Oversized chandeliers are becoming more commonplace over the last few years, even outside the most grandiose of foyers. And the trend shows no signs of slowing down.

Shock and amazement was the predominate emotion I felt when I watched a gargantuan fixture in a current showhouse. Admittedly, I didn’t pay much attention to the furnishings in the room. My eyes have been focused and repaired up so much that I almost tipped over a vase which could have cost me my firstborn. I provide you this ideabook as a far safer way to see oversized lighting. Love it with minimal danger, besides an occasional jaw drop.

In excellent balance from the ground to the ceiling, everything has a pair. Both drum shade chandeliers are a handsome duo that pushes the distance toward modern. Its high contrast also produces a picture influence in color, form and function.

The previous images would lead one to feel that oversized lighting just exists in modern design. In this dining room, a bodacious crystal chandelier finds itself at the intersection of modern and conventional. Its prosperity of reflective stone elevates this dining space to the summit of elegance.
