Your chandelier is the one decoration your guests look up at all evening — literally. While the tree gets the glory and the mantel gets the garland, the overhead fixture quietly sets the mood of the whole room. In 2026 and heading into 2027, designers are treating chandeliers as the “fifth wall” of holiday decorating: […]
