At their best, chandeliers are like a glittering pieces of jewelry that add a touch of sophistication and beauty to any space.  One room that will always benefit from a chandelier is the dining room.  Whether you decorate with a chandelier as a piece of eye candy or for use as a light fixture, there are plenty of gorgeous options for you to choose from.

You can go with a more dramatic piece in a bright red or sunny yellow for a pop of color in a neutral area, or you can go for a totally luxe look with beaded or capiz shell pieces.  Just take a look at this round-up of gorgeous dining rooms decorated with chandeliers for inspiration.

In this airy, white dining room, hangs a classic chandelier -- bright, sculptural and luminous.  This vintage chandelier by Venini fits right in with the other artful pieces in this dining room!

Perhaps one of the more interesting aspects of this beaded gold chandelier is how it's hung.  Love the simplicity of this lamp and how the gold chandelier accents the gold framed painting in the background!

This beaded turquoise lamp, by Marjorie Skouras, beautifully accents the deeper shades of blue, chocolate and brown.  Really love how that bowl of green apples matches the green in the lamp.

Talk about a dramatic and sophisticated piece.  This space plays with size and proportion, pairing a gigantic chandelier with a tiny accent lamp.  Not so much a lighting fixture as it is a hanging sculpture, don't you think?

In this renovated apartment of Parisian actor, Simone Bedix, the designer paired two silver lamps by Tom Dixon with a lovely antique wrought-iron chandelier...and guess what? It was a flea market find!  It's really a clever pairing that combines trendy silver earrings and an antique necklace.

A plant chandelier takes the place of any ceiling light in this spacious dining room.  Using a variety of potted ivy plants, this chandelier adds plenty of greenery to the space.  Plus, thanks to the brightness of natural lighting, and the accent lamps in the window, there's plenty of light here already!

This cast-iron coral chandelier and matching wall sconce are so chic that adds a touch of sophistication in this grand dining room!

An antique wrought-iron chandelier compliments this sweet dining room so well.  Plus, it's a DIY-ed chandelier that was found at a flea market.  After sand-blasting and a new set of lamp shades, it was made like new!

Even if you have a small or simple dining room, chandeliers can be a perfect way to add some color and oomph to your space.
