The color black is usually not associated with anything good. Most times, black means moody, gloomy and faintly sinister. The problem is that all these feelings are not natural, but are creations of movies and novels. What most people do not realize is that although black and dark are associated with negative feelings dark is also romantic. No one ever writes about a brightly lit romantic dinner, and most people only think of stars if they want to say anything romantic, never the sun.
All this may be deviating from the topic, but it is just to show how even black has its uses. What black tends to do is to provide contrast, and depending on the way it is used it can either draw the eyes to or away from something. For example if you have two contrasting colors that will clash like, for example, the color of the wall and your window curtains, giving the curtains a black border would somehow make the whole thing better. In the same way if you want to paint your ceiling some other color other than white putting in a black border will give it a sharper look because it will tend to frame the ceiling.
It is in the same way that black chandelier lighting is used. Black chandeliers are not very common because people think that black and light are oxymoronic. If you want to put up a chandelier why would you want to put up a black one is what most people tend to think. Although what people say is accurate to a certain extent and black does tend to dim down the effect a little, it is much better to go with a black chandelier in certain places than in others. For example, if you want to put up a chandelier above your dining table or your bar, a black chandelier is probably better than any other kind of lighting. For the bar you could go with either a three arm or a five arm one depending on the size that would be most appropriate for you. You could also get the ones that come with black shades on top of the lights because it will give you exactly the effect that you are looking for in a bar.
Above the dining room you could once again go with a black chandelier of the appropriate size but this perhaps go for one without any shades and with smaller lights. This will give you a semi bright, semi dim atmosphere that is just right for your dining room. You could even go with a small one for your bathroom if you want to.
Not all black chandeliers are the jet black, midnight shade of black that you will imagine when you say black. There are different shades of the same black, especially the black crystal chandeliers that are appropriate for most settings and are even used in living rooms and big halls. They have a very subdued yet classy look, which even the normal crystal chandeliers will not give you.
