5 Chandeliers That Will Make a Statement in the Bathroom

There’s nothing like a chandelier to add drama and interest to a room. In the past, this kind of statement lighting was seen exclusively in dining rooms or foyers. But as the bathroom has increasingly become a design hot spot, chandeliers have made their way into the space. A bathroom chandelier can add influence style and add balance to a design. It might hang over a bathtub or be centered in the room. When considering a chandelier for the bathroom, here are a few things to keep in mind.

Height and Scale
Because bathrooms tend to be smaller than areas where chandeliers have traditionally been used, you’ll need to think about the scale of the chandelier. You want to achieve balance with your vanity, bathtub, and other bathroom fixtures. While you might be going for a bold look, you also don’t want the chandelier to overwhelm the other elements. If you’ve got a soaring ceiling, you’re set up for tiered, branched, or starburst chandeliers. If your bathroom has more of a standard height, you might want to go for a more horizontal style.

Material
If you’ll be choosing a chandelier with metallic parts, check to make sure the material has rust-resistant qualities. Cloth shades might also be vulnerable to spotting or mildew.

Positioning
An elegant bathtub commands attention in a bathroom. A chandelier positioned over the top can make the area a focal point, drawing the eye in and creating an area of interest.

Electrical SafetyThe bathroom presents unique challenges for lighting. Make sure that the chandelier you choose is rated to perform in wet or damp locations. You’ll also need to make sure that it’s in compliance with local codes.
