The chandelier is one of the key elements of the decor. Properly selected lighting device emphasizes the style of the interior and is able to qualitatively change the perception of the room by a person. Not only the chandelier, but also the lighting itself affects the emotional state, allows you to emphasize certain details of the room.
There are several indicators that you must first of all keep in mind when buying a chandelier. We are talking about its size, type, color, style of performance.
THE SIZE
When choosing a chandelier, you should take into account the dimensions of the room where it will be placed. The lamp should not be too large so as not to create a feeling of congestion in the interior. At the same time, the chandelier should not look too small - disproportionate to the scale of the room.
Parameters taken into account include the height, diameter, and the number of horns or shoulders of the lighting fixture. To choose a chandelier according to the size of the room, it is recommended to adhere to the following formula: width + room length × 10. The result of the calculations is the diameter of the chandelier (in centimeters). For example, the width of the room is 5, and the length is 7 m. The required diameter of the chandelier will be 120 cm (5 + 7 × 10 = 120). 120 cm= 47.2 inches.
THE FORM
When choosing a chandelier, you need to consider its shape. This parameter is influenced by the characteristics of the room. For example, for a room with a high ceiling, it is advisable to choose a pendant type chandelier, as it will visually fill the space and give the room a cozy feel.
But for rooms with low ceilings, pendant lights are not suitable: it is better to buy a flat ceiling model. For long and narrow rooms, elongated lighting fixtures are suitable: firstly, they visually repeat the shape of the room, and secondly, they allow you to organize more efficient lighting.
COLOR
The selection of a suitable color for the device is another essential parameter. The decision is made based on the overall color scheme in the room. For example, for a classic interior with a lot of details, a chandelier is best suited, the colors of which radiate warmth.
VARIETY OF DESIGN
You also need to choose the right type of construction in the appropriate situation. There are ceiling and pendant lights. Above we talked about the relationship between the height of the ceilings and the design of the chandelier. You should also consider the type of room. For example, pendant products are more often used in living rooms, staircase and ceiling products in bathrooms.
