14 Modern Starburst & Sputnik Chandeliers

Caitlin Murray

The starburst chandelier is a great addition to any home. Also known as the sputnik chandelier, it works best in large rooms like a dining room or a living room as it commands the attention of the eye.

Typically, starburst chandeliers are made of a finished metal center from which stems lightbulbs at the end of rods. The effect is amplified with additional rods that may have metal bubbles at the ends. Starburst chandeliers come in a variety of finishes from gold to brass to black. The lightbulbs are generally bare though some are surrounded by glass spheres.

The more intricate the design the higher you’ll pay, but I’ve managed to find fourteen gorgeous and relatively affordable starburst chandeliers to help you out!
