Teardrop Chandeliers

Why We Love Teardrop Chandeliers

Whether the name is referring to the shape of the light or the composition of the fixture, teardrop chandeliers are nothing if not elegant. Modern teardrop chandeliers feature a cascade of lights, artfully dropping down a center focal point. They can be ornate and elegant, plain and simple, or anywhere in between. If you’re looking for impressive and chic home lighting, look no further. They offer versatile decor styles, with some pieces feeling fresh and natural while others look structured and polished. However, what each and every one of these pieces have in common are an impressive structural presence and a unique shape.

Where Modern Teardrop Chandeliers Work Best

Teardrop chandeliers work best where they have space to really shine. And, because these gorgeous often feature a cascading silhouette, it’s just as important to have adequate vertical space as horizontal space. For this reason, we think that teardrop chandeliers work best in rooms with high ceilings. More specifically, think dining rooms, larger foyers, and great rooms. These rooms are often used as gathering spaces, so you’ll absolutely want a light fixture that adds interesting visual appeal to the room. You’ll find both formal and informal pieces throughout this collection, so cage chandeliers can really work in any room.

Favorite Teardrop Chandelier Colors & Finishes

Teardrop chandeliers either feature cascading lights or crystals to honor their namesake. You’ll find plenty of exceptionally exquisite pieces in this collection ranging from super simple and sleek lights all the way to crystal teardrop chandeliers adorned completely in crystalline accents. Antique teardrop chandeliers are stunning and ornate but don’t fit in well in every home. For a rustic home, look for a wooden halo with rough, metallic accents to add a pastoral presence to the piece. Alternatively, modern teardrop chandeliers feature minimal accents but make up for it with refined silhouettes and rich finishes. You’ll also find the occasional boho chandelier fixture, adorned with colorful wooden beads. Implement these pieces in your home to create a truly one-of-a-kind lighting scheme.

How to Choose the Best Teardrop Chandelier

When it comes to finding the perfect teardrop chandelier for your home, the most important thing to keep in mind is the size of the fixture. There are both large and mini options, so make sure that you measure your space to find out which size works best for you. When you’re purchasing such an elegant piece, like a chandelier, you want it to make a significant visual impact. However, this can be hindered if the light is too small or too large for the space it’s in. Too small and it will be lost in your other decor and it won’t provide adequate lighting. On the other hand, if it’s too large, it will look bulky and cumbersome in the tight space. So measure your room and have an idea of size in mind before you start looking.

Other Considerations

Modern teardrop chandeliers leave no stone unturned in their quest to represent many different styles. But they may just not be the right choice for you and your home. Art Deco chandeliers offer cool geometric compositions, warm finishes, and unique details that stand out in stark contrast to teardrop fixtures. Alabaster chandeliers and Capiz chandeliers differ from teardrop pieces, by their embrace of natural elements. These fixtures are slightly reminiscent of stone and seashells, which makes them perfect for coastal homes.
