INTERIOR IDEAS: Selecting the Right Chandelier Based on Your Home Architecture

The attractiveness that the perfect choice of the chandelier can add to your home, business space, or office is inevitable. They can be projected as the most prominent piece in your décor of the area, and as all chandeliers are classy and gorgeous, you can quickly achieve the desired effect.  

According to basic custom, we see chandeliers hung up as an attractive central piece in common areas like dining or lobby where they will catch visitors' attention. This single piece of grand lighting can be used as the central interior décor piece to bring all the required class and elegance to the room. There are both urban and traditional design chandeliers that you can find to suit your space.

When you have to find a suitable chandelier, you will be awestruck by the various options available. With simple elements to consider, it will be easy to make the right choice of the chandelier.

Size:  

Chandeliers are available for purchase in various sizes and it is necessary to have a pre-calculation of the required size based on the space. You can optimally check the diameter of the lighting fixture and try to match it with the size of the room to get an idea about the right size requirement. Imagine a massive chandelier in a small space; the imbalance will prominently stand out The same applies to a small one in a huge area as the chandelier would be left insignificant.  

Sometimes you may have liked a certain chandelier, but it may be small for your space. You can optimally consider more than one piece to match the dimension of the area. You can add two smaller ones to create balance instead of a big single chandelier piece.  

Height:

Some chandeliers may have a reasonable height, and therefore, it is necessary to consider this and correlate it with the height of the room. A tall chandelier in a space with a low ceiling may cause it to reach just near the head, and a small chandelier in a high ceiling space can make it lost in space and make it insignificant. While looking for a chandelier to hang above other elements like a table or a bed, try to keep it at least 30 inches above it. Never choose a chandelier that is bigger than the table.  

The Frames:

Chandeliers come in varied designs and finishes in materials like plastic, steel, glass, ceramic, and even classy ones in wood. The choice is numerous, but instead of picking up any from the pool, narrow down your selection criteria to match your overall interior décor theme. If you have a vibrant and modern décor idea, you can use the various chandeliers that come in bright shades.  

The frame material and make will also determine the durability of the chandelier. Make the choice accordingly so that the surface remains intact for a long time and is not worn out easily.  

Care and Maintenance:

Like any other fixture in the space, chandeliers are also prone to get dirty and dusty, and it requires cleaning them out occasionally to keep them looking good. Some chandeliers are too complex making cleaning a cumbersome task. Chandeliers with small crystal elements require intricate cleaning when compared to bigger crystals. Installing them correctly and making them easily reachable will make it possible to clean them out effectively at the right intervals.
