Replacing obsolete or dull light fixtures is among the simplest ways to freshen up your space, whether you are a tenant or homeowner. And you can take the new light with you if you move later.

Utilize a chandelier to define an open dining area, brighten a dark corner, make a style statement or mild a dining room. With all the different shapes, materials and textures available, there is a chandy out there for each aesthetic. So, go ahead. Light your way. — Dana out of House*Tweaking
