When most people think of chandeliers, their mind immediately goes to the dining room. This is most often where we see chandeliers, so it’s not surprising, but they can actually improve a variety of spaces. One of my favorites to use them in is the living room.

A living room chandelier can instantly transform the space. It’s such a simple addition, yet the results can be spectacular. It can add that touch of glamour it’s been missing, a dose of whimsy, or even a modern, artistic element that gives it a unique identity. There are a myriad of options.
