Decorating with Antler Chandelier
Antler chandeliers could give a distinct look to a room. Often it is used as the focal
point of a room and the rest of the rooms décor is designed to complement it. Such chandelier
can be styled and designed in many different ways which makes it perfect for almost any room,
from a main hall way to use as a dining room chandelier. They can be a contemporary chandelier
or a modern chandelier. Unlike other types of light fixtures, like a wrought iron chandelier,
an antler chandelier has various styles. An antler chandelier is made from the shed antlers
of a variety of deer, moose or elk. The antlers are then cleaned and put together to form the
chandelier. Depending on the actual antlers, the chandelier can have multiple tiers or just
one. The chandelier can also be outfitted with light bulbs or candles. The different animal
the antlers came from influence the different looks of the antler chandelier. While an antler
chandelier is rather versatile there are some decors that do not look right with the rugged,
natural look of an antler chandelier. A room that is very soft and feminine would not be
complemented by such fixture. The best room for an antler chandelier is one that is minimal in
décor, has an outdoors feel or has a masculine tone to it. Of course, no one can predict
exactly how each one of them will look when finished, so it is quite possible for a person to
find a rare delicate looking antler chandelier that will work in a soft, feminine room. Décor
of the room is not the only consideration though. As with any chandelier when using an
antler chandelier in a room there are other things besides décor that need to be considered.
The size of the chandelier should not over power the room. It should hang comfortably in the
room and look in proportion with everything else in the room and with the design of the room.
There should be a study support, either a ceiling beam or custom made support. Making sure the
chandelier fits into the actual room is an important point not to be overlooked. Sometimes a
person can get so wrapped up in making sure it goes with the décor that they forget about
this. Using an antler chandelier in a rooms décor is fairly simple if a person knows the
keys to decorating with such light fixture. The chandelier should be a good size to fit the
room and the décor of the room should be suited to the rugged, outdoors feel of the
chandelier. Keeping these points in mind, such chandelier can add a touch of boldness to any
home décor. |
