SHADY Chandeliers!

One trend that we are seeing in many applications from restaurants, to hotels, retail, and in homes are traditional crystal chandaliers with a modern twist; a shade around them. This combination which creates a very unique contrast of “hard” and “soft” seems to be a widely attractive style to many people, so I thought I would scout a variety of options which vary in size, design, and price. With so many options out there in the market, it makes it hard to find just that “perfect” one! Therefore my suggestion would be first establish the type of application you require: dining, living, bathroom etc…? then determine your budget (which will dictate the options) and lastly your preference in shade material. The one thing all of these fixtures have in common are that they have a version of a crystal chandalier on the interior, but shade materials vary from fabric, to plastic, glass, mesh, thread, etc… So see what fits your style, and importantly your budget!
