Make a statement.
Whether you're looking to elevate your dining room or living space, statement chandeliers add a touch of warm ambience and classic style. Chandeliers come in a variety of sizes and designs, making it easy to find one that suits your style. Keep reading below for simple ways to choose unique chandeliers for your space.
Choose a Classic Candle-Style
Make a statement with a classic candle-style chandelier. Materials like wrought iron and galvanized metal are made to list, while the timeless candelabra silhouette adds rustic charm. Choose a simple candle-style chandelier to add a touch of historic appeal to a relaxed seating area. As a focal point in a dining or living room, candle-style statement chandeliers look best placed above the dining table or coffee table. Not sure what size or placement suits your space?

Effortlessly elevate a casual dining nook with an empire chandelier. Empire chandeliers have rods or strings of beads that hang from the upper canopy, creating a beautiful draped effect. We love unique chandeliers with wooden beads for a laid-back yet elegant look that is perfect for any coastal-style home. With the wooden beads and rustic metal finish, an empire chandelier pairs well with the textured wallpaper and simple dining chairs.
As a space made for relaxing, we love adding flair to a cozy, traditional bedroom with unique chandeliers. A chandelier anchors the space with a clear focal point right above the bed. Opt for a small chandelier with interesting accents, such as crystal details or glass shades, for added character. We recommend choosing a small chandelier to keep the space above the bed open and unobstructed. Look for a dimmable chandelier to keep the room cozy and inviting.
Bring a bit of rustic ambience into your dining room with a wagon wheel chandelier. With the large size and number of lights, wagon wheel statement chandeliers are a great option for lighting large spaces. The open metal frame and galvanized steel finish add some salt-of-the-earth style above the dining table. Pair a wagon wheel chandelier with a long, spacious dining table well-suited for hosting large dinners. Something to consider: An adjustable height chandelier is an excellent choice for dining rooms, as you can change their length to suit your table height and centerpieces.
Add structure to the space with a lantern-style chandelier. As one of our favorite types of unique chandeliers, the clean-lined geometric silhouette pairs nicely with any style, from traditional rooms to farmhouse entryways. Because of the open metal frame and adjustable length, lantern chandeliers are great for opening up small spaces. Lantern-style chandeliers allow natural light to pass through and won't take up too much overhead room. Opt for a brushed brass finish to create an elegant dining space or choose a matte black chandelier for a familiar farmhouse look.

Install a Tiered Chandelier
Create a well-lit dining room with a tiered chandelier. With two layers of lighting, tiered statement chandeliers are ideal for high ceilings and drawing the eye upward. Choose a candle-style tiered chandelier for a touch of nostalgic style or go for a round chandelier with seeded glass shades to add the right amount of rustic appeal. The two layers provide plenty of light to keep weeknight dinners well-lit.
Add an elegant touch to your dining table with a shaded chandelier. Statement chandeliers with shades give off a soft ambient light ideal for any dinner party or special occasion. We love the combination of the classic torchiere silhouette of the chandelier with the simple drum-style shade. Drum shades can accumulate dust over time. To keep your chandelier looking its best, gently wipe the lampshade with a microfiber cloth or lightly dab with a lint roller. The warm glow brings a bit of casual sophistication made for enjoying time with loved ones.
When looking for unique chandeliers, choose a fixture with beaded detail for a new twist on a classic silhouette. The crystal beads complement the mix of a galvanized metal finish and a rustic wood base, making it a beautiful addition to a traditional dining room. With a nod to nostalgic styles, the beads balance the darker materials and give the space an airy feeling. This chandelier is eye-catching on its own or with a crystal vase filled with fresh hydrangeas.
