Baby Nursery Chandeliers Unique Lighting Options - Articles SurfingAdequate lighting is needed in any nursery for a baby's safety. But replace those Plain Jane fixtures and sconces with eye-popping chandeliers and you've got way more than just light. You've got eye-popping d'cor! There's just something about a great chandelier that draws the eye the minute you enter the room. We work so hard to create a lovely baby girl's frilly nursery with ribbons, bows and lots of other convections of color and style so a chandelier is just the fluffy frosting on the cake, so to speak! For a baby boys nursery chandeliers are rustic and in keeping with the interests of a little boy. Selections can range from sports themes to camping and the great outdoors. Rustic style fixtures will work nicely with many themes of the outdoors. Cover some existing mini shades with a buffalo plaid or burlap to make a generic black iron chandelier take on a whole new personality. Most modern homes can handle more than one chandelier. Don't limit your decorative lighting to the center of the dining area. Always gauge the size of your accessories to the amount of space to be filled. If your nursery has a high ceiling a longer fixture would be appropriate. If you are dealing with a standard sized area, a smaller selection may be order. Keep in mind that smaller does not mean less style. When shopping for a child's chandelier don't ask the salesperson to point you in the direction of kid's room accessories. Often these specialized items are overpriced and completely over-rated. It's much better to use your imagination and compliment your nursery d'cor. You really don't want an item that shouts its identity as a mass produced juvenile accessory. The lighting should give a nod to its surroundings. A courtly bow is not always necessary For instance, for a Disney nursery theme, there's no need for the shades to be covered in cartoon characters unless the rest of the room is understated. If this is the case, there's certainly nothing wrong with an area of activity. On the other hand, too many prints or pictures within any given area would not be desirable. Color and versatility are other considerations. It's entirely possible to start with simple black wrought iron chandeliers with white shades and get stunning results. Transform those boring white shades with some trim and Voila you have created a one of a kind nursery accessory. You will have a chandelier that can be made to work with any nursery theme. Completely change the personality of your lighting by looping strings of imitation pearls, twinkle lights or attaching silk flowers. There are many ways to embellish a generic piece if you feel the need for a little something extra. If you have a family heirloom then you probably should not deface it with spray paint or disturb the basics of the chandelier, but shades are easily changed and cheap to replace!
