Chandelier lighting has a strong dramatic impact which doesn’t work in every household; the rooms need to be reasonably spacious to support this type of lighting. The chandelier can be the main feature in a plain room or be part of an overall decorative scheme. Fixtures vary in size and style and are decorative features in their own right in addition to being a useful light source. Lighting installed in the ceiling above the chandelier can maximize the effect as this extra lighting "frames" the chandelier and enhances the glittering effect created by the crystal beads. Chandeliers can now be fitted with dimmers to alter the room's mood.
