3. Wrought-Iron Candelabra Chandelier Centerpiece
Introduction and What This Idea Means
Lighting sets the emotional temperature of a dark room. Suspending a grand, multi-tiered wrought-iron candelabra chandelier from the center of your ceiling introduces medieval majesty and casts dramatic, flickering shadows across your black walls.
How to Make It
Hang a heavy iron candelabra fixture from a secure ceiling joist in the center of your living room. Equip the fixture with dimmable, flame-tip LED candelabra bulbs that mimic the warm, dancing glow of real wax candles without safety hazards.
Tips
Connect your chandelier to a wall dimmer switch so you can easily transition from bright evening hosting light to a moody nocturnal glow.
