• Despite the spectacular shape, cheap products do not look luxurious, have a small service life, in most cases quickly fail and are not repairable;
• Virtually every product needs repair over time.

It is worth noting the level of security: sometimes creative copies have sharp corners or a lot of weight.Such products themselves are dangerous and are not suitable for lighting and decorating the living room. Components of the assembly are also important: toxic glue and dyes are often used in the development, emitting harmful substances into the air.

Ceiling lamps for the hall are divided into suspended and near-surface structures. The first ones are volumetric (hanging) and even weighty multi-storey models, the second ones are more laconic and feature flat forms, resembling a flattened tablet with a wide variation of forms.

The suspension system is used where there is more space and provides for complex compositions with fanciful and often pompous outlines. It can have different shades, be decorated with lampshades or spotlights that make up a certain design composition. Ceiling near-surface model more concise and moderate in size.

Spectacular chandeliers for the hall can be on the rod, sold with a floor lamp in the set, be equipped with a control panel, have the ability to adjust the degree of brightness of the lighting and its shade.

By size, the models are divided into the following.

• large;
• average;
• compact.

Bulbs - an important point when buying an unusual chandelier, which requires mandatory attention.

Conventionally, light sources are divided into several groups, among which the sought-after ones are:

• halogen;
• incandescent lamps;
• LED;
• fluorescent.

The times when the lamps did not attach any importance to the past: today even the child knows that some lamps are harmful to the eyes, despite the assurances of sellers in the back. Each type has its advantages and disadvantages, knowing that, you can equip the chandelier with a “correct” light source that does not hit the eyes and does not adversely affect the perception as a whole:

• LEDs recognized as environmentally friendly light bulbs that do not heat up during operation, they do not emit toxins into the air, have minimal energy consumption, supplying an even light without flickering to the room;
• Filament (classic Soviet light bulbs) are budget sources of light,however, no more than 10% of the energy consumed is transformed into light, they become very hot during work, and are brittle;

• "Galogenki" equipped with tungsten filament, have excellent light output, retaining the main percentage of heat inside the lamp, they are durable and more or less resemble natural daylight, although when contaminated they instantly fail;
• Fluorescent Lamps are recognized as harmful and dangerous to health: when the chandelier is turned on, they emit mercury vapor into the air, although these types are considered energy-saving, energy savings mean loss of health, and lamps are capricious for voltage drops and do not like frequent on-off lights.

Often the lamps have the ability to adjust the shade of light from dark yellow to deep blue.

The colors of the spectacular chandeliers for the hall are multifaceted. Designers rarely limit themselves to choosing shades.The only thing you should pay attention to is the rule: the chosen color should be soft, muffled and conforming to the style of the interior.

It is necessary to adhere to the obligatory condition of soft color composition and design. Design implies an emphasis on the material itself, the form or the finishing elements. It can be office (laconic) or creative, glamorous or deliberately rude - it all depends on the general idea of ​​interior design.

The effect of color on the mood and state of a person is generally confirmed by scientific research. The color really matters: in addition to the degree of dispersion of the light flux through the cover (glass, etc.), it can change the temperature of the room and the mood of everyone in it. Before you stop the choice on a particular model, it is worth taking note several nuances that will avoid the negative associated with incorrect color rendition:

• Too yellow tint causes lethargy and boredom;
• Natural warm (moderately yellow) is the golden mean that does not have a negative impact;
• Neutral white is aimed at creating a working atmosphere, but quickly tires the eyes;
• Red tone of a light stream provokes irritability and promotes increase in pressure;

• The blue glow is unnatural and helps reduce pressure, but requires getting used to the eyes;
• Blue or violet tint with prolonged luminescence causes depression, depressing;
• The green background of the light flux is relaxing, but it cannot be called useful for daily use.

The raw materials from which make spectacular chandeliers for the living room, is the most diverse.

Among other material there are several: metal, wood, plastic, glass, textiles, paper.

• The key types of material from the list are metal (in bronze) and wood, and metal lamps are quite massive, even if they are based on lightweight alloys. Such chandeliers have a rather bulky appearance, which gives the impression of gravity, which is bad for the overall picture of the design.
• Wood analogues are more understandable to the eye, they look natural and almost always blend into the style as harmoniously as possible. Among the models you can find a lot of beautiful and even elegant lighting structures with a spectacular appearance.

• PlasticAlthough it is able to beat many design ideas, it is a harmful component of chandeliers. When heated, it is able to emit harmful substances into the air, which in the future may adversely affect health. In some chandeliers, and used plastic, but it also can not be called a good component: it is not less dangerous than plastic.
• Textile - the favorite material of designers, allowing to give the chandelier the desired effect. This solution is usually applied in certain styles, and can be carried out in two ways: in production or in a creative workshop.
• Paper as the finish is completely impractical, regardless of its thickness (mainly used cardboard), moreover, during the operation of the lamps, it gradually burns, which is accompanied by a faint smell of burning.

The style of spectacular chandeliers allows you to enter the lamps in a different design of the living room.The range of areas is wide and includes a lot of possibilities.

The most sought-after design ideas are as follows.

• Classic style;
• English;
• Oriental;
• Arab;
• Rococo;

• Baroque;
• African;
• Minimalism;
• Art Deco;
• Vintage;

• Avant-garde;
• Venetian;
• Egyptian.

With a skillful approach to design, the list can be extended: it is often possible to combine seemingly different interior objects, and the chandelier in this case often sets the basis for the style.

Modern classics and minimalism are accompanied by laconic forms and expressive lines. Abstraction and avant-garde rely on creativity and deliberate coarseness, vintage conveys the mood of the past, oriental style is filled with the spirit of Asia, welcoming the light forms and purity of the shades of the lampshades.

The English direction gives out elements of pompousness and special underlining of the high cost of the lamp, the baroque literally “breathes” with luxury, which it demonstrates in decorating a lighting fixture, supporting the decor with a multitude of lace and ornate lines.

The choice of a spectacular chandelier model for the hall should be thorough: this will allow you to accentuate the room most harmoniously and purchase a quality product. When buying a little rely solely on external indicators and advertising of the seller.

It is necessary to build on several factors:

• Size does matter: one chandelier can be of large dimensions, the choice of two accessories of the ceiling zone is preferable in more modest dimensions;
• Not every model is easy to pick up a light bulb. Some light sources are expensive, their replacement is not always possible (the store does not always have light bulbs that fit the chandelier perfectly);
• The material must be durable, resistant to cleaning and wiping with a damp cloth;
• The color of the spectacular chandelier in the living room is preferable to choose in bright colors without unnecessary variegation: the atmosphere should be conducive to relaxation and positive.

• For a small living room it is better to purchase a compact model, placing it in the center of the room;

• Those who are not afraid to combine the incompatible can decorate the ceiling with an original origami chandelier, but you need to be careful with the choice of color: without additional support, the lamp can look apart;
• The living room in beige colors can be decorated with a hanging chandelier in the shape of a flower of eight petals. Due to the subtle hint of the flower motif and the successful choice of the tone of the lamp finish, the chandelier will be an unobtrusive decoration of the design that attracts attention;

• The laconic model can be placed in the center of the living room of a rectangular shape, supporting it with spotlights around the perimeter of the room and an additional decorative frame;

• The living room, combined with the kitchen, can be decorated with two identical lamps with a creative look with glass plates instead of lampshades.Chandeliers should be installed on the ceiling above the guest area, maintaining symmetry;
• The chandelier model in the form of a large ring with imitation of crystal elements will help to create a special atmosphere. This design will surprise everyone;
