If you have an older chandelier that you need to dress up there are many ways to do it without having to spend a fortune.
If your chandelier is old and worn looking, trying adding some paint to finish it up in a brand new color. If your looking for that "shabby chic style" look - try a soft pink, white, ivory or blue. You may have to sand it first for the paint to be able to hold, and you may have to use more than a couple of coats. After the paint has dried, you may want to sand the edges a bit to give it a sort of "vintage" look. If you want to restore it's original appearance, there are many finishes you can match with your existing chandelier metals at your local hardware store. Try adding some beads and drop crystals for an elegant appearance. You can find many crystals in unique colors such as pink, green, blue, lavender, amethyst and many other shades.
Chandelier shades are becoming a new trend. There are many different varieties of chandelier shades out there to choose from: plain, beaded trim, embroidered, roses and many more. These shades usually come with an easily attachable bottom that can be clipped onto the candelabras of the chandelier.
Are you tired of looking at that boring chandelier chain? Try a slip on chain cover. These chain covers come in materials such as cotton or satin and are long enough to be slipped over your chain to give it an elegant touch.
