must be the most wonderful lighting fixture ever. At least to this owner of a fixer-upper old house. An earlier property with a high cathedral ceiling would have been the perfect place to install a very subtle, modern chandelier. But not here. This place doesn't have even 8-ft high ceilings -- more like 7 foot.Is it possible that there is a type of fixture that could be a faux chandelier? Something that gives the impression of being grand and beautiful--and maybe even sparkly--while still having a low profile. Yes, those are almost opposites. But think about it. The fixture would hang just a few inches from the ceiling. The "arms" of the fixture could be at graduated levels and very symmetrical. Then the light bulbs themselves would be tiny and sparkly.
That goes on the list of things to find. A retro chandelier
that will actually fit in a room with low ceilings. While the quest could take a long, long time, it would be worth it to find the perfect piece. Perhaps it makes sense to look at Scandanavian lighting or other European hanging lamps.
