The perfect chandelier

There are no longer rules about where you can put such an impressive lighting object, (except the garage and the storage facilities), you can hang a chandelier in any room that you desire. The result? An aroma of luxury, sophistication and drama.

In addition, the offer of models and prices vary so much so that this precious object has become a component accessible to anyone. This way you can bring a special charm to your home which, in the past, you could have found only in fairytales.

The first step is to choose carefully a suitable sized chandelier for your room so take into consideration these coordinates: -how high is the room? -how big are objects that will stand in the area under the chandelier? -how large is the room that you want to light up? -what is shape and design do you like?

The biggest mistake that you can do is to choose a chandelier too small compared to the size of your room.

To determine exactly the size that will suit your room, you must think about what items will be placed beneath it. e.g will it be standing over a table? If so its diameter must be 30cm less than the width of the table. Also, it should be positioned at about 1.5 meters over the table. But if you have a very large table, then choose a chandelier that its diameter is half of its width.

Take into account also the appearance of this object in the room. If it is a massive construction, e.g several layers of crystals, from a crystal chandelier, then it will appear to be grander then it is in reality. Also, it is very important to take into consideration the size of the furniture in the room. This must be proportionate to the dimensions of the chandelier as well.

A chandelier that is too small is going to lose its value and will seem insignificant on the remaining elements of the furniture, and one too big will eclipse everything around it, being too much also for the eye.

Regarding the positioning of it, this should be at a distance of about 2 meters and a half on the floor. If this measurement seems much too close, you can put it so it hangs about 3 meters distance between its tip and the floor, but no more than that. As a general rule in choosing the perfect chandelier, you must know that there are some fashion rules even here that you have to take into consideration.

If you want to add a bit of drama to your kitchen, then you can go for a coloured chandelier. A smaller chandelier will give the appearance of a very elegant room, especially if you decide to use some miniature furnishings to light your kitchen. If you want to create an intimate space that would remind you of the dressing rooms that actors use behind the scenes, then add a chandelier in the area in which you hold your cosmetics. Even in bathrooms, designers have come up with a small chandelier to bring a bit of magic elegance and an idea of luxury.

Therefore, if you want a glamorous room go for an impressive chandelier. If you want to add more privacy to a room, you need a small-scale chandelier. They are perfect even if you have a small room.

If you want to go eccentric you can even put two chandeliers in the same room. Today lighting has become a matter of style so fashion has no borders in whatever you like.

Nevertheless, you can’t ignore the fact that chandeliers can be easy to buy if you know where to search. In the right stores, you can find prices that suit your budget. Now, all you have to do decide from the hundreds of models!
