Modern crystal lighting and decor looks nothing like your Nana’s, so it may be worth another look. Gone are the endless crystal drops that were impossible to find and replace, let alone clean.
Today’s crystal can look sleek, modern and still thoroughly blingtastic. Regardless of whether "blingtastic" is a word or not, if you are drawn to crystal it probably means you like a little "oomph" in your decorating.
Before I go full-tilt on loving contemporary crystal, I still believe there is a place for classically beautiful crystal chandeliers in timeless and traditional homes. I just want you to know that you have many options when it comes to crystal.
In additional to chandeliers, cool and linear crystal can now be found in unexpected ways like on the bases of modern table lamps and crystal-style legs on chairs and ottomans.
I happen to love how crystal has shifted in general perception over the years. In the past, crystal was considered heavy and old world, now, it has an airy feel and compliments a clean aesthetic. I like crystal on office desks, bright dressing rooms and on sconces that can brighten long halls.
1. This sleek crystal table lamp has an updated Art Deco feel that would look amazing on an end table or foyer table.
2. This modern crystal ceiling light by Possini Euro is just the thing for a hall with a low or dressing room. It’s like jewelry for your ceiling.
3. I have just found a crystal lighting fixture for your dining space! I’m mad for this polished nickel chandelier by Hudson Valley.
4. The contemporary home office is just the place for this polished nickel and crystal modern task desk lamp.
5. Add some glam to your boudoir or bathroom with the Monaco square ottoman with clear acrylic legs.
6. A chrome and crystal floor lamp may be just what you need to update your living room or by any club chair in the house. I personally like it beside a chair in the bedroom.
