From an energizing morning light to soft, sultry evening glow, the proper lighting has all the power to impact the vibe of each room in your home. Lighting is one of the most important — yet most often overlooked — aspects of interior design, particularly when speaking of overhead fixtures. Not only is it the glow they cast, but the piece themselves that can elevate a room in a truly sublime way. The right chandelier helps draw the eye upward, adding vertical interest to a room, and can make a powerful style statement.
But we get it, it can be hard to know where to start. That’s why our designers’ have rounded up the top ten best chandeliers in a range of styles, from boho-cool to ultra luxe, to take your ceiling moment from drab to fab.
Boho Glow
Bohemian light fixtures tend to feature warm and natural tones — think clay, terracotta, and ivory — paired with muted earth tones of cerulean blue, sage green, or blush pink. Often accompanied by fringe, brass or bronze detailing, and wood and other organic materials, the best bohemian chandeliers add welcomed texture and an exotic, free-spirited feel to any space. Craving more boho decor ideas? We got you.
Anthropologie Oahu Fringe Pendant
This brushed brass frame from fan-favorite Anthropologie drips with several layers of island-inspired fringe, conjuring up laid-back beach days for a relaxing, yet lively update. Try hanging it in your living room contrasted with a jewel-toned velvet sofa or rich leather chairs. We also love it as a bona-fide show-stopper over the dining table or bed.

Chic and whimsical, this pendant light is a playful twist on a traditional form, featuring strands of wooden beads gracefully cascading over three tiers. The brushed metal frame is neutral enough for any room in your house while the navy beads add a pop of muted color.

Finely crafted with upscale materials such as brass, crystal, or glass, these lighting numbers are simultaneously timeless and in vogue, as striking as they are elegant, and add both a sense of alluring romance and a bit of a modern edge to your luxely appointed home (or pied-e-terre).
Studio Marcette Isabel Chandelier
Two tiers of delicate white marble tiles dangle harmoniously from a large golden ring in this statement chandelier that’s both eye-catching and crowd-pleasing. We absolutely love the traditional cascading look with a refined yet modern design. Make it the luxurious focal point over a formal dining table or elegant living room — or watch it shine in the entryway, welcoming you home in fashion-forward style.
CB2 Bubbles Brass Ring Pendant Light
Modern Paris meets Old Hollywood glam in this bubbly pendant light from CB2. The steel frame is finished with polished brass, and floating bulbs cling to the rim for a sculptural appeal. Though we’d fancy it over a kitchen table or dining nook, the metal finish will hold up to steamy spaces. So if you’re looking to create a European spa-like bathroom oasis, this one is calling your name.

We love it prominently displayed in a bedroom scene or living space.
West Elm Capiz Tiered Chandelier
Often referred to as “glass oysters” because of their fragile, almost translucent appearance, capiz shells let a muted, sunshine-y light dance across the walls. This chandelier from West Elm features an artful arrangement on a tiered frame, handcrafted by master Filipino artisans. We recommend it for a bold yet classy statement in any living or dining room.
Classic for a Reason
Some of the best chandeliers follow a traditional form, exuding a timeless charm that effortlessly pairs with nearly every design style in every room.
