A chandelier is, perhaps, one of the easiest home accessories with which to decorate. They come in variety of colors, shapes and sizes and there is sure to be one that will fit even the simplest design aesthetic. These chandeliers range from simple and rustic, made with mason jars, to the more elegant bronze and crystal chandeliers.

A pair of velvet upholstered accent chairs and a wooden table go beautifully with this classic gold and white chandelier.

Here, a wrought iron chandelier compliments the clean, simple lines of a danish modern dining room.

An ornate chandelier with crystal drops and an ornate bed upholstered in rose-colored damask don't overpower this otherwise spare white bedroom.

Here is a bedroom that embodies what designer, Jonathan Adler, calls Preppy Chic. A beautiful four-post bed, and a white-and-yellow striped headboard go so well with the yellow accent tables along with the simple white iron chandelier.

This is a lovely example of mixed-and-matched chandeliers used to compliment an outdoor wedding reception. The stone fireplace and the wood-slats add a beautiful rustic vibe.

Here is a very quirky example of a DIY chandelier. Pages ripped out of favorite Shakespearean plays, music books and fiction novels adorn this fun chandelier, which should be easy to replicate at home.

This glass chandelier in a pretty turquoise adds a lovely touch of color in a Danish Modern-lite bedroom. The truly great thing about chandeliers? They can go just about anywhere: the bedroom, dining room, living room...even the bathroom. Not only that, but chandeliers don't always have to be used for practical purposes (i.e., lighting); sometimes, they are just something pretty to look at.

Lovely, aren’t they? I love the simplicity of the 3rd image, I love the mixed-and-matched chandeliers outdoors and I absolutely love the pop of colour the turquoise chandelier provides in last image - not to mention the leather chair! {touching on a blue & orange combo, love it!}
