1. Center Your Chandelier
Create an instant focal point by installing a chandelier in the middle of your bedroom. This is the best way to illuminate the entire room, particularly if you select a chandelier with exposed bulbs as it will provide the most light. Select a wrought iron frame to give your bedroom lighting a more contemporary feel.
A dramatic fixture placed directly over the bed is not the only option for bedroom chandeliers. Skip the traditional table lamp and hang a small chandelier over your nightstand or bedside table as a unique alternative to lamps or wall sconces. Chandeliers offer an unexpected and dramatic look to your sleep space.
While chandelier placement is important, the material you select will also have an effect on the overall aesthetic of the room. For a boho aesthetic, opt for a rattan shade that you can work with. Place a pair of wicker trunks at the foot of your bed so you can store throw pillows and throws when not in use. Select bold prints and textured fabrics to match.
Chandeliers are more dramatic as far as lighting options go, so why not fully lean into the drama with the rest of your bedroom decor? Start with an elegant headboard and matching bench for an impressive bed setting. Finally, you can tie everything together with an ornate framed mirror to complement your iron and crystal chandelier.
For those who love the beach, you can easily recreate a coastal resort atmosphere with a wooden beaded coastal chandelier. The natural element conjures up images of driftwood and crashing ocean waves. Be sure to add lush white linens and aquatic artworks to transport you to your favorite seaside spot.
Wood and beads immediately speak to a boho feel that is great for an eclectic bedroom. While the materials and style can speak a thousand words, add a few more with the lighting itself. To control the amount of light in your bedroom, install a dimmable chandelier so you can set the mood as you please.
For an abstract design style, geometric shapes are a fantastic go-to. As far as modern bedroom chandeliers go, a sputnik design is the cream of the crop. While you may want to keep the rest of your decor more neutral, adding an irregularly shaped accent mirror will include one other unusual element to your room.

Tip!
Make sure to pick a chandelier size, regardless of the style, that's proportionate to the size of your room. Install the chandelier at least 7' above the floor. You want to make sure there is plenty of room to walk underneath it without hitting your head. Read our chandelier guide for more info.
9. Keep Things Light
If your bedroom has large windows with abundant natural light, you can extend that feeling of brightness to your chandelier too. Glass and crystal fixtures and accents will help your fixture maintain an unobtrusive visual while still casting a stunning glow.
Make a statement and say yes to all that glitters with a unique gold chandelier. Your bedroom will be instantly elevated by one of these showstoppers. Keep to the glam elements by adding a velvet headboard and gold table lamp for that magazine-like feeling.
