Chandeliers and Other Decorations
Article by Mike Gonzales
As large living rooms and entryways become more popular in new homes and many homeowners are looking to make the best use of their space, the decorating challenge of high-ceilinged rooms with lots of vertical space can be tough to beat. Finding some nice vertical art and a stately chandelier can be the answer to filling wall and ceiling space and transforming an empty-feeling room into an elegant area.
Vertical art is one great solution to having too much wall space: tall, vertical paintings, photographs or prints can fill a wall to create whatever atmosphere suits your style. Prints of classic paintings are popular, as are panoramic nature views that can be the perfect solution to wide walls, bringing a touch of the outdoors to your room with an expansive, artistic shot.
Personal photographs are another good choice: you can blow up existing photos or get new family shots professionally done, going either for color or black and white, and use matching frames for a seamless, modern effect. Visiting art and print stores and checking out other decorating schemes for art ideas can help to give you an idea of what styles are out there before choosing your art. Consider which frames will complement your art.
Another key way to enhance large spaces is installing a chandelier: crystal chandeliers are works of art that bring a sense of opulence to a room, and the reflecting light effect on the crystal will dazzle your space and transform the room. Wrought iron chandeliers are a beautiful option with a mix of sturdiness and delicacy, coming in different styles to give a room a stately or elegant feel. Don’t let your open space go to waste: a chandelier and some vertical art can bring a whole new look and feel to a room.
