A chandelier is a great lighting solution for big open spaces for both illumination and dcor needs. A chandelier is often bigger than 12 inches and diameter and consists from a minimum of 4 lights; therefore it can be a great lighting solution for hallways, dining rooms and tables, living rooms, or guest rooms.
The size takes its place
People attend to think that the bigger the merrier. In case of purchasing a chandelier for a medium size space, this thought is mistaken. A chandelier that is too big hanging on top of your dining table can make your guests and family members feel inconvenient due to the direct and intense light reflecting to their eyes and face. In case of a medium or a small size space, a mini chandelier or a chandelette will be the most suitable solution.
Style and dcor
Designing your own house and establishing a certain and a unique lighting scheme can be a very difficult mission to handle. If you want to find the right combination of different lighting fixtures that will be a part of a whole lighting scheme you will have to think through all the details of your different lighting fixtures and their place. The good thing about crystal chandeliers is the unique style that can fit everywhere, no matter what other lighting fixtures you have in the same space. A crystal chandelier is not only a lighting fixture; it is an art item that stands out for itself and not as a part of a complex.
Designing a new home can be a complex situation. If your new house is designed in an old vanity style, a classic crystal chandelier will fit perfectly almost in every big space you will install it. If it is a modern and innovative style you are talking about, a novelty crystal chandelier will be a perfect match for your other design items placed nearby.
Color and light
Another important matter that you should pay attention to when deciding which chandelier to buy is the color of the place to be illuminated. For example, if you want to install a chandelier in a room painted in cream or other bright colors, you should install a dark chandelier that will give an adequate contrast to the plain boring color of this specific space.
Height of hanging
After you found the perfect chandelier for you, it is very important for you hang it in a safe way, and in the right distance from the area to be illuminated. For example, if you want to illuminate a guest room, the right hanging distance is about 35 inches over the main table, in an eight foot ceiling.
