I’ve costly style. It by no means fails that if I’ve a number of gadgets to select from, with all the costs hidden from sight, I’ll nearly all the time select the most costly merchandise. It occurs over and over and over. That’s one purpose I began DIYing a few years (okay…a long time) in the past. I made a decision that if I couldn’t afford the issues I wished, perhaps I might make them for a fraction of the value.
And that’s the place I’ve discovered myself in my seek for the proper chandelier to go above the island in my future walk-in closet. I do know y’all are in all probability going to get sick of this closet (in case you haven’t already) earlier than I even get began on it. However I’ve by no means had an honest walk-in closet earlier than, and I’d be embarrassed to inform you how a lot time of every day I spend dreaming about and planning this closet. However as anxious and excited as I’m to make this closet a actuality, I gained’t begin on it till I’ve all the particulars labored out, particularly with reference to how the cupboards and drawers might be organized. I’m nearly have it, however I’m not fairly there but.
Whereas I’m nonetheless understanding these particulars, these enjoyable, ornamental touches, like mirrors, wallpaper, and lights, are enjoyable to consider as nicely. I’ve already proven you the modified ground plan, however simply in case you missed it, this would be the format of the closet/laundry space.
And a few days in the past, I confirmed you my closing wallpaper choice, in addition to the mirror I purchased to go on the part that might be wallpapered. In case you take a look at the ground plan above, the wallpaper and mirror will go within the center part on the correct aspect of the closet space, the place I’ll have drawers as much as about 34 inches, a countertop on high, after which an open space with the wallpaper and mirror. You’ll be able to see extra particulars of this wallpaper on this publish, however right here’s a take a look at each.
So with these picks made, I wished to buy a extremely fairly chandelier or pendant mild to go above the middle island. I actually had no thought what I wished, so I used to be fairly open-minded about it after I began my search. I began out on the lookout for a easy however fairly chandelier. The primary one I saved to my “walk-in closet chandelier choices” file was this one from Wayfair (affiliate hyperlink).
It’s easy, fairly, transitional in model, and brass. It’s positively my model for a common use form of chandelier. However this closet is generally going to be mine. That is an space the place I can form of have a bit of enjoyable and do one thing not so “common use“, if you already know what I imply. So I began on the lookout for one thing geared a bit of extra in the direction of my very particular style. I wished one thing eye-catching, enjoyable, and perhaps floral-inspired (as a result of, if you already know me in any respect, you already know I’d drench my complete home in flowers, birds, and timber, if left to my very own devises).
So with that objective in thoughts, the primary one I thought-about was this Possini Flower Chandelier (affiliate hyperlink).
This mild has been round for a few years, and I’ve cherished it for the reason that first time I noticed it. However the one factor that has held me again from shopping for it (and I’ve thought-about it for a lot of completely different makes use of over time) is that I’m fairly IKEA used to promote this mild or an identical model of it. And I don’t really need my closet to seem like IKEA. I don’t have something towards IKEA. I simply don’t need it to be an overtly IKEA closet. I do love that mild, although. I’d like to discover a use for it will definitely, however simply not entrance and heart in my walk-in closet.
Sticking with that eye-catching floral theme, I additionally thought-about this beaded chandelier from Wayfair (affiliate hyperlink). It’s not precisely floral, nevertheless it jogs my memory of vines with berries. And it’s sparkly, which I like. And better of all, the value was actually good at slightly below $140. Additionally, the beads are glass and never plastic. There are many photographs uploaded by prospects of their critiques, and it’s so fairly in all of them.
That mild is sort of a Sputnik (which I like) lined in vines and berries (which I like). It’s the perfect of each worlds multi function mild. I got here very near clicking that “Add To Cart” button on that one.
After which the final one I had saved in my “walk-in closet chandelier choices” file was this chandelier from Wayfair.
Three issues held me again from this one. First, I believe the gold is a bit of too gold. Second, I believe it’s too massive for my walk-in closet. The island will solely be 24 inches broad, and this mild is nearly 24 inches broad. I believe it is perhaps a bit a lot for that area. I need one thing eye-catching and distinctive however not overpowering. I believe this one can be higher suited above a eating desk. And third, I HATE that form of ceiling cover. It’s only a private desire, however I can’t stand the way in which these canopies look.
After which it occurred. I discovered THE PERFECT mild that not solely fits my style, however goes so nicely with the mirror and the wallpaper and the entire imaginative and prescient I’ve for that room. It’s good in each means…apart from the value. This mild from Wayfair is $2300 (affiliate hyperlink). I imply…in fact it’s. As a result of why wouldn’t probably the most good chandelier ever created to go well with my style be ridiculously out of my value vary?
However as soon as I laid eyes on probably the most good chandelier for my walk-in closet, nothing else would do. I’ve searched. I actually did attempt to discover one thing else that appears comparable in my value vary. Nothing of the type exists. However now that I’ve seen this one, I do know I gained’t be happy with the rest.
So, does that imply I’ll be spending $2300 on a chandelier? In fact not. 😀 I believe y’all know me higher than that, and I believe y’all know what this implies. There’s a DIY chandelier for my walk-in closet in my future. That is the imaginative and prescient. That is the objective. Now I simply have to determine learn how to get that look on a funds. I’m already devising a plan, and I gained’t cease till I’ve one thing comparable that matches my funds.
However I believe I could make a flower chandelier in a lot much less time. And I believe it’ll be the proper addition to this imaginative and prescient I’ve for this room.
Replace: I ought to be aware that this gained’t be the one mild within the room. I’ll even be including loads of recessed lights and/or lighting on the cupboards.
