A handsome mirror above the mantel in this traditional living room maximizes the impact of this four-bulb pendant. The pendant’s right angles echo the cased ceiling, and its copper tone references the warm glaze on the plates displayed in the built-in shelves.

The star of this living room's show is the gold and black chandelier that adds a sense of timeless elegance to the room. This light fixture also draws the eye up to showcase the beamed, vaulted ceiling above.

The dramatic vaulting along the perimeter of this living room is enhanced with by the pair of equally dramatic floor lamps flanking one of its three sofas. The symmetry is satisfying.

The oceanic hues among the hand-blown globes in this chandelier complement this transitional living room’s pale blue walls and patterned area rug with panache. Clear glass is more versatile, but tones like these are much more fun.
