Here are The Lighting Shop top tips for choosing a chandelier.
Ceiling Height – whether you’re chosing a traditional or modern design the height of your ceiling is a major factor when choosing the design. Our eyes automatically lift towards the ceiling when we enter a room so, if you want to give the impression of extra height fit a chandelier that hangs closer to the ceiling. This is especially important in new builds where the ceilings are often quite low.
Size Matters – make sure the size of the chandelier is in proportion to the rest of the room, there’s nothing worse than seeing a small chandelier hanging in a big room, or vice versa. The wrong size light can have a negative impact on the ambience of a room.
Creating drama and intimacy – a great way to give a room that wow factor and create warmth and intimacy is to hang a chandelier quite low over a big table. It can really make an impact when you walk into the room and it creates a sense of warmth and intimacy when people are gathered around the table.
Mix old and new – a traditional crystal chandelier can look fantastic in a very modern setting, for example in a state of the art kitchen, or a very modern light can look great when contrasted with traditional architecture and design.
It’s always best to get advice from experts when choosing lighting. It’s easy to make a mistake on size, height and style.
