Here’s a rewritten blog post style, stripped down to the essentials:
**Home Tour Favorite**
* **The Art Deco–Inspired Pick:** A vintage, sculptural piece from Roll & Hill, with a vintage brass frame and a gold finish. It’s a must-have for a modern farmhouse home.
* **The Farmhouse-Style Pick:** A modern, abstract chandelier with stainless steel, brass, and glass details, perfect for a cozy or grand home.
* **The Best Round Chandelier:** A classic, antique brass chandelier with a vintage glass frame and a geometric design. It’s a perfect addition to a home with a touch of antique charm.

It’s a perfect addition to a home with a touch of antique charm.There’s something about the experience of existing under a chandelier that makes a person feel royal, spotlit, and of interminable importance. Basking in the light of a dripping glass chandelier in an entryway, dining under a crystal chandelier hanging with great dignity above a long table, or even admiring a thoughtfully designed light fixture set across the length of a kitchen counter—they all relate a sense of occasion. The best chandeliers are able to heighten the experience, literally and figuratively.
With that in mind, we put together a list of lighting moments to make things equal parts dramatic and aesthetic in your home. While the crystal chandelier is what—of course—comes to mind first, we recognize that not all (see: not a single person on AD’s digital staff) has the ceiling height to suit the large chandeliers of our Art Deco dreams, but we do have the ability to smuggle in a ceiling light that approaches that same effect without hitting the floor. Below are interior design selections for a living room, foyer, or dining room glow up, including the right chandelier sizes and styles for your sensibilities.
## Home Tour Favorite
**Specs**
* **Material:** Brass, glass
* **Number of Bulbs:** Four
* **Hanging Height Range:** 33.5″–55.1″
We went running first to Soho Home, whose chandelier catalog has emerged in so many AD home tours that we’ve lost count. The Lorenzo model is a particular favorite of Red Hot Chili Pepper’s drummer, Chad Smith, where it hangs above a dining nook in his family’s ski chalet, contrasted by a fur rug and Paraguayan leather chairs. The Lorenzo is indicative of the resurgence in artisanal decor and the sculptural glass lighting solutions that are making their comeback. It feels both modern and vintage, making it the perfect chandelier for merging styles both old and new.

* **Number of Bulbs:** N/A
* **Hanging Height Range:** N/A
Another artisanal glass piece, this Art Deco masterpiece from Roll & Hill is made from hand-blown glass set in a radial fluting arrangement. This comes in three metallic finishes: polished nickel, brass, and oil-rubbed bronze, each delivering an impressive variation on the same Hollywood Regency–inspired style, though all three feel suited for a red-carpeted entryway or a refurbished cinema. In our dream scenario, this hovers above a glass or burlwood dining table with color-drenched carpet underneath in a midcentury-modern homage.
## Best Round Chandelier
**Specs**
* **Material:** Capiz shells, metal frame
* **Number of Bulbs:** One
* **Hanging Height Range:** Up to 96″
Not quite a drum chandelier or pendant light, this scalloped chandelier inhabits a space, size, and shape between Art Deco and Serena and Lily’s characteristically coastal style. Capiz shells with a gold finish give this a vintage aesthetic, and its relatively compact shape makes it especially suitable for the focal point of an entryway.
## Most Ornate
**Specs**
* **Material:** Antique brass, glass
* **Number of Bulbs:** Five
* **Hanging Height Range:** 15.2″–27″
Pressed sugar glass, three-tier chevron construction, and amber petal-like segments that open outwards from an antique brass frame: This is the showstopper we’re after. Dangling from a high ceiling or illuminating an equally moody dining area, this work of art communicates you mean business when it comes to your interior design. Let things be outlandish, impactful, old-world. drama is welcome here.
## The Farmhouse-Style Pick
**Specs**
* **Material:** Stainless steel, brass
* **Number of Bulbs:** Eight
* **Hanging Height Range:** 44″–116.25″
For farmhouse styles, McGee & Co. was the obvious send. Their penchant for merging simple modern styles with rural craftsmanship makes for the sort of modern farmhouse that’s been all the rage for over a decade. This ring chandelier in antique brass looks nearly like the real thing—the real thing being a wagon wheel-style wrought iron piece from time’s past.
## A Budget Option
**Specs**
* **Material:** Metal
* **Number of Bulbs:** Three
* **Hanging Height Range:** 12″–51″
This modern chandelier suits a small space—its modern, abstract, and blessedly shallow without looking stout because of its reach. Both the champagne and dark bronze colorways lend a sophisticated modernism to the design, and these are compatible with dimmable bulbs so you can set the mood. While this strikes us as more of a dining room chandelier, who’s to say this wouldn’t suit a modern kitchen—maybe hovering over a long marble kitchen island?
## Most Artisanal
**Specs**
* **Material:** Metal
* **Number of Bulbs:** One
* **Hanging Height Range:** 12.75″–84.75″
Crafted from burnished silver leaf, this sculptural piece comes out of a collaboration with lifestyle luxury brand Aerin. This would be striking as a living room’s focal point or a dining room’s centerpiece. In other words: You can’t go wrong hanging this up. It appears much, much more expensive than its price point on account of its artisanal nature and the quality of its material—like you knew a silversmith willing to cut you a deal on something bespoke and genre-defying.
## More Chandeliers We Love
**Specs**
* **Material:** Glass, brass
* **Number of Bulbs:** Four
* **Hanging Height Range:** 31.1″–90.2″
Another home run from Soho Home: geometric panels of milky glass are held together by antique brass to make this round chandelier a vintage wonder without being the least bit vintage. We love the idea of a bedroom chandelier here, as the brand styled it on the site.
**Specs**
* **Material:** Alabaster, nickel
* **Number of Bulbs:** One
* **Hanging Height Range:** 11.25″+
For homes that are looking to maintain a super clean and modern quality, this alabaster shade piece with a polished nickel frame is the right chandelier style for an ivory-forward space with high ceilings—one that goes gallery with its inspo.

Lightology
**Specs**
* **Material:** Brass, hand-blown glass
* **Number of Bulbs:** Five or seven
* **Hanging Height Range:** 12″–84″
In any and all possible occasions, we’ll bring it back to In Common With, whose hand-blown pieces have appeared in our best portable lamps list, as well as many a home tour. This Flora chandelier has graced both this Greenwich village town house as well as this 1920s home in South Africa, a centerpiece of artistry in both occasions. Four finishes, five colors, and a five- or seven-light option allow you to make this piece your own.
