The chandelier has long been a highly desirable item. A symbol of wealth and great taste; the bigger and glitzier the chandelier, the better. And while still very popular, crystal chandeliers have taken a bit of a back seat, and now we\u2019re seeing more modern, stylized interpretations hitting the design top-ten lists instead. I\u2019ve rounded up some of my own personal favourite chandeliers.<\/p>\n

Tom Dixon\u2019s Etch Mini Chandelier in Brass<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"etch-mini-chandelier-gold-on_1_1\"I love this effortlessly stylish piece<\/a> by British lighting designer, Tom Dixon. It has the somewhat magical quality of being subtle yet simultaneously attention seeking. The on-trend brass finish and sculptural shape makes this chandelier an ideal centrepiece and a guaranteed talking point in any home.<\/p>\n

Urban Chandy<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Rustic<\/p>\n

Built by hand using reclaimed materials, Urban Chandy offer a very distinct alternative to the traditional chandelier. Pictured is the wonderful Reclaimed Wood 18 Pendant Rustic Chandelier<\/a>, made using salvaged barn wood and featuring a mix of brass, antique brass and bronze sockets.<\/p>\n

Although based in the US, shipping to the UK is available \u2013 though you are liable for all customs and duty fees.<\/p>\n

Decanter Chandelier by Lee Broom<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Decanter<\/p>\n

This whimsical chandelier<\/a> features five hanging decanter bottles suspended from twisted fabric flex. It\u2019s technically a crystal chandelier too, since each decanter has been hand cut from lead crystal. This light has heaps of vintage glamour and wouldn\u2019t look out of place in a dining room or above the cocktail cabinet.<\/p>\n

Onsjo Chandelier, IKEA<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"IKEA\"<\/p>\n

The LED tubes of this IKEA chandelier<\/a> \u2018create exciting lighting effects that look like\u2026fireflies flying in the air\u2019. A highly-affordable piece at just \u00a345, IKEA proves yet again that you can experience innovative design on a low budget. I really love the organic, almost free-flowing shape of this piece. It\u2019s perfect for the bedroom or a nursery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
