Design Tips:
- For country style look for finishes that are not high gloss. Country living is about living with patina and embracing signs of age. Finishes with a patina or wear will fit in with country style. Oil rubbed bronze is a great example of a finish with character.
- Soften the look of a chandelier chain with ribbon or fabric. A tube of fabric or burlap will hide the chain and can be coordinated with other fabrics in the room.
- Cover fabric shades with burlap or raw linen for a more casual, country style on chandeliers and lamps.
Country style and chandelier might seem in opposition on first thought. Country chandeliers have a casual style that is less formal than classic chandeliers. Like transitional chandeliers, these ceiling lights can fit in with several styles and decors. Country
chandeliers have their design roots in American farmhouses and Tuscan villas. Simple materials like wrought iron, brass and wood make these chandeliers suit the simple lines and relaxed style of country living.

Applications
Country chandeliers work in any room in the home. These charming lighting choices look wonderful in foyers, dining rooms, living rooms, children's rooms and even on porches. Vintage and antique charm makes country chandeliers ideal for country kitchens and bedrooms too. Look for small size chandeliers for powder rooms or over a farmhouse sink in the kitchen. Larger scale chandeliers can suit a foyer or vaulted ceiling in a great room.
