Chandeliers are one of the most sophisticated and elegant lighting forms. They are sculptural and beautiful. And they can add a huge amount to a room. Especially during the festive season. But… there’s no getting away from the fact they can also be expensive. With their dripping crystals and gilt and complex design, chandeliers can cost thousands. The thing is though, they don’t have to. And what many people don’t realise is that you can find a beautiful chandelier to fit almost any budget.
A Chandelier for Every Price Point: From Low to High
Low-cost chandeliers
Graceful and pretty, the Clear and Chrome Marie Therese chandelier shows just exactly why you don’t need to spend a fortune to wow with your lighting. At roughly the same price point as the average pendant shade, this chandelier takes three classic bulbs and is awash with acrylic crystals, which will leave your room all a-twinkle. Or if you have a taste for the gothic, the Marie Therese black five bulb chandelier makes a real statement.
Low to medium budget chandeliers
Chandeliers don’t have to sparkle. In fact, they can be just as dramatic without a crystal in sight. As the Elstead Quoizel Carnegie chandelier shows. With a bronzed finish and exposed bulbs, this is a light fitting oozing with understated character. And it makes a great alternative to the traditional chandelier. Bringing a lot more bling but still free of crystal, the Elstead Olivia chandelier has more of a traditional vibe, but manages to remain fuss-free, in keeping with the current ethos.
Mid-priced chandeliers
The Feiss Chateau chandelier is the perfect middle ground for those who want glamour and interest in their chandeliers, but don’t want the bother of specialised cleaning. With bronzed curlicues augmented with a handful of crystal drops, this chandelier is stately and tasteful, and yet still makes a big impression. While if the sparkle is your main priority, the Endon Camille really takes some beating. The swirling cascade of glass beads really shines, making any room feel really special.
Medium to high budget chandeliers
The Elstead Hinkley Spyre chandelier has a an understated organic feel, and yet still makes a statement in any room. Hand hammered, each design is ever so slightly different. While the rustic feel seems to carry you back through the centuries. Contrastingly, the Feiss Maryville chandelier is all about elegance and glitter. It still carries historical undertones, but rather than medieval, this design hails from 18th century France, and carries that air of sophistication.
High end chandeliers
If you’re looking for the ultimate impact, a chandelier like the Interior’s 1900 Oksana takes some beating. Nickel plated with faceted lead crystal droplets and elegant white pleated shades, this is a chandelier that will create a big wow in a big space. At 388cm high, this is not a light fitting for a low ceiling! But it is elegant and supremely beautiful. Or if you want a more contemporary feel, the Elstead Kichler Crystal Sky chandelier has all the glitter and pizazz without bowing too much to tradition.
So, if you’re looking to reinvigorate your home lighting this Christmas, a chandelier could be the perfect solution. Whatever budget you are working to.
