TIPS FOR BUYING CHANDELIERS

Once you have made up your mind to buy a new chandelier, there are many tips that you need to consider while making a selection. This article would surely help you in purchasing lamps and lighting accessories at the right price.

For people who plan to buy a chandelier for the first time, remember that you need to fix it high in the room so that it actually highlights home furniture, and collectibles even when the room appears dark and in some cases gloomy. For a deep impact, it is recommended that you hang the chandelier in the right location and at a height adequate above the floor. As far as the dining room is concerned, we suggest that you position the chandelier right above the table. Select something matching your style and proportionate to the area covered by the room. Avoid purchasing a chandelier that is not as big as the length of the table. This is because there are chances of the people accidentally bumping to the lighting fixture. Follow a thumb rule that the light fixture should be 12 inches narrower than the table with its edges 48 inches away from the walls. In case your ceiling is 8 feet high above the floor level, fix the chandelier 3 inches lower than it’s original position. 

Next, you need to keep in mind the tips for selecting light bulbs. Avoid buying bulbs which throw light on individuals because this causes discomfort. Bulbs which draw more current can overheat the area and lead to glare and lengthy shadows. Set the perfect mood by adding shades to the bulbs which would surely help to control the light intensity. To create that visual appeal, try setting up the bulbs at an angle enough to enhance the beauty of the centerpieces. 
If it’s an open lobby or a foyer setting that concerns you, then an entryway chandelier can be the most preferred choice. Nothing would surely come in your way as you make a transition from outdoors to the interiors of the house. Consider hanging a chandelier high enough to brighten the side passages much above your knee level so that you don’t stumble upon something weird on the way. You would be surprised if the chandeliers are of a proportionate size and that the room doesn’t appear stacked with light fixtures. Do think about clearance measuring six and a half from the floor while installing the chandelier. But this not where everything ends.

Pendant chandeliers can be set up 30 to 34 inches above the table surface depending on the arrangement and the numbers that you decide on. Adorn the chain by wrapping it with a soft and silky fabric in contrast to the overall color of the chandelier. This decor idea would make every day look like a holiday for your family. Finally, add beautiful ceiling medallions above the table or the fixture’s canopy.
