Interesting chandeliers for the corridor

Paraphrasing a well-known phrase, we can safely say that the apartment begins with a hallway. In fact, the main role is assigned to the corridor, as this is the beginning of the house. That it is an intermediate link, allowing you to separate the warm, homely atmosphere from the bustle of the city. Therefore, the main priority of comfortable conditions is the creation of a harmonious lighted space, contributing to a smooth transition from external social activity to home rest. An important part of the design of the hallway space remains competent lighting.

As a rule, the hallway by mistake pay little attention. The damage of a small corridor area is that there is no access to natural light.There are no window openings in the corridor, and daylight penetrates slightly from adjoining adjacent rooms, which is why there is always light twilight. Thus, the basic task remains the correct location of lighting devices, which will solve the problem of insufficient lighting in this area of ​​the apartment.

When planning the location of lighting in the corridor, it is important to consider the following criteria:

• Room size: height and shape;
• The style of the room.

Given this, you can emphasize the advantages, and disguise the disadvantages of a small area of ​​space.

A mistake is the fact that improperly located ceiling lights allow you to visually lose a fractional space of the planned territory.

Choosing lighting in the hallway, pay attention to the following factors:

• Lamp power. Consider also the lighting in the adjoining rooms to the corridor so that your eyes do not suffer from strong light changes.
• Lamps with dim light should be immediately excluded.

Low illumination affects the following points:

• in a poorly lit room it is difficult to find any thing;
• It is difficult to look in the mirror and apply makeup;
• dark corridor has a depressing effect on the psyche;
• subdued lighting creates a sense of inhospability at home.

The best solution for the hallway is the choice of a lighting device with diffused lighting. The range of such chandeliers is widely represented in the market for goods. Ceiling lamps and sconces are equipped with matte shades. It is better to locate them as close to the ceiling as possible, another option is to fix the ceiling upwards.

Correctly chosen lamp for the corridor will look elegant and unique. Modern manufacturers offer a huge selection of different types of chandeliers, lampshades and sconces. Chandeliers and sconces, presented by the designers for the hallways, are made in such a style that they are no longer suitable for other rooms.

According to the type of attachment, pendant lamps are attached to the ceiling on a special hook with the help of certain strings or on a chain. The place of attachment is masked by a decorative bowl. The length of the chandelier can be adjusted depending on the taste of the owners and based on the stylistic decisions of the interior of a specific hall area.

Such chandeliers are made in different styles and directions. You can find long chandeliers made of crystal, metal, ceramics, wood, glass and even paper.For smaller rooms, hanging lamps are better to choose with one canopy. Such a design will not look cumbersome, but on the contrary, will emphasize the beauty and elegance of the chosen style.

Another variety - with mounting at the base of the ceiling. Because of its compactness, this kind of chandeliers is a great solution for a small corridor. Fastening is carried out when mounting the chandelier strip to the ceiling. This type of chandelier is designed for a room with a low ceiling.

Ceiling chandeliers can be found, both single-segment and multi-segment, or presented a one-piece light design. Ceiling lamps are made of glass or plastic. The more transparent the ceiling, the greater the bandwidth of the chandelier.

Along with the ceiling chandeliers in the hallway, wall lamps are increasingly being installed, otherwise they are also called wall sconces. If there is a need to highlight a specific area, for example, a mirror, then it is better to choose a wall sconce with complete ceiling lighting.

The design of the chandeliers in the hallway must be carefully selected, focusing on the theme of a given space.

• For the corridor, made in a classic style, fit elegantly shaped chandeliers, with elements of expensive glass or crystal pendants.

• For rectangular corridor shapes, the same rectangular lighting design will do.

• For an ordinary apartment with a low ceiling, a modern ceiling design would be appropriate.Exclude suspended models, they will visually reduce the already low ceiling.
• If the hall has a large area, then you can combine several lighting fixtures at once. In addition to the chandelier, located in the center of the room, there are also additional recessed lights. The number of lighting devices depends solely on the area of ​​the territory, but they should not be less than 6 pieces.
• Additional side lamps on the wall will not harm the interior, but on the contrary, they will place the necessary accents, making the hall more comfortable.

Also, with the help of a lampshade and lampshades you can change the color of the lighting room.

The advantages of the basic shades of lighting chandeliers:

• White light. It is represented by fluorescent lamps. Such light is able to raise the performance, but gradually you can notice the fatigue from the sharpness of the light.
