Stylish Chandeliers

Planning any interior is impossible without taking into account such details as the chandelier. Lighting in the room, be it daylight from the windows or additional lamps on the floor, walls or tables - this is one of the main elements of a spectacular interior. And, of course, the chandelier, which at night plays the role of "sun" for the whole room as a whole and is its main final decoration.

Designers approach the choice of this element of decor with special attention. The transformation of the whole space depends on how the central illuminator spreads the light and how it looks. Moreover, an incorrectly picked up chandelier, not fitting in with the style of the room, can destroy the harmony of the interior or get completely lost in it.

To make the chandelier look stylish and not look like a ridiculous spot in your living room or bedroom,let's try to deal with the main criteria for the selection of ceiling lighting:

First of all, you should decide on the size and type of the chandelier. This criterion completely depends on the height of the ceiling and the squaring of the total space of the room. Bulky pendant chandeliers will look gorgeous only in a spacious hall with high ceilings, so no matter how much you want to buy a baroque chandelier in the small living room of a small apartment, this would be a bad idea and not only underline the style, but it would clutter the space.

In appearance chandeliers can be divided into ceiling and suspended. Ceiling chandeliers are very popular, suitable for almost all modern styles, room sizes and quite simple to maintain. This chandelier is mounted directly to the ceiling, it can have several lampshades with adjustable light direction.

The main artificial lighting of your room depends on the choice of the type of lamps and the transmittance of the lampshade or the lampshades. In this regard, the chandelier plays a pivotal role, more important than other additional sources of illumination. Therefore, choosing a product, evaluate whether it meets your need for lighting and whether it will fully perform its functions.

This depends not only on the power of the lamps, but also on the number of lampshades and on their ability to transmit light. For example, a pendant lamp with a dark shade, despite its size, can dim and diffuse light. Choosing a chandelier, you should look at the options with several shades with the ability to adjust the level of illumination.

The design of the chandelier should match the interior of the room, harmoniously fit into the surrounding space, successfully illuminate and complement the style of the interior. The color and material of the chandelier is no less important, they give completeness to the whole situation, emphasize the choice of one or another stylistic direction. Modern production of decorations for lighting fixtures differs in a variety of materials. Products can be made of metal, plastic, glass and wood, may contain various combinations of elements. The main thing is to find the right chandelier for your style.
