Creative milk glass chandelier

Designer Advice:
Look for the right milk glass chandelier size in relation to your room. When it comes to height, aim for 3” for every foot between your floor and the ceiling. You don’t want your chandelier to be too large or small either. So, sum your room’s dimensions in feet and convert them into inches to find the right chandelier diameter. For example, if it measures 12’ x 12’, your chandelier should be around 24”.

Antique milk glass chandelier
While it’s available in nine other finishes, its white milk glass design is the most adequate to inspire a nostalgic feel. At the same time, the fake candles allow you to maintain a contemporary perk in your antique or period-based interiors.
Designer Advice:
Crystal accents, ornate sections, and curved arms are some of the best chandelier features to achieve an antique vibe. These styles could potentially work in traditional or transitional rooms, too. However, they’d definitely look out of place in contemporary settings.
