Chandeliers, however opulent a look they might sport, are basically fragile objects that require a favorable environment to flourish. The environment in this context is the overall d�cor of the room in which the chandelier is going to be housed.
The importance of d�cor is all the more critical in the case of crystal chandeliers, which may be five armed or three armed, candle lit or with little glow bulbs. A crystal chandelier can come in different sizes. It may be oamental or a no-frills affair. Whatever its look is, understated or overboard, a crystal chandelier doesn�t blend in with all kinds of rooms.
For instance, a crystal chandelier looks out of place in a ranch house, complete with rustic fuiture. Similarly, a candle chandelier made of crystal, with a soft, romantic and archaic look to it, strikes a discordant note amidst futuristic fuiture in bold, striking colors.
Large, oate crystal chandeliers look best in a classically fuished room. The fuiture should be elegant and plush. In fact, Louis XVI d�cor, with its emphasis on intricate carving, tapestries and massive pieces would be just fine. Chandeliers that are smaller in size but intricately carved also work well with Louis XV fuiture, which is all about small, dainty pieces. For mode rooms with clean-cut, sleek fuiture, a simple no-fuss less oamental crystal chandelier would be ideal.
A crystal chandelier requires elaborate maintenance. To retain its gloss and glitter, it needs to be taken down every once in awhile and cleaned thoroughly. As it is, chandeliers do tend to gather dust fairly quickly, and the more intricate the carving, the more the dust that seeps into the nooks and crevices. However, the cleaning doesn�t require any chemicals; ordinary soapy water suffices.
The maintenance schedule may sound daunting, but owners vouch that a crystal chandelier lighted in all its glory is a mesmerizing sight indeed.
