We all know that crystals make a magnificent display as they hang, like glass teardrops, from a crystal chandelier in a stately home.  Modern chandeliers, suitable for our modern and more modest abodes, are also increasingly popular and these almost always incorporate crystal prisms in either traditional or modern designs to great effect. However, crystals are no long just confined to chandeliers.  Nowadays, more and more people are using crystal prisms all around their homes to bring some of that grace and elegance into their ordinary lives. 

There are many wonderful ways that you can incorporate crystal prisms into the decor all over your house -

Hang crystal prisms from the light fittings or in the window of a baby or child's room.  Children are fascinated by color, light and pattern, imagine the fascination for your child as she or he watches this natural light-show play out as tiny rainbows are sprinkled all over the room. Replace the finials on your staircase with crystal prisms. Use a reclaimed - or even new and remodeled - crystal chandelier as a focal point in your living area,  If you need replacement crystals for your chandelier, these are widely available.  However, even if the crystals on your chandelier are all intact, consider hanging extra crystal prisms along the bottom to give it even more beauty and grace.

You don't have to restrict your use of crystal prisms to ceiling lights.  These can look amazing hung from light fittings and sconces fitted to walls and can bring sparkle and light to previously dark alcoves and corners. Create a romantic bathroom ambiance by hanging crystal prisms from the light fitting and over and under candle holders. You could even go that extra mile in crystal opulence and install crystal faucet handles on your sinks and baths.

Replace the knobs on your bedroom dressers - or even your kitchen cupboards - with sparkling crystal knobs.

Hang crystal prisms from the drapery around windows in every room of your house and watch the room light up.

Fill a small bowl with crystal prisms and place it on a table near a window or on a sunroom or patio table and watch the rainbows emerge.

Crystal is the ideal material to bring beauty, grace and color to decorations for the Holidays.  As well as adding crystal prisms to your Christmas tree, hang crystal prisms from candle holders, wrap strings of crystal beads around napkins and even temporarily from the light fittings to bring this natural beauty to your festive occasion.

Crystal Elegance

Posted on June 23, 2012 by Abby McMaugh

 

Crystal chandeliers have that wonderful ability to engender the feeling of elegance and warmth to wherever they hang. For the reason that interior lighting of your home is an essential ingredient, it makes sense to use crystal chandeliers as a way of fostering, supplementing and embellishing the ambiance in whatever manner you can think of. We have heard talks of people “lighting up” with delight and we know, at once, what it actually implicates. Well-planned lighting will most certainly render the life and vibrancy to the reception and living rooms that you want. You can fiddle with the lighting just like ingredients of your favorite dish. Gentle light creates cozy and laid-back settings; different colors set a variety of moods. You can have fun and pleasure in selecting the kinds of lighting with which you feel comfortable. If you think you need to incite certain facets of your individuality, your personality, see if you can make a decision on how to coordinate these.

By molding these aspects to your needs and wishes, you gradually acquire the feeling that you are being more attuned and at one with your surroundings. Consider the old adage, “Your home is your castle.” Most of us would consider castles to be structural statements of unbeatable strength—effectively thwarting outside intrusions. So let kings choose their castles as they may wish, with their dungeons of decaying enemies. This is so far from the reality of the world many of us live in. The main point of this analogy is to ask the question, “Shouldn’t your dwelling be a reflection of you, of what is important to you?” Thus, this article suggests that it is a recommendable idea of making a house mirror the owner’s personality. The simplest way to do this is through crystal chandeliers.

Some of the most preferred ways of enriching our lives is to indulge our senses by being in touch with delightful objects. Crystal chandeliers have enchanted the moods of all who gaze on them for since the time of kings and knights. They come in such a plethora of variety that anyone is bound to find some style that fit them. If you decide to go for one of the larger imposing models, be certain that it is what you really want. Maybe you would not want it on all the time as your principal lighting though. Hence, it is recommended to keep options open such as have matching wall sconces with different light switches.

Your personality never gets out of the picture.

Crystals have their own charm. It has always been that way for many centuries. They even have therapeutic value as people heal themselves with them. Wherever you see clear or colored crystals, it catches your eye with its own magic. They are the womb of rainbows and give birth to delight and jollity. Who got it right by combining those together creating the ever-enchanting crystal chandelier? We can also get it right by bringing in these qualities to our lives, enriching our environment, enriching ourselves. Well, this is only a thought. In the mystic realms of our unconscious, we create our world. The world is not boxed in any definable way. It is people who add their own personal realities to the world; covering it with their words, their senses. Why not add the reality we want. Taking control of your lighting makes sense from the most fundamental to the downright practical.
