Looking for a wood bead chandelier? I’m sharing my favorites including the one I bought for our dining room!
After LOTS of shopping around, I finally have a new dining room chandelier!! I had the hardest time deciding on one and think I’ve seen every wood chandelier in existence so thought I’d not only share the one I ended up with but also my other favorites I found in my search! (post includes affiliate links – full disclosure statement available {here})
Let’s start out with my new beauty – I love, love, love it! It’s the perfect mix of traditional rope and beads with a stylish, nontraditional design. It fits the style of my dining room so well:
Jeff and I hung it with the help of his dad a few weeks back and I’ve been dying to share it but it went out of stock right after I received it. Well… it’s back!! You can find it on Wayfair {here} or on Amazon {here}.
It’s such a great price for a chandelier this size and looks super similar to a Ro Sham Beaux chandelier that costs over $3k. Another similar option I looked at and love is {this beaded chandelier} in a whitewash finish – it’s too tall for my short-ceilinged dining room but might work in yours.
I also snagged {this gingham pitcher} because I’m a sucker for anything that’s buffalo check or gingham when fall rolls around – in addition to the obvious use as a pitcher, it will look beautiful filled with flowers:
Want to see the other wood bead chandeliers I found in my search? There are so many gorgeous options:
1. Wood bead chandelier with tassel & rope | 2. Graduated bead chandelier with short tassel | 3. Whitewashed wood bead chandelier with iron frame | 4. Square tiered wood bead chandelier | 5. Draped wood bead chandelier | 6. Gold veined beaded chandelier | 7. Beaded pendant light | 8. Curvilinear beaded chandelier | 9. Classic beaded chandelier
Which one is your favorite?
XOXO,
Your chandelier choice is so lovely Kris! Such a different look from your original post with all metal pieces. The price is fantastic too! I have an unrelated question that I hope you can help me with. Your daughters bedroom refresh inspired me to give one to my 15 yr old for her birthday and I’d like to add crown molding to the ceiling but her closet bi fold doors go up so high that they would interfere with the molding. How do I. Handle that? Thanks so much!
Hi Mary – thanks for your sweet words! If her closet doors go up so high that they would interfere with the crown molding, I’d choose a smaller molding that doesn’t interfere if that’s possible – different crown moldings have different angles so you could have five 4″ crown moldings but some will come down lower on the wall than others because of how their angled. If you still can’t find one that fits, I would skip it altogether. I’ve seen rooms where they’ve notched the crown molding around door molding and just don’t think that it looks very good unfortunately. Hope that helps!
Love your style and design ideas. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Rosie!
Curious. What are the correct proportions for a chandelier in a dining room? Measure the room, measure the table, . . ?? I’m lost, please help.
Hi Pam–I’m just a follower here like you, but I believe you measure the dining room length and width, then add the two numbers. That is how big the chandelier should be for the room.
Thank you Maggi !
Hi Pam, I recommend that you size your dining room chandelier to your table – this post has the details that your looking for: https://www.drivenbydecor.com/choosing-hanging-lighting-tips-how-high-wide-tall/ Hope it helps!
I have a question…what do you do with things you no longer use in your home? Do you sell, store, or donate? Right now, I am changing dining room chairs, and I am hoping to sell off the old ones. But in my garage I have a desk, set of 4 kitchen chairs, out door patio furniture (we haven’t used in nearly 3 summers), another upholstered chair…basically a storage area for mismatched furniture. I have been hesitant to get rid of everything because I keep thinking there may be a place for it, and yet…I haven’t found places. How long do you hold on to things before knowing it is time to give them up? Thank you!
Hi Annie! I do a combination of donating and reselling (mostly via local Facebook groups). We have VERY little storage space in our house so honestly I don’t keep much of anything for a “possibly some day” use unless it’s small accessories.
