Iron candle chandeliers come in a variety of styles.
Simple black wrought-iron chandeliers are popular in many rustic decorating styles, such as primitive or country d cor, while more elaborate chandeliers are often used in elegant styles, such as French or shabby chic. Whether plain and rustic with broad arms, or embellished and with slender, curved arms, iron chandeliers add personality to any room. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
Elegant Styles
1. Suspend a chandelier in a bedroom. Choose one that is painted and embellished with crystals. Light it with candle-style bulbs.
2. Add a touch of class to your dining room with an elaborate iron chandelier with many slender arms. Center the dining table under it.
3. Create mood lighting in your living room with a chandelier outfitted with real candles. Hang it low, away from the ceiling.
Rustic Styles
4. Hang an iron candle chandelier above your kitchen island. Suspend it from a chain. Use 60-watt candle-style light bulbs for optimum illumination.
5. Suspend a chandelier above your dining room table. Thread grapevines through the arms and wrap the center with them. Buy or gather real grapevines or opt for faux grapevine swags. Or change the decoration with the seasons. For fall, add faux leaves in colors like yellow, orange and brown. Use seasonal flowers for spring and summer and decorate with poinsettias for winter.
6. Welcome the holidays while adding curb appeal to your home. If you have a front porch or protected entry, install an iron candle chandelier above your front door. Embellish it with pine boughs, pinecones, raffia bows and holly berries. Opt for plaid bows and tuck a stuffed Santa among the decorations, if desired.
