Bid your flame-tipped candelabra bulbs adieu—and say hello to their new competition. "Decorative light bulbs have come such a long way," says Sarah Kirk, the director of product development and management at Schoolhouse Electric & Supply Co.. "The range of available shapes, sizes, technologies, glass colors, and finishes make choosing a bulb just as much of a design decision as choosing a fixture finish or shade." It's not just how they look—with the rise of LED, decorative light bulbs can be just as long-lasting and efficient as any other bulb in your home, and fixture options have even evolved to better show them off. Whether you're outfitting a statement chandelier that requires a dozen or more bare bulbs or a minimalist, industrial sconce, you'll want to call on decorative light bulbs that perfectly top off the look of the room. Below, Kirk shares five of her favorite new-wave decorative light bulbs and some tips for showing them off best.
