Here`s the thing about lighting- lighting makes a space. When I see a room that needs some design help, one of my first suggestions is almost always about lighting. When we moved into our house, changing out all of the light fixtures was one of the first things we did. $40 fixtures everywhere to replace the old, outdated lights.

Whatever room you are putting it in, a chandelier can make a big first impression the style you choose can set the tone for the space and add character that compliments the rest of the room`s design.

When I mentioned a chandelier in my office? lol. You can add a chandelier to any space! As long as you get the style and scale right, you can find one to work in a dining room (of course!), but also a living room, bedroom, kitchen, and even powder room!

Choosing the location for the chandelier will depend on several factors, including the ceiling height, the size of the chandelier, how many chandeliers you are hanging (sometimes two look great together!), and what looks good visually in the space. For example, my office chandelier was moved 12″ from the center of the room, because when the built-ins were in place, the light no longer looked centered to the space.
