Design tip

Using statement antique lighting, such as an opulent chandelier, is one of interior designer Henriette Von Stockhausen’s favourite ways to add impact to a room. ‘Antique lights are the perfect decorative piece, providing light, while also being beautiful in their own right,’ she says. ‘Try to choose one with several bulbs and if you can see the bulbs, use gathered fabric shades or beautiful candle bulbs, as modern bulbs can ruin the look.’

Bring wow factor to any space with an antique chandelier. For similar examples, try antique lighting specialist O’Keeffe Antiques .
