Light From Above: Choosing the Right Chandelier
Ever notice how the most overlooked details can often have the biggest impact? By replacing a ho-hum light fixture with a charming chandelier, you can instantly transform a room from ordinary to extraordinary. But hanging it is the easy part—with the hundreds of different styles and sizes, choosing one chandelier can be a daunting prospect. Here are some designer suggestions:- Choose a style that blends with your décor. A chandelier is a somewhat permanent home accent. You don’t want to have to switch it out every time you make a décor update. If you plan to stick to a contemporary look, choose a modern chandelier in chrome, glass, or metal. If your tastes fall on the traditional side, your light fixture should reflect that.
- Size matters. A large chandelier can dwarf a small powder room, foyer, or hallway. Similarly, a small lighting fixture won’t have much impact in a spacious area. Choose a chandelier that’s scaled to your space.
- Complement your table. If you’re choosing a chandelier to hang in your dining room, let the size and shape of the table dictate the dimensions and style of the light fixture. As a general rule, the chandelier should be approximately 1/3 the width of the table.

Redefining the Chandelier
When you visualize a chandelier what comes to mind? Maybe it’s the classic version, an enormous wrought iron creation dripping with crystals and brilliantly lit. For centuries, these ornate designs have been a status symbol of the wealthy and for good reason.
While these fixtures fit beautifully with many styles, a new wave of modern chandeliers is bringing a less fussy, more straightforward approach to the classic look. Chandelier lighting works brilliantly in most any room of the house. Place one in the entry for big impact or above a contemporary dining set.

What Do the French and Swedish Have in Common?
This brilliant settee from Wisteria! French provincial never looked so good than dressed up with a little Louis XV grandeur then subdued by Swedish-style linen. The curvy elegance of this settee is situated atop carved cabriole legs made of distressed wood. Two pillows are included for a bit of extra comfort. Use in place of a traditional living room sofa and pair with a couple of French chairs.
Even if you don’t own a manor house in the French countryside, you can pull off the look by pairing this beauty with patinaed metals, woven chair backs and seats and gold-gilded mirrors. If you have dreams of visiting Paris one day, tide yourself over by adding a touch of French style to your home.
Carry the French theme throughout your space with additional living room furniture that compliments your heavenly settee. Here’s our picks for a fabulous room…
Old world style and romantic charm meet modern functionality in this patina-finished amoire. Pictured in Honey Ash by Wynwood.
Add a touch of the unexpected to your living room with this exquisite Paris Flea Golden Teak Eighteen-Light chandelier (if you thought that was a mouth full try saying it in French). This one is to completely die for. So what if the chandelier costs more than your settee…if the $3,600 price tag doesn’t fit your budget take a look at some similar items that might.
Ethan Allen may not be of French descent but he did one heck of a job fooling us with this antique-washed Kashan Rug in muted shades of soft green, khaki and terra-cotta. Get one for your room. Your feet will thank you and think they’ve just walked through a Persian garden. Enjoy the spoils of a perfectly-posh Parisian existence!
