Chandeliers, chandeliers and more chandeliers! An old trend will be reinvented in 2012 as lighting designers will be employing new styles, sizes and functions to put chandeliers in a whole new light. Expect to see elegant antique and old world style chandeliers in a wide range of style settings from country to rustic to contemporary for an overall look that is sophisticated but far from stuffy.
