Chandeliers and wall lamps: stylish sets in the interior

Anyone seeking to make the interior more attractive. Colors and materials are carefully selected, geometry and texture, stylistic accent are thought out. But if you do not take care of the lighting design, all the efforts for the interior design will be in vain.

When choosing a lighting device, consider where it will be placed, what role it will play in the design. In addition to receiving the luminous flux, you can divide the space of the room into zones, attract attention to this or that object. In the bedrooms, an ideal point for installing sconces is the wall above the head of the bed (sofa), above the chairs; the bathroom only wins when the lamp is placed next to the mirror.

Before visiting the store or before opening a remote catalog, you should clearly define:

• what is the current style (or what it will be after the repair);
• will the combination of wall and ceiling light be the only one, or will you and other sources use it;
• whether it is necessary to illuminate everything, or to direct the light in a given direction, or simply to focus on the style;
• whether there is a high humidity, dustiness, whether there can be differences in air temperature.

Wall-mounted lighting devices are presented in a wide range, but there is no chaos in it, the gradation is very simple and is determined by the method of fastening.

Comfortable and not too much striking are tightly pressed to the walls of the ceiling, held by tripods, slats or hidden mount. The advantage of this solution is easy cleaning and suitability in a diverse stylistic environment.

In another embodiment, the lamp shade is attached to the bracket, and due to this it is possible both to fill the room with a soft diffused light and to arrange it visually. In addition, such a choice frees one from the need to painfully speculate which lamp to use in a certain interior.

The most suitable option for the hallway - a transparent cover and the most bright lamps.When the luminous flux goes up, the room becomes visually taller, in the opposite direction it brings a sense of romance and comfort.

Chandeliers and sconces for sleeping areas are preferred with dim, slightly diffused light - they allow you to calm down and not disturb, it is easier to tune in to rest and just have positive thoughts. Those who can not imagine life without evening reading or gadgets, it is more appropriate to choose lamps with variable power - to find them in any collection will not be a problem.

Designers get a powerful tool to transform the surrounding space. By choosing the size and configuration of the luminaires, they will be able to focus on the bedside zone, it is advantageous to beat a certain object (an ancient mirror, a picture, a wardrobe).

Lighting in the style of "Rococo" or "Baroque" will be used mainly in classical styles, add luxury and glamor to the interior. A pair of lamps are often supplied with the chandelier, and such a solution is welcome - it reliably eliminates the need to look for a ceiling light source that would suit you.

It is very useful to combine top and side light. Chandeliers allow you to provide normal general lighting, and complementary to it bras make it possible:

• highlight the selected area as intensely as possible;
• reduce visual fatigue when writing, sewing, other small and painstaking work;
• make the light background soft and comfortable for perception;
• do not take too much extra space.

If you choose a combination of sconces plus a chandelier, you should make a separate connection for them, so that at any time you don’t waste electricity. Wall mounted ceiling lights can have the most bizarre and frilly geometric shape, not only round, but also:

• oval;
• triangular;
• with five corners;
• "Like a comma."

Wall lights can be made of metal, ceramics, plastics and even glass; A very good option is now considered the use of LEDs. Such light sources are popular due to the impossibility of moisture damage, high brightness with relative efficiency, the ability to direct the light flux in the desired direction.

In most cases, sconces play a supporting role in relation to other light sources. But in a small room, for example, in the living room, or in the bathroom, the value of the wall lamp increases. Thanks to a wide range of options for its design, no interior features will not become an obstacle.

Round lighting fixtures based on mosaic glass only emphasize the oriental flavor. Suppose you prefer the composition in the style of high-tech: then come to the rescue of small steel lamps, giving a rich white light.

In the halls, you can install wall lamps at a level of two meters to from there to turn on the light immediately throughout the space. There are other secrets of the art of design:

• the luminous flux increases, and everything around becomes more festive and luxurious when the wall lamp is installed almost at the junction of the wall and ceiling;
• bringing it to the floor, they bring some mystery, romanticism, because the lighting becomes muffled and low-key;
• visible expansion of the narrow corridor space is achievable by several lamps arranged along the line.

With all the importance of wall light sources in the interior, the fundamental importance remains for the chandeliers, which make the greatest contribution to the lighting, allow you to set the desired mood.

Products on a chain are ideally compatible with high ceilings, and hanging on a hook or on a bar are appropriate in houses of small height.

The calculation of power depends on the size of the bedrooms, living rooms, corridors and hallways.

Indicative figures are:

• for miniature spaces 100 watts;
• medium-sized kitchens require an additional 20-50 watts (depending on natural light and customer needs);
• in halls, living rooms and so on, 150 watts will be only the minimum value.

Do not use more powerful ceiling lights; this not only requires extra expenses, but also threatens to damage the ceiling itself, even fire. Remember: what is the base, these should be and light bulbs, you can not use those options that the designers have not provided.

Other things being equal, a chandelier having a remote control is more convenient and practical than the one that is connected only to a switch.

Returning to the power, it is worth mentioning that its optimal indicator depends not only on the area of ​​the room being lit; dark surfaces reflect less light, and it is necessary to introduce it additionally in order to overcome this barrier. As for the tonality of the chandeliers themselves, warm colors are considered classics, although the final answer depends on the overall color of the interior.

It is possible to reduce the light load, if you make a choice in favor of matte or color shades; in any case, make sure that the light will fall on the whole room, and not gather in the center. Compatibility with table and wall lamps increases in chandeliers, the shades of which are made of paper.

In the bedroom it is undesirable to hang multi-lamp ceiling lights; for kitchens, paper shades are much worse than metal ones - they get clogged too quickly. Orange chandelier can look beautiful: but it is undesirable to forget about the strength of the structure.

Crystal and porcelain are also not bad, but note that their use is quite expensive. But in the living rooms at least they should be installed completely, since a feeling of solidity and solidity is immediately added. The lamp shade must fit in size both to the chandelier itself and to the room in which it is installed.

By following these recommendations, you can easily select the optimal combination of wall and ceiling lights.
