Choose a crystal chandelier for a more formal look. Crystals play off of other lights to add a glow to the room for a soft and elegant atmosphere.
Modern spaces call for a look that incorporates cleaner lines.

Expert Joe Niermann shares that chandeliers have existed for centuries and aren't just for the dining room anymore. Here are his tips for choosing a chandelier for any space:
Shop as many stores as possible--that way you have a better idea of what you may be looking for.
Follow your own instincts and personal style.
