Star Chandeliers

Why We Love Star Chandeliers

If you’ve ever wished that you could pull down a star from the night sky and decorate your home with the glistening shimmer they bring, these are the perfect light fixtures for you. Bring the dazzling glitter and gleam of a starburst into your home with one of these stunning star chandeliers. A lovely combination of fashion and function, they’ll brightly illuminate any space they’re in with a stylish flair that cannot be matched. They can be fresh and modern with sleek arms extending in abstract shapes or classic and traditional with lantern-like lights radiating from the center. Either way, these exquisite star-shaped chandeliers are sure to make a statement as the focal point of your rooms.

Where Star Chandeliers Work Best

Because these pieces are so heavily design influenced, you’ll want to hang them somewhere you can truly appreciate the full beauty of their delicate composition. They’ll look stunning in a classic application over a formal dining room table but they also dazzle when suspended in a large entryway or elegant living space with tall ceilings. Not only will they add a grand touch of light to the room, but their unique design will also draw the eye upward, demanding attention with eye-catching adornments that are anything but subtle. They’ll act simultaneously as a centerpiece that takes up no floor space and a functional light source with a decorative appeal, so where ever you decide to install your star chandelier, the room will benefit greatly from it.

Favorite Colors & Finishes for Star Chandeliers

We love star chandeliers with a metallic, silvery finish that feels reminiscent of the cosmos, but designs with more creative takes on other-worldly inspirations stand out, even amongst these incredibly unique light fixtures. A gold finish maintains the starry shine, but brings a more earthly presence to these ethereal lights, especially when paired with glass accents that radiate a cosmic shine. And, abandoning a shine altogether, black metal additions designed to mimic a star shape, let the light itself do all the dazzling but still evokes outer space with its eye-catching silhouettes. And, on the completely opposite end of the spectrum, some of these lights attain a heavenly appeal with layered crystals that perfectly embody luxury and opulence.

How to Choose the Perfect Star Shaped Chandelier

Choosing the perfect star-shaped chandelier is as simple as keeping the size and space of the chandelier in mind. This style of chandelier is especially wide as the opposing angles of the stunning arms that give it its distinctive starburst shape splay out at unexpected angles. So measure your space and keep that in mind, but there really is no wrong choice with such exquisite fixtures. For a more modern home, look for something with fewer arms and a simpler physique. On the other hand, if you have a home with Art Deco decor scattered throughout, look for a large star chandelier with arms that extend at geometric angles to complement the existing symmetry or opt for a Moravian piece with heavy structural elements. Whatever you choose, rest easy knowing that your chandelier with stun everyone who sees it with its unusual composition and dazzling array of lights.

Other Considerations

These gorgeous fixtures aren’t the only type of chandelier that will dazzle and gleam with a unique shine. Sputnik chandeliers are stunning with a similarly expansive composition. Although they tend to be much simpler, lending themselves well to minimalist and modern decor styles. Star pendant lighting will achieve the same starburst effect in a much more compact fixture that you can hang in succession. For a completely different look with a more traditional feel, consider bringing the classic drama of a candelabra chandelier or a Spanish style chandelier. They have a much more classic look, but with a handcrafted feel.
