However, not all chandeliers are created equal and the lighting needs of your space should be considered when selecting a fixture for your home. If you\u2019re looking to upgrade your existing chandelier or add a new light source, consider a glass globe chandelier. Globe chandeliers offer a unique twist on traditional designs and can add a sense of nuance to any room in the house.<\/p>\n<p>The shape of a chandelier\u2019s globe or the shade that encloses it is the defining feature of this type of fixture. This rounded cover is usually clear or frosted and can be the focus of a chandelier or simply complement it. This is one of the reasons why these fixtures are such a versatile option for many different aesthetics and types of decor.<\/p>\n<p>A classic way to calculate the size of a chandelier <a href=\"http:\/\/rhgeas.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Rhgeas<\/strong><\/a> is to take the height of your room in feet and multiply it by 2.5 or 3. This gives you an approximate range for the vertical dimension of a chandelier that will work well with your ceiling (or, if you prefer to use the Pythagorean Theorem, just plug the numbers into a calculator).<\/p>\n<p>When considering the style of a glass globe chandelier, be sure to consider the other decorative elements in the room as it can have a significant impact on the overall design. For example, a chandelier with a clear sphere will look best in a contemporary space with minimal d\u00e9cor while one with a detailed glass cover may complement a rustic or traditional space.<\/p>\n<p>In the modern world, it\u2019s becoming increasingly common to see glass globe chandeliers that have a layered look. This is often done by adding multiple smaller spheres that are hung in a cluster from the main frame of the chandelier or on its sides. The Tetra chandelier is a great example of this type of design, as it features one large globe surrounded by three smaller ones for a mesmerizing orbiting effect.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for a more eclectic approach, try adding a chandelier with a mix of different colored globes such as the color prism chandelier or the reef chandelier. These types of designs can give a room an artistic flair and are ideal for contemporary spaces that want to make a statement.<\/p>\n<p>Changing the appearance of a chandelier is quick and easy when you swap out the current globes for a fresh new look. The key is to select a globe that\u2019s the same size as the old one and one that compliments the rest of the d\u00e9cor in your space.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for a fun DIY project, try wrapping a hula hoop with sisal rope around a simple metal chandelier to create a beach-inspired statement piece. This is a great way to refresh a tired chandelier without the cost of an entirely new fixture and will create a stylish focal point in your kitchen or dining room.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A chandelier is a bold addition to any room and can make a significant design statement.
