When you think of traditional chandeliers, the first image that may come to mind is outdated and opulent designs more suited for grand, stately manors rather than your contemporary home. However, with a much larger variety of modern chandeliers to choose from today, it’s easy to find updated styles the better suit the aesthetic of any modern interior. Here at Castlegate Lights, we’ve highlighted a few styles to try and our top picks for you to consider for your home.

Crystal Chandeliers

If you’re looking for modern chandeliers that fuse classic and contemporary design, crystal chandeliers are a perfect choice. In recent years, traditional crystal chandeliers have been given a contemporary update to suit the trends of 21st-century homes, designed with a more minimal aesthetic that’s much easier to incorporate into modern decor. Whether placed in your hallway, bedroom, living room or dining room, crystal chandeliers are a beautiful way to illuminate a room and create a stunning focal point wherever they’re placed.

Try the style for yourself with designs like our Franklite Willow 12 Light Chandelier in Polished Chrome Finish with Crystal Decorations, our Impex Lighting Padova 12 Light Ceiling Pendant In Polished Chrome And Clear Crystal Finish or our Dar Lighting Nulara 6 Light Ceiling Chandelier In Polished Chrome And Crystal Finish!

Coloured Chandeliers

Another great option when it comes to modern chandeliers is opting for one with a pop of colour. Coloured chandeliers are a unique and stylish way to create a contemporary room feature and allow you to utilise your lighting to create or complement your room’s colour scheme. If your choice of chandelier has lampshades, try opting for a colourful option rather than traditional white or neutral tones. Alternatively, you can opt for a stunning coloured crystal chandelier that adds a touch of playful glamour and style to any room.

Try the look with colourful crystal chandelier designs like our Impex Lighting Salas 8 Light Ceiling Pendant in Red Crystal Finish, or pick a colourful shade like our Franklite Philly 5 Light Chandelier in a Black Finish with Burgundy Pleated Shades.

Industrial Chandeliers

Turning the opulence and glamour of a traditional chandelier on its head, industrial chandeliers offer the exact opposite. Characterised by its stripped-down aesthetic commonly featuring metalwork, hardware and bare bulbs, the industrial trend has risen in popularity in recent years and is now a common feature in modern home interiors. On-trend and effortlessly stylish, the pared-back and gritty style of industrial-style modern chandeliers provide any interior with a cool and contemporary feel. Hang above a kitchen island or your living room for a statement piece that exudes modern style.
