An oyster shell chandelier is a unique addition to your dining room or front entryway that will undoubtedly have guests talking. It’s easy to care for if you follow a few simple steps.
These hand-crafted chandeliers can look great in any elegant home, especially a coastal property. They’re easy to maintain because all the oysters in a shell chandelier are thoroughly cleaned and dried before they’re incorporated into the piece. Once the chandelier is in your home, all you have to do is prevent the oyster shells from becoming dusty or dirty.
When you clean your dining area or front entryway either weekly or bi-weekly, simply use a gentle feather duster or soft, clean rag to remove any dust particles that have gathered on the chandelier. If ever you’re doing a more thorough clean, you might choose to use a slightly damp, lint-free cloth to remove any build-up from the chandelier.
Oyster shell chandeliers can match rustic, contemporary, or modern decor depending on the color and style of the chandelier. Oyster shells with a rougher and more natural appearance will work best with a rustic or beach-themed room that needs a hint of additional texture. However, avoid unpolished oyster shells for larger chandeliers since their rugged texture might overwhelm the fixture’s design.
Polished oyster shell chandeliers work best with modern or contemporary decor. Due to oyster shells’ silver tint and sheen, they add a beautiful hint of contrast and visual interest in rooms with dark-colored furniture. They may also work well in a contemporary room with light yellow and blue colors, reminiscent of a coastal scene.
