Why Iron Chandeliers?

First of all, let me tell you that not all homes are suitable for iron chandeliers, or for chandeliers at all. If your rooms have lower ceilings, installing an iron chandelier would make you need to watch your head each time you pass by it. If the ceilings are at an appropriate height, you need to consider the overall arrangement and decorations: if you are the modern type, then iron chandeliers would look like separate pieces and they would not integrate in the general landscape of your interior design. Not even the most beautiful Antler chandelier would match this setting, so you always have to take into consideration the overall picture before deciding to go for chandelier lighting for your house.

Types of iron chandeliers

Iron chandeliers can be of several types, according to their material, shape and method of working the iron.

Wrought Iron Chandeliers

These are the most elegant type, and due to the wide variety of shapes that can be given to the iron, they can be the best choice for many types of residences. They can have elegant curves, rounded leaves, curly shapes for the arms, circles, squares, or any peculiar shape the artist who made the iron chandeliers thought of when creating them.

Another beauty of wrought iron chandeliers is that they can come in different finishes like pure black, natural rust, old patina, antique bronze, silver, or champagne. In this way, home decorators can match the iron chandeliers with the other details in the home, such as the iron balusters or the front door decorations.

Crystal Iron Chandeliers

Crystal can add a warmer touch to the iron, which is rather a cold material. Crystals are known for their relaxing and well-being generating properties, so people like to have them in their houses. The crystal can be in fact a glass imitation, which could significantly lower the price of your iron chandeliers, while preserving the magnificent look which reminds of old castles and princesses, and an age which is gone forever, but we keep alive in our hearts.

Modern Iron Chandeliers

The modern style gave up the curves and focused rather on straight lines, simple elegance, more like the Buddhist Zen philosophy. Interiors tend to be very simple, with barely any decorations, with very few furniture. Definitely, classical iron chandeliers don't have a place in this minimalist setting, but there are a few models which comply and give the place a note of distinctiveness.

Whatever type of iron chandeliers you may like, you can choose between the classical, candle-light-like light bulbs, or you can have the more modern glass lighting fixtures which hide the electric bulbs from the sight.
