I absolutely love both of the chandaliers you posted in the second set of chandaliers (the floral ones). I would go for the chrystal lamp for myself, but that is my taste. Both of the lamps are good. I once thought it would be fun choosing decor, paint, furnishings but when we built a new house and I got to decorate and furnish the whole thing choosing paint, floor coverings, furnishings, etc. it soon became a real chore! Thank goodness you have a good bit of time to work on it.

I am glad I started thinking about what I wanted a long time ago. Because if I started right when we moved my room would look cheesy. I started out wanting a safari room and have come down to this. Lol

Love the first lamp. Not a fan of a chandelier in the bedroom though.

I think the idea of a chandelier in a bedroom is kind of cool, providing you do not get too large of one and it looks out of place, otherwise it sounds kind of cool.....I like the very last one, I believe you said it was from Pier One(one of absolute favorite stores)....I also like either of the lamps, both are fairly neutral, so can go in your bedroom even if you end up changing your bedding,wall color,etc........

I did look up how to find the right chandelier for your ceiling height and room dimensions. This seemed to be the right size. I really do love it. I hope I end up getting it. I don't know when we have to buy lighting. Probably not for a couple of months.

IMO

A chandelier goes in a dining room or a hallway.

I'm no decorator, but a small one over a dressing table or in a foyer (looks like shabby chic) might be ok.

For me, I might enjoy having one in a bath or powder room.

I am partial to crystal lamps---I have one in my bedroom in fact. But I think it depends what look you are going for.....If you want a more eclectic look I'd choose the crystal.....or a more tied in traditional look to go with your furniture and paintings then I'd go with the cream carriage house lamp.

JMHO but I think you need a large bedroom for the chandeliers or they will be the focual point and take away from the other elements in the room..........

My bedroom is 13' x 14'7". I did look at the dimensions of the chandelier and how to choose one and this seems to be the right size so it won't overwhelm the room. It's not very tall. I think it is 19 inches high. 24 inches around. We have nine foot ceilings. Who knows I might change my mind by the time we buy lighting. The good thing is that it isn't super expensive. So in a few years if I don't like it I can put up a ceiling fan.
