![]() ![]() Furnishings in the room - Does your room feel too much of something? Like, does it feel too white, bland, unfinished, too casual, not casual enough, etc.? Here’s your chance to change it all - or at least a big portion of it - with one swoop.Glass beads are going to be more glitzy and are awesome for entryways, more formal bedrooms, dining rooms, and master bathrooms. White wood bead chandeliers are kind of like chameleons - they can be both formal and casual a lot of beaded chandeliers with natural wood tones can punctuate a more casual space, but dress them up a bit, nonetheless. Color - Depending on the bead work and trim finish, your beaded chandelier can totally set the tone of the entire room.Other lights - I already touched base on this in the intro but I definitely take other lights within the same sightline into account to make sure they won’t clash or be too similar.I like big lights and I like that chandeliers of greater scale can take up more visual space that small pendants. In terms of size, typically as long as the light fixture isn’t wider than whatever it’s hovering above, I’m good. But, if you’re positioning a beaded chandelier over a bed or dining table, you can get away with hanging it a little lower. Scale - how big can it be and how low can the fixture hang? Most beaded chandeliers have a bit of height so taller ceilings are needed to accomodate them in many spaces. ![]() When I’m looking for lighting, here are a few things I try to keep in mind: Today, I’m sharing 15 favorites - some glass bead and some wood bead chandeliers - across multiple price points. They’re almost fool-proof and you don’t have to make much effort to let them be a statement in your room. Farmhouse? Yep! Modern? You bet! If you’re looking for traditional? Absolutely. Most of them can compliment anything from brass to nickel to bronze, plus, they lend themselves well to just about any style. But the easiest fixture to coordinate with just about anything, in my opinion, are beaded chandeliers - especially wood bead chandeliers. If I have metal lanterns, I try to soften nearby lighting by using something with a shade. mix it up a bit while still coordinating. Have you ever been in a home where all in one sight line, you can see a dining fixture, kitchen fixtures, living room fixtures, and maybe even more? If one single finish or material (like all wrought iron or all brass) is used, it can look a bit “heavy”. From casual to formal and traditional to slightly more modern, they’re my go-to lighting in rooms where I want to coordinate with other light fixtures, but I don’t want them to “match”, per se. Or, at the very least, not have your fixture clash with its surroundings. It can be tricky though - especially when you’re in an open concept home or are looking for a way to blend several finishes within one room together. It can be an expensive task, starting from scratch or replacing fixtures that match your style, and that’s why here I am, almost six years into our home, and I’m still working on a few fixtures here and there □ But, changing lighting to something you love and something that compliments your decor and furnishings is an easy way to add personality and to bring a room together. The power of lighting - and the ability for a single fixture to make all the difference in a room - can easily be overlooked. ![]()
