The truth is, though, that what we call a chandelier has always been evolving.

The proto-chandelier was a metal, circular holder for oil cups in mosques during the Middle Ages. Crusaders saw these and designed them with candles for their cathedrals. Belgian brass artisans in the 11th century gave them the shape we recognize, and Italian gem cutters added faceted smoky-gray crystals. Finally, a new, clear lead glass made in London gave us the objects we find in the Palace of Versailles. "Making a chandelier took all of Europe to create," says Amy Azzarito, author of "Domestic Bliss: The History of Luxury at Home in 100 Objects," forthcoming in 2017. But the whole point has always been the same: "to maximize light," Azzarito says. (Okay, and maybe to signal luxury, wealth and abundance.) Today, lighting designers and interior designers are also reinventing chandeliers - adding LED lights; using unexpected materials, such as wooden beads or powder-coated metal; and putting them in new places. Baltimore designer Brad Weesner likes to put small chandeliers in closets and turn the closets into cocktail bars.

Maryland designer April Force Pardoe is working with a client who wants a chandelier in her daughter's bedroom. Overall, Pardoe says that although they are more available than ever, chandeliers are "underutilized." It's time to see this fixture anew, take a style risk and add brilliant light and personality to your home. When is a chandelier appropriate in a home? Some modern chandeliers to choose from: - Pardoe says to put every chandelier on a dimmer and get as much wattage as the fixture can hold. In a dining room, especially, you want the ability to control ambiance. -  What's the difference between a chandelier and a pendant? Azzarito says that a chandelier has multiple branches and lights, while a pendant is a single fixture and bulb. Weesner says, "I love to blur the lines between chandelier and pendant and not call it anything but beautiful."The weathered oak would add a touch of rustic craft and history to any space. - Weesner and Pardoe find that the most common mistake with chandeliers is going too small.

If you're putting one over a dining table, Pardoe suggests choosing one that's one-half to two-thirds the width of the table. Pardoe says to add the length of your room (in feet) to its width and use that number to find an ideal chandelier diameter (in inches). For example, 14 feet plus 20 feet equals 34, so you want a 34-inch-diameter fixture. - Even "a bachelor pad should be able to accommodate a chandelier," says Weesner, owner of Brad Weesner Design. The material (square stock iron) is more rugged, too. - Unconventional materials make old designs new again. It's small enough that it won't overwhelm a bedroom. - What might be considered the first chandelier, the "corona de luz," Azzarito says, was an "iron ring that held candles aloft," inspired by the medieval oil-cup holders that Crusaders saw in modern-day Turkey. "It's amazing to me that we are so fortunate that we live in an age where we literally live like kings," Azzarito says. - "Many people have this idea of a chandelier as a French concoction of crystal," Weesner says.
