Elegant chandeliers for trendy spaces

There's no denying that chandeliers add a touch of glamour to any room. Whether you're planning to put yours in a grand entrance hallway or give it pride of place in the living room, chandeliers make an exceptional design statement and illuminate your home exquisitely.

Why choose chandelier ceiling lighting?

Ceiling lights come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, but we're firmly of the opinion that chandeliers are the most refined way to light up a room. Unique chandeliers with decadent details, a brassy finish or tens of glistening crystals can be used to elevate your interior, create a focal point and add texture to any space.

The history of chandeliers

Chandeliers have evolved from their earliest forms, having originally been used to hold oil lamps in clusters. Even though the 18th century was perhaps the golden age of the chandelier, there's evidence that, by the 15th century, highly skilled craftspeople were already carving crown-shaped chandeliers from iron and bronze. These came at a price, so chandeliers were almost exclusively reserved for wealthy merchants, senior clergy or the nobility.

By the late 18th century, lead crystal became much more accessible. In turn, glass-cut chandeliers became an immensely popular choice for at least the next century. By the 1950s and 60s, more experimental types of chandelier started to appear on the commercial market. Now, modern chandeliers boast an eclectic mix of shapes, styles, colours and characteristics.

Should I choose a traditional or modern chandelier?

Whether you choose modern chandeliers or more traditional styles will depend entirely on the desired effect for your interior. At Pooky, we're proud to stock a varied selection.

Our contemporary chandeliers feature ornately detailed crystals. Many pair glass with brass, making for a splendid showpiece that glistens delicately both in natural sunlight and from the lightbulbs within. Designs like our Leonardo chandelier illustrate just one beautiful, complex result of diagonal-cut, textured glass crystals.

Traditional chandeliers retain many of the features of those magnificent, stately examples from years gone by. With its warm, bright hues, antique brass makes a wonderful cradle for mini lampshades placed atop traditional models like our Albafloss chandelier. Hang yours in the reading room, dining room or living room for irresistible grandeur.

How to clean a chandelier

If you love your Pooky chandelier as much as we do, you'll know the importance of careful attention and maintenance. You should try to keep on top of dust and dirt, as these pesky particles can impact not only the way your chandelier looks on the outside but also its ability to diffuse light.

To help you to keep it looking pristine for longer, we've crafted a handy guide to show you just how to clean a chandelier.
