From the fifteenth century, chandeliers have illuminated halls and foyers, but now, chandeliers are everywhere and the timeless antique look has evolved into more of a focal point

, where designers and homeowners can transform a simple ceiling and room into a masterpiece. Chandelier domes add depth and character to an already beautiful chandelier to transfer your hall or foyer into a spectacular area.

Smaller accents pieces are sometimes used to create visual interest; however chandelier domes are much larger and more ornate. A chandelier dome acts as a buffer between the grandeur of the lamp and the plain look of the ceiling.

The traditional and Pembroke oval designed chandelier domes are made with urethane, a plastic formed into a mold to cast into different shapes and styles.

You can add many different designs and styles to a chandelier dome, such as pictures of famous paintings or eliminating the chandelier entirely and opening it up to act as a skylight. The dome in modern architecture utilizes such materials as reinforced and thin-shell concrete, glass and steel and plastic.

Chandelier domes come in a variety of sizes and styles, from small, to fit with a small chandelier and room, to the large chandelier domes that would fit perfectly in a grand hall. The styles are traditional to the very fancy. You can also choose surface-chandelier domes that are easy to install.

Whichever chandelier domes you choose, you can be sure of uncompromising quality and long lasting beauty that will increase value and add a unique charm. The hanging chandelier is the most ornate form of lighting applied to the interior living space. Its appeal lies in the intricate way each bulbed arm reflects light through each prism. Chandeliers added to a dinning room ceilings and meeting space add classic elegance and ambiance. Chandeliers tap into the potential of ceilings, potential that is often over-looked.

Ceiling domes have been used for centuries to add dramatic decoration and forms to ceilings. When combined with the chandelier, the effect is enhanced greatly. Chandelier domes accent the true beauty of the chandelier without over-powering it. As the chandelier hangs from the center of the dome, the light cast by the chandelier's bulbs can interact with the dome's concave surface, creating shadows and reflections, adding to the total ambient effect. Chandelier domes also make good accents because they create a smooth transition between the ornate design of the chandelier and the smooth surface of the ceiling.

Chandelier domes can be divided into two types; recessed and surface mounted. The traditional recessed dome is very dramatic, and can even create a sense of extended height within a room. The surface mounted ceiling dome is generally more shallow and saucer shaped. Surface mounted chandelier domes can be easily attached to the surfaces of ceilings, requiring no removal of the structure.
