Just as every little black dress needs drop dead earrings and a killer pair of shoes to polish the look, so does a room need those special accessories to bring the sparkle and swank.  For me, nothing quite does the trick like decadent lighting, especially a chandelier.  It is truly  the “jewelry” in the room.
