Chandeliers and wall light sconces, and other home lighting fixtures have been popular in commercial, religious and home settings dating back as far as medieval times when they were used to illuminate churches and abbeys. But what started as simple wooden crosses and wheels with a number of attached candles eventually evolved into several variations of home lighting products in more modern times.
- Crystal - most popular and iconic of all chandelier types; considered a romantic choice
- Metal - uses brass, wrought iron, etc.; characterized by curved "arms" and shades or glass cups on lights
- Mission chandeliers - central mount with angled "arms" with boxy lampshades; also used for sconces
- Murano glass - Italian style lights made of blown glass that incorporates curvy lines and bright colors
- Beaded - makes use of beads in place of the traditional crystal pieces
- Shell - basically the same as beaded; popular material choice is the mother-of-pearl appearance of capiz
