Lights Go Gargantuan
Looking for Drama? Let an Oversized Fixture Steal the Show
Oversized chandeliers have become more commonplace over the past few years, even outside the most grandiose of foyers. And the trend shows no signs of slowing down.
Shock and awe was the predominate emotion I felt when I saw a gargantuan fixture in a recent showhouse. Admittedly, I didn't pay much attention to the furnishings in the room. My eyes were focused and fixed upward so much I almost tipped over a vase that would have cost me my firstborn. I offer you this ideabook as a much safer way to view oversized lighting. Enjoy it with minimal risk, other than an occasional jaw drop.

A first glance one would assume this industrial pendant was retrofitted from machinery part. In fact, it was fashioned from a halved buoy and found a new life in this open-air lounge. How's that for a conversation piece?
A Murano glass chandelier encompassed by a sheer, sexy drum shade catapults a casual bedroom into a den of seduction. This bedroom is the perfect illustration of how one item can influence the entire mood of a space.
