Lanterns vs Chandeliers

I love a chandelier, sparkling crystals, glittering lights. Beautiful.
Recently I have developed a crush on another style of lighting, the lantern. The lantern is no longer just for Early American designs. It is being used in traditional, transitional and contemporary designs.
This beautiful orange and grey lantern from Urban Electric is perfect in a contemporary setting.
 
Some of  my new favorites are from Colleen and Company. Their lanterns are bright and colorful with a style that is right on trend.
 The Raj Lantern, love the greens.
 The Audrey Lantern, a picture perfect style.
 The Paloma in a rich blue and a hint of Chinoiserie.
 The Elsie, lattice and leaves for the great Elsie de Wolfe
 The Jasmine, perfect

 Currey & Company also has a great selections of lanterns in an array of amazing styles. First is the Carousel lantern in a vibrant red.
