When I was a kid, I ruled the dining room dimmer switch. My mom had this gorgeous vintage painted chandelier, and I was obsessed with casting just the right light over our nightly meal. Too bright, and you’re in the doctor’s office. Too dim, and you can’t tell whether the potatoes touched the green beans (I was a picky eater, too. Sorry, Mom.)
The thing about lighting is that it makes a big statement in a not-so-obvious way. It’s easy to notice a bright couch or big piece of art hanging on the wall, but the right lighting is like the right make-up application — so perfect that it’s inconspicuous.
That’s the great thing about crystal chandeliers. They blend with a room’s other styles and colors while providing a POP of something special.
Slap a dimmer switch on these babies, and you’re in business!
