Yes, this dining room by Amanda Nisbett is filled with beautiful furnishings (and curtains), but that enormous turquoise chandelier still manages to steal the show!
Didn't we all fall in love with the etageres on the counter tops in this kitchen? Note the large scale chandelier over the rustic table. Oversized, definitely, but it still feels right because of the simple, open design.
Oversize chandelier + lots of crystals = drama. And PS this photo reconfirms my love for gray and lavender.
Three of my favorite things - white walls, gold accents and a big capiz shell chandelier
And this one. So simple and yet so bold.
So there you have it - a beautiful light fixture can "make" a space - and bigger is better.

I love large chandeliers. They make such a great statement in a space. I love the one in the second picture. It's huge, but it doesn't take up much visual space. It's so pretty!
ReplyDeleteTotally agree. I love the drama it adds.
ReplyDeleteI love a big chandelier. Does that second image bother you that it is not centered over the island/table? It is obviously centered in the room.
ReplyDeleteHi Kim,
ReplyDeleteGreat examples of scene stealing chandeliers! All perfect and gorgeous for their surroundings!

I think lighting is absolutely key and to make it like ART, all the better; front and center, big as life. I love it.

Yes,yes, yes! I bought an oversized fixture for my kitchen and I love it. My husband just said, "Its kinda big." *sigh* I am trying to find one for over the table that has enough light and won't break the bank.
ReplyDeleteI love the simple and bold! - Brandy
ReplyDeleteDang that first one is amazing! I want a giant one in my living room someday. I have a builder home so there are like 20 boob lights to place!
ReplyDeleteIs this your not-so-subtle way of telling us that an oversized chandelier is on its way to Project Dollhouse? If so, that's wonderful news.
ReplyDeleteI like this look too! LGN's recent dining room chancy would fall into this category!! If I didn't have low ceilings, I'd be rethinking my DR chandelier!
ReplyDeleteGo big or go home, right? I have an oversized IKEA chandy in my daughter's room and love it! The one for my office is a bit oversized as well, of course, it hasn't been hung yet. Soon, I hope. Love your examples!
ReplyDeleteLove the Amanda Nisbet room and of course the eterges on the counter get me everytime... Beautiful images and yes, I agree less is not always more when it comes to lighting... these images prove it! ...-Ann (birdsofafeatherdesign.com)
ReplyDeleteCouldn't agree more! Oversized art and mirrors are favs too!
ReplyDeleteI say when it comes to chandeliers go big or go home ;)
ReplyDeleteCrystal chandeliers evolved through time but reached a height during the development of lead glass in England in the 17th century. The addition of lead gave crystal its clarity and sparkle, adding life and fire. Lead has the ability to make glass highly refractive which determines the quality of a crystal chandelier.Crystal Chandeliers
