Chandeliers are decorative fixtures that set the tone of the dining room and inject your personality into the space. They are the final statement pieces of the room decor as well as the finishing touch to the overall context of a layered lighting design. The chandelier is the most classic of all dining room lighting fixtures. Because they were once heavy and expensive, chandeliers have traditionally held court only in the dining room and foyer which are the most formal areas of the home. Dining rooms and chandeliers go hand in hand. While the chandelier design has evolved over the centuries to accommodate both formal and casual decors, modern dining rooms have taken on more roles as well. They serve many purposes beyond simply being a place of enjoying cuisines. A modern dining room is a place where a big part of our life unfolds. It is a place of hospitality to family and friends where conversations flow freely and everyone is invited to be relaxed and recharged. Suspending a chandelier over a dining table remains a design staple. The expanding array of chandelier designs can challenge any dining room decor, whether it is formal or casual, traditional or modern.
