Who said you can’t find a chandelier that suits your home’s decor and size? It’s a myth that they can only be hung in bigger areas or they always carry an aura of grandeur. Let’s take you through our collection and prove otherwise. From lights for extravagant rooms to tiny nooks, from classic styles to zany ones, here’s our compilation of drop-dead gorgeous chandeliers from all across the world. One old belief is true, though – chandeliers can completely change the look of a room. Check it out for yourself.
1. A big turquoise overhead light takes over a dining area that is otherwise a neutral space. The low-hanging chandelier takes a chance with the low ceiling but it works by adding more depth to the room.

2. A traditional black candle chandelier has been brought into a stylish, modern kitchen. This one has a cohesive theme of ebony and runs with it. The monochromatic kitchen has a sleek spare look that keeps the chandelier as its selling point.
3. Sometimes the best looks can come from putting together a collection of unrelated things. This pink candle chandelier hangs perfectly in a retro art-inspired dining room. An assortment of quirky items like metal lunch boxes, vintage soda and glass bottles, leopard-printed table legs and a baby gate used as a partition, give the chandelier just the right eclectic space it needed. Don’t miss the colourful cluster of flowers climbing up its chain – it’s the final touch to this happy riot of a room.
4. A tiny powder room gets a whole new look with just this bronze antler chandelier, while a chic round mirror and 3D-textured walls add to the simple yet elegant look.

5. The grand chandelier in this dining room gives this area magnificence, mixed with a sense of the unusual, from its unique and intricate dandelion-head design. It is a vintage piece that once hung in an Indiana ballroom.
6. Instead of the classic crystal look, this chandelier went bold in a bright aqua hue, drawing all the attention. The intricate design of the classic chandelier is still maintained but the use of a bold colour is an excellent twist. Pops of orange give this dining room a bit more drama.

7. Why hang one chandelier when you have space to put up several? These crystal chandeliers take an otherwise cold and sterile bathroom and inject personality into it. With a concrete wall, stainless-steel sink and glitzy lights, this bathroom is a great marriage of the industrial style with a glamorous touch-up.

8. This one is in a room full of colour and chaos but blends extremely well. The neoclassical chandelier adds oodles of appeal and fits in well with the floral patterns and colours.
9. Traditional crystal chandeliers never disappoint. This one has a modern twist in the form of a sheer drum shade. With the clean-lined cabinetry and crisp grey upholstery, along with white walls, tall windows and a high ceiling, this dining space is tasteful and elegant. It gets an extra dose of understated grandeur with this opulent but shaded chandelier.
10. This birdcage chandelier hanging in this living room in Taiwan is impossible to ignore, especially in the quiet setting of plush and leather couches, grey walls and a white ceiling.

11. A cluster of beautiful upside-down cup-and-saucer lampshades make this quirky and dainty pendant chandelier. It magically creates an appealing romantic nook. The beige backdrop and matching bowl, along with flowering twigs in a glass jar, add a ambience that is simple and elegant.
12. Here is a contemporary chandelier in New Delhi with an eye-catching design. It has trumpets branching out from a central base. The gold finish completes the trumpet look; it seems as though this chandelier is about to burst into music.
13. This whimsical chandelier made of inverted bottles is an apt choice in a bar. The embossed ceiling adds drama.
14. This antler chandelier brings the wilderness to the indoors. It also adds layers and texture to the white-walled room.
