You might not realize it, but there are quite a variety of lighting fixtures that qualify as chandeliers. In fact, any overhead lighting fixture that incorporates from three lights upwards is considered a chandelier, and it does not have to be covered in glass or crystal for that traditional chandelier look. Chandeliers are available in many different styles, and you can personalize the look of a chandelier to a room by adding chandelier shades to the lighting. Chandelier shades will add a great finishing touch to your room, setting off the warm inviting glow of the light through a specially tailored filter.
Chandeliers can be used in any room in the house, and making them fit in with the overall theme is the part of the chandelier shade. In your children’s room, you may want to consider using chandelier shades that are appropriate to the theme of the room. There are abundant shades available for this purpose, such as the TOO CUTE tea party chandelier. Ideal for a little girl’s room, these shades are pink and the light fixtures themselves are tiny tea pots standing upright from the arms of the chandelier. Older girl’s rooms might find the small doll chandelier, with lacy chandelier shades in several pastel colors and the stands made form little doll figures, more appropriate. For your boy, there is the TOO CUTE cowboy boot chandelier and shades. For other rooms in the house, you will want to go with chandelier shades that are a little more conservative and that keep the theme of the room going. One suggestion is to match the color of the shades with the color of the fabric on other furniture in the room- you can even make chandelier shades yourself, either from scratch or by purchasing a pattern and kit from a craft store. Living rooms and dining rooms are great places to utilize a chandelier shade. While the idea of a chandelier might conjure up images of ballrooms, opera houses, or at the very least the dining rooms of the very wealthy, the fact is that chandeliers are available to anyone at very affordable prices. It might be that crystal chandeliers are simply too upper scale as far as your home décor goes, but this does not mean that a chandelier is inappropriate to your home. With the right type of chandelier shades, any chandelier can be made to fit the décor of any home perfectly. Chandelier shades are available in many locations, from your local lighting store to special orders that you can place over the Internet and, of course, on eBay.
