You’ve found the perfect chandelier for your home, but when you switch it on, it’s far too bright. This is where a chandelier light cover comes in. With a chandelier light cover, you can diffuse the brightness of a bulb and create a soft and warm ambiance instead. Light covers don’t have to be boring, either. Beads and other details prevent them from looking dull. Our design experts have picked some of the best chandelier light covers for you below.
Our Picks
Blue Chandelier Light Cover
This beautiful light cover is a vintage piece from the 1990s. Made from glass with graduating beads, it has a stunning sky-blue finish. The open seam cover allows for easy removal, whereas the hook and eye closure make it extra secure.
Designer Advice:
The finish of this light cover would look stunning in a room with blue accents. Blue is a naturally calming color, and we recommend enhancing this tranquil feeling by sticking to one main color. If your chandelier is in your bedroom, white bedding with blue flowers will lend a traditional and pretty finishing touch to your space.
Rainbow Decorative Light Bulb Cover
This bulb cover is inspired by Moroccan designs. Made from intertwining circle glass beads with wire in between, it has a rainbow color scheme that includes purple, red, orange, green, and blue amongst other colors. It fastens via a metal hook.
Designer Advice:
We love the bright and bold rainbow design of this bulb cover. It would be a good choice for a playroom, as it will match many different colors due to the rainbow design. Plus, children will love that the rainbow beads will cast a multicolored glow over their playroom when the sun goes down.
Crystal Beaded Bulb Cover
A vintage piece, this bulb cover has a crystal-inspired design featuring clear beads. It is in good condition, aside from a few scratches and tarnished wire. A securing wire at the bottom is included, as is an opening for a bulb.
Designer Advice:
Looking like something straight out of the roaring ‘20s, we love the elegant finish of this bulb cover. We recommend pairing it with a cool white light bulb for a brighter look, or a warm white one if you prefer a cozier ambiance. Alternatively, using a colored bulb would turn any space into a party room instantly without hassle.
Clear Chandelier Bulb Cover
Handmade from glass and metal, this cover is suited to standard bulb variants and has a metal hook for fastening. Featuring clear beads woven together by wire, it will reflect light and have either a cool or warm finish depending on the bulb used.
Iridescent Bulb Cover
The gorgeous iridescent finish of this cover is great for adding some glamour to your home. The clear beads are mixed with beads inspired by the northern lights and then woven in with wire. It would best fit a candle bulb.
Milk Glass Light Bulb Cover
Crafted from milk glass that gives it a frosted effect, this bulb cover also features a unique swirling pattern in shades of brown. It has no chips or cracks but has some small scratches at the base due to age.
