Okay, maybe “makeover” isn’t the right word here, but honestly, it feels like it is. All we did was swap out our living room chandelier, but the entire room feels different now.

If you follow me on Instagram, you may know that I’m currently (and slowly) redecorating our home from trendy boho to modern traditional (here’s a little video to show you what I’m talking about).

Our previous light was a draped, beaded chandelier that we got from Wayfair; at under $200, it’s a total steal and I actually still love it. With all the modern traditional decor changes we’ve recently made, it was just feeling a little too feminine for the space.

I’ve had my eye on Wayfair’s Oatman 4 - Light Shaded Classic / Traditional Chandelier for months (Canadian link here), so I knew it was time to take the plunge.

I had a shortlist of transitional chandeliers I was considering (see below), but I ended up choosing the Oatman because the overall aesthetic was exactly what I was going for.

OTHER TRANSITIONAL CHANDELIERS I CONSIDERED

Why I love this chandelier:

  • The shades ensure a beautiful, soft light

  • The transitional (also known as modern traditional) style

  • It really makes a statement

This is my dream light fixture! This Transitional Chandelier would fit perfectly in both modern and traditional homes with its black and white design. Fabric shades offer soft light in our living room and our space honestly feels like it got a makeo…
Love the look of a black chandelier with shades? The Wayfair Oatman chandelier (which is actually the Troy Lighting Marcel chandelier ) and it goes perfectly in our modern traditional (also known as transitional) living room and dining room. If you’…

The hardest part of mounting this light was getting the shades to sit perfectly straight on the bulbs and on the fixture. It took a bit of tweaking (and a lot of patience from my husband as I told him “a little more to the left”), but it was totally worth it.

I am thrilled with the final look of our living room; I really feel like the chandelier brings the entire space together; the room feels so much more cohesive, and all because of a single light! Sometimes small changes can make a big difference.

P.S. You may be wondering about my oversized mat photo frames - would you believe they are an IKEA hack?! I have all the details here.

Always dreamed of having a modern traditional living room? Or maybe a modern traditional dining room? We just installed this transitional chandelier above our dining room table and I have to say, I’m in love. It’s affordable, is a chandelier with sh…
