I love the glamourous industrial vibe of this chandelier; the black metal caging and exposed bulbs are very modern, while the gold accents keep it classy. If your fixture has exposed bulbs, ensure you are using ‘vintage’ style bulbs instead of the white bulbs we often use now to ensure a gorgeous display.

The dark table and chairs grounds the look by adding a strong contrast to the airy decor.

Nothing is more frustrating than moving into a new space, styling your piece the way you want, and noticing the fixtures don’t align.
