1. GO ALL-OUT GLAMOUR WITH CASCADING GLASS
The capiz shell-style chandelier is a beautiful addition to any room. Creating soft, diffused lighting that shines through the cascading shells, they are effortlessly beautiful and create a relaxed mood, plus a touch of elegance to a luxury bedroom. This material has strong ties to nature and is favored as a good substitute for glass, soothingly reflecting the light.
2. STAY SIMPLE AND SUBTLE WITH INDIVIDUAL SHADES
Chandeliers featuring individual lampshades are a timeless look that is subtle and sophisticated. This is the bedroom of designer Marie Flanigan, who chose the pretty bedroom light fixture for its scale and finish.
3. CONTRAST MODERN AND TRADITIONAL
Traditional style chandelier styles rely on hanging crystals or cut fragments of glass to illuminate the room through refracted light and really makes an impression in a glamorous bedroom. While modern chandeliers work in different ways to cast light, there is no reason a modern bedroom design can't work with a traditional chandelier for a beautiful juxtaposition of old and new.
4. GO FOR TEXTURE
Texture and natural materials can be a beautiful addition to your bedroom, softening the space and bringing in those natural qualities that make your room calming and the perfect sleep sanctuary. Why not extend this to your light fixture, looking out for chandeliers made from materials like rattan, wood, wicker to give a chic but boho bedroom look.
5. TRY ART DECO STYLE
Art Deco style lighting can add a touch of Hollywood Regency glamour to a bedroom. Think gold, brass, bulbs and geometric shapes to create real focus above your bed. This Caracas chandelier design by Jonathan Adler has a distinctive geometric look to it, with 16 bulbs providing ample light to your bedroom. The antiqued brass creates a classic contrast. Make sure you use frosted bulbs for this kind of light fixture to avoid any harsh or overly bright glare.
6. PICK A CONTEMPORARY LOOK
The whimsical, tube-like structure to this light fixture gives a modern bedroom look to any room, and works particularly well for a bedroom where playful curves give a relaxed feel to the space. The Scandinavian bedroom light shines brightly down and provides spotlights that are rotating, meaning you can adapt the mood and atmosphere as you see fit. The matt colors are a nice addition too, coming in a range from grey to a pale terracotta. Noa Santos of Nainoa selected a white matt to complement the tangerine suede walls in a West 11th townhouse.
7. OR A FAN-STYLE LIGHT FIXTURE
The statement light fan look is also another fixture that is gaining popularity throughout the home. In the bedroom it adds a softness to the space with its wave-like movement that makes it look like it is floating on air. The curvy outer wire attaches to the singular light bulb via many silky ribbons that cast moody shadows overhead.
8. USE LED LIGHTING
LED lighting on your chandelier is a modern way to save electricity on your home's lighting. This Moooi Heracleum III LED Chandelier is a LED chandelier where the 'leaves' on the chandelier's branches are 63 polycarbonate lenses which reflect the light of 63 internal LED lights.
