Whimsical Chandeliers

Whimsical Chandelier

Introduce a playful look to the interior of the home with whimsical fixtures. These quirky and casual pieces enhance the décor with their many different styles, allowing for a range of fun and appealing looks for the home. Many chandeliers are elaborate and intricate, commanding a presence when introduced to the room as they draw the eye upward and grab attention. A whimsical chandelier will do the same, but rather than present a bold or sophisticated or luxurious look, they may draw attention with a casual or fun presence instead. Many of these chandeliers contain layers of glass, shaped into winding patterns to diffuse the light in an uncommon, yet engaging presence. A minimalist look for some of these pieces consists of a collection of thin rods or sticks arranged in an asymmetrical way that provides a fun look for the home.

Other Considerations

Regardless of style, each fixture should be measured before purchasing. For chandeliers, measure the height and width of the space. The width is important because many chandeliers are larger than they seem, carrying elaborate silhouettes. If the piece fits in the room, but the overall look is too crowded, the room will look stunted, interrupting flow. The height is important because the chandeliers may have a lengthy cord. Measuring the height will determine how far down the chandelier will hang, allowing a better picture of the result once the chandelier is installed.

After whimsical chandeliers have been introduced to the home, consider other whimsical items to continue the look. One of these categories is whimsical outdoor wall lighting, a way to keep the casual and fun nature into the outdoors, ensuring not only the home feels this way, but the yard and patio does too. For any whimsical outdoor pieces, such as floor lamps, table lamps, pendants and furniture, make sure the location rating is appropriate. Each item should have a damp or wet rating if it is going to be outside. A damp rating means the piece needs to be covered and not able to be directly in contact with water, such as under a covered patio. A wet rating means the piece can be directly exposed to water, so it can be out in the open and rained on as much as desired.
