Glamorous Chandelier and High Gloss Ceiling
It is week four of the One Room Challenge, and I things are shaping up beautifully. This week was all about form AND function with a 8 light glamorous chandelier and oh-so-glossy ceiling.
Note: The glamorous chandelier was sponsored, but the opinions are 100% my own.
What is the ORC?
Thanks to Linda for organizing this great event. When you are done here, make sure to check out the 20 Featured Designers and other Guest Participants (like me). In addition to the fun support and camaraderie that this event evokes, Better Homes and Gardens will be the media sponsor.
Before Glamorous Chandelier and High Gloss Ceilings
Flashing back to that oh so blank slate…
Check out the changes!
See that progress? It has been a busy month! Now let me take you closer to check out this sexy and glamorous chandelier called the Matrix from Varaluz.
Glamorous Chandelier
In the initial phases of this project my client had one important request…A sleek chandelier…Preferably with modern crystals. My immediate answer was, “I know the perfect one!”
It took all of three seconds for her to agree 100%. So this Matrix chandelier, my friends, was the very first decision in the space! DONE!
About the Matrix Chandelier
Varaluz describes this chandelier as a mash up of “70’s glam with a dash of rock-and-roll”. That sums it up pretty well, don’t you think?
Constructed with hand forged recycled steel, and 70’s inspired clear glass rods, the effect is almost fringe-like.
While it is hard to capture in an image, the reflection onto the high gloss ceilings is stunning. With eight 60 W bulbs it produces glorious light in this otherwise moody room.
The design of the Matrix Chandelier if pure genius. Not only can the height of the aged gold finished section be adjusted through the standard use of chains and another set of 15 in stems, the crystals themselves can be adjusted though a rubber band positioned at the top of each crystal. Long story short, you can custom size the length and design of the crystals.
One important element of this design is the 48.25 in width. It will look stunning from the entryway, which is the angle that most people will view this room. It will be a little narrow in the view from the kitchen, but that is a much lower traffic zone.

Thank you so very much for joining me on the Jeweled Interiors Fall 2020 dining room One Room Challenge. If you like what you see here don’t forget come back and poke around a bit after the link-up. Oh, and following me is fun too. Check back each Thursday as I transform this space into a colorful, soulful, and glamorous abode.
You’ve outdone yourself with this design! This is nothing like the 70’s which I lived through!! The chandelier is so stunning. The buffet that goes the entire length (width?) of the room will be such great storage for your client’s many dishes and stemware she will use for future gatherings in this space. The table will be perfect in here. Love it all.
Thanks so much Gwen! You are so kind and I appreciate it. She is so excited!
That chandelier is so good it gives me chills!
Aw Thanks Miranda!
Wow!! That chandelier is absolutely beautiful!
Jewel!! that chandelier is incredible and you always manage to make super glam elements so very chic! love that you have wrapped the entire room with the same color and that glossy ceiling ….. I DIED!! can’t wait to see the custom table coming up next!!
Definitely 70’s glam rock and roll – and I loooove it! Can’t wait to see the final reveal in a couple weeks!
Fabulous!!!!
Thanks so much Megan!
Thanks so much Bridget!
Absolutely stunning Jewel!! I think the chandelier also has a bit of a Brutalist/Art Deco feel. Love the furnishings and link walls too. So exciting to see another one of your ORC’s!
That high gloss ceiling looks great! I’ll have to remember that – excited to see this space come together 🙂
Thanks so much Nicole!
Hi Deborah! I can see why you say that. It casts the prettiest light on the floor and ceiling too.
Thanks Tim. Your bedroom is going to be perfection!
Thanks Heather! I couldn’t agree more!
HI! This room is spectacular! Where did you get the rug? Ive seen it in a couple of your other spaces and it’s perfect in so many ways!
Hi Karen, Good news! It’s from Target. Bad news, it isn’t great. I’m upgrading to a similar one from FLOR and hope it easier to keep clean.
