I know this may be really gay, but almost every room in my house has a chandelier. I know this may be even more gay, but in my home we call them Chandies.
Lighting is the most important design element that you can add to a room. Lighting makes a statement, sets a mood, and if done correctly, works as a statement piece to build an interior design or concept around. A pop of color chandelier is the most interesting, trendy way to simultaneously bring color into a room and provide an anchor upon which to build the rest of your decor.
Handy trick: If you can’t find a colorful chandy, buy a vintage one and spray paint it. It’ll be high up, so nobody will be able to see the imperfections and it’ll instantly transform a drab room into a chic palace.
