Black Crystal Chandelier

A design variation on the typical crystal clear chandelier is a Black Crystal Chandelier. While crystal chandeliers are twinkling and airy as the crystals catch the light they do not suit every taste or design motif. Chandeliers which are made of dark black crystal do not catch the light in the same way as clear crystal. The black crystal pieces gleam rather than shimmer. While clear crystal chandelier pieces are comparable to the look of the rain in a sun shower, black crystal chandelier pieces dangle with a deep glowing luster in the light similar to moonlight reflecting on a quiet lake in the darkness.

The beauty of a clear crystal chandlier is entirely different from the aesthetic of a Black Crystal Chandelier. A Black Crystal Chandelier is an unexpected and dynamic design statement because it is the complete opposite color of a clear crystal chandelier and creates the opposite effect. While the light shines through the overlapping pieces of clear crystal to create a luminous display a chandelier made of black crystal can be seen for its outline and solidity. It is hard to see the defined edges of a clear crystal chandelier but the same chandelier in a black color exposes the silhouette of each individual piece of crystal. Where one would expect to look up and see the reflected light of a dainty splash of crystal a negative or shadow of the expected view hangs in its place. The ornate and lacy architecture of the black chandelier can be seen in its entirety.

The stuffiness can be taken away from a traditionally decorated room with the modern addition of a Black Crystal Chandelier. The single addition of a dark black chandelier can add a bold and modern twist to a traditionally decorated room or space while still maintaining an element of the traditional. A Black Crystal Chandelier can also add just the right amount of contrast in a room which is filled with sunlight and decorated with light fabrics. Crystal chandeliers which are made of black crystal can also be matched to a room instead of being used for contrast. A black chandelier can be hung in a room which is decorated with darker fabrics and colors or in rooms with gothic design motifs.

These chandeliers are made in the same sizes and designs as clear crystal chandeliers. If the statement of a large black chandelier seems too overpowering for a particular room the design element can be incorporated in another way. A smaller Black Crystal Chandelier can be hung in a hallway where there are multiple existing ceiling sconces. Switching out ceiling sconces for little black chandeliers transforms a bland hallway into a more ornate and interesting passage way. Using black chandeliers in a smaller size creates a more delicate effect than one singular large chandelier. The addition of the smaller chandeliers is still new and modern but the smaller size is less intense and bold. Because crystal chandeliers also add a touch of playful drama and elegance another great place to hang one is in a walk in closet. The ceiling sconce in a walk in closet can be switched out for a small Black Crystal Chandelier to adjust the intensity of the lighting and the addition can bring some creative inspiration to getting dressed.
