Rainbows are symbolic of good luck and happiness. The multiple colors appearing as the sun breaks through dark clouds can inspire that brighter times are coming, no matter how dark things look at the moment. A rainbow chandelier is a bold design choice for those not afraid of many colors and standing out. Check out these various colored chandelier ideas for inspiration on using this design piece.
Our Picks
Rainbow Sphere Pendant
This bold, colorful chandelier offers a simple modern industrial vibe from seven braided polyester cable arms. This pendant starts with all of the cables gathered in a drop-down braid. Then each color flares into a curved shape that supports a single light fixture to form a unique sphere.
Designer Advice:
People typically picture bold primary colors as you’d expect in a rainbow. So at a minimum, you’ll want a piece with red, blue, yellow, green, orange, and purple. But some pieces go further with variations of each shade to give you additional colors.
Chaotic Abstract Rainbow Chandelier
Reminiscent of the old-school toys found in doctor offices in the wild days of the late 1900s, this multicolored chandelier creates an abstract focal piece. This chaotic lamp features seven arms in various bent shapes, a combo of plastic, metal, and fabric. Each arm is a different color, down to the light fixture, including navy blue, green, blue, yellow, red, orange, and purple.
Multi Colored Bubble Light
Make your ceiling stand out with a multi color chandelier composed of a bouquet of rainbow bubbles. The bronze body and wire-wrapped housing offer a vintage industrial artsy look. At the same time, the handcrafted resin balls reflect soft-colored lighting throughout the room.
Pastel Rainbow with Crystal Drops
Pastel-toned rainbow crystal chandelier lights are a great choice when you want subtle coloring with an elegant feel. For instance, this light-colored crystal chandelier has rainbow drops dangling from the contemporary-style candelabra base. And each multi-toned arm holds a candle lightbulb in a flared base.
Designer Advice:
Another way to go with rainbow chandeliers is to choose lighter pastel colors. Pastels give you softer coloring that isn’t as bold and in-your-face. Pastels might be easier to accent with your room’s decor. And they inspire a soothing, tranquil feel, accented by crystals, which help reflect light throughout the space.
9 Ball Turkish Rainbow Mosaic Ceiling Lamp
You can use this Turkish mosaic chandelier for an oriental, bohemian, or Moroccan-inspired vibe. A hanging wire-wrapped cylindrical base supports multiple hanging mosaic domes with intricate handcrafted detailing. You can customize the size of the base and the colored glass chandelier domes for bolder patterns.
Rainbow Leaves and Flowers Pendant
Give your space an outdoorsy, ethereal, otherworldly feel with the use of a rainbow chandelier featuring multiple leaves and flowers. This pendant is the perfect choice for nature lovers who want to have a unique way to bring the outdoors inside.
Large 3 Globe Moroccan Lantern Light
This smaller chandelier is a great choice for those who don’t have a ton of ceiling space for a larger fixture. Inspiring a colorful boho feel, this hanging light has a round base supporting three large handcrafted mosaic pendants hanging from complex chains. The tiered design gives you dimension and texture.
Designer Advice:
Mosaics are a popular way to display multiple colors in an intricate design for a cohesive look. Multiple small colored pieces are put together with mosaics to create a pattern. Then, when light shines through, you can see this design reflected in your room.
Customized Industrial Octopus Hanging Lamp
This unique customized rainbow lamp is perfect for artsy, industrial themes. Hanging from a drop rod, this chandelier can have three to 12 individual strings attached to the ceiling for a fun octopus look. This design can be the perfect addition to a child’s bedroom, playroom, or art studio.
