It’s All in the Personal Touch
Have you ever sometimes felt so depressed you wish you could just embark on redecorating your room because you thought it could give your sagging spirit some uplift? You may have; but of course you didn’t. You knew it would have cost you. But the next time you feel that way, there may still be some hope for you. It’s been said that the most affordable way to redecorate a room is to give it a new coat of paint. If that is true, then the second most affordable way to give your room a new and fresh look is with the help of new lighting.
Shabby chic chandelier is fast becoming a popular way to ass the right touch to a shabby chic room. The beauty of it all is that you can make your shabby chic chandelier functional, decorative, or both.
If you have an older chandelier that you need to dress up, there are many ways to do it without having to spend a fortune. If your chandelier is old and worn-looking, try adding some paint to finish it up in a brand new color. A “shabby chic style” look will come naturally with soft pink, white, ivory, or blue/ You may have to sand it first for the pain to hold; and you may have to use more than a couple of coats. After the paint has dried, sand the edges one more time, this time to give it a more “vintage” look. Now if you want to restore it to its original appearance, there are many finishes that can match with your existing chandelier metals at local hardware stores. Try using some beads and drop crystals for a more elegant look. You can find some good crystals in many unique colors such as pink, green, blue, lavender, amethyst and many other shades.
Charming old fixtures discovered at flea markets or yard sales can be turned into either a main source of light with simple rewiring, or a piece of decorative art by combining your imagination with fun items from a craft store.
Some people have even created shabby chic chandelier from things they have around the house. How about using a metal colander with small lights inserted in the holes, or an old lamp shade, re-covered in a lovely shabby chic fiber and suspended over a regular light fixture? You can even create a dramatic light fixture by combining the broken parts of two or three chandeliers.
The great thing about shabby chic decorating is that you’re only limited by your imagination and sense of fun. Shabby chic chandelier offers you the opportunity for creating one-of-a-kind lighting ideas to be the perfect finishing touch to your elegant, cozy décor.
