.

However, according to Catherine Lowe, senior interior designer with Alt Breeding Schwarz, Chandeliers are the thing to have hanging from your kitchen ceiling illuminating the breakfast table.

Bedrooms and modern bathrooms would also benfit from having a Chandelier creatively lit the interior.
“They add drama, elegance and romance to any space” says Lowe.

So, next time you’re out and about looking at the lightning accessories to compliment your dining room furniture, stop, and ask the salesperson to show you where the Chandeliers are kept or even better, go and hunt down the local antique shop.

Get a Chandelier in you’re life and start transforming that 2Up 2Down semi into your own personal Manor House.
