Chandeliers add style and a decorative focal point to almost any room in the house. Though they have traditionally been used in the dining room, they are now commonly featured in bedrooms, kitchens, family rooms, living rooms, foyers and even bathrooms. Some chandeliers are designed with downlights to provide task lighting for homework, table games or to accent table settings. Others are available with fabric or glass shades, which reduce glare and provide an artistic element.
