Lighting is one of the most important components in the design of any room. Therefore, the choice of a chandelier is an important and requiring serious approach. Those owners of apartments who buy a chandelier at the very last stage of finishing work are completely wrong, allocating a very small amount for it. On how correctly this lighting device will be selected directly depends on both the appearance of the room and the comfort of living in it.
The first thing to pay attention to when buying is the type of light bulbs that are used in the chandelier. Incandescent lamps, as giving even, pleasant to the eye, light can be used in absolutely any living room, whether it be a kitchen or living room. However, since they also heat up very much, you need to make sure that there are no plastic parts in the chandelier itself.
Halogen and fluorescent lamps in apartments are used quite rarely. Although they are quite economical, the light that they give is not distinguished by naturalness and is somewhat cold for a dwelling. Light from LED lamps is much more pleasant for the eyes, but they are quite expensive.
Today, mainly two types of chandeliers are produced – suspended and reciprocal. If you have concrete ceilings, and you want to see in your apartment a classic type of chandelier will best choose a design equipped with a hook for hanging. For a suspended ceiling, an option is more suitable with a special bracket. If you want to purchase a high -quality suspension product, we advise you to pay attention to the chandeliers of Italy crystal, which differ in both quality and an acceptable price.
Pilot chandeliers are most often a ceiling, closely pressed to the ceiling. When buying such a lamp, you should pay attention to the quality and transparency of the glass. Best if it is colorless. The matte option is also perfect. Chosen glass is selected so that the light from such a chandelier does not begin to irritate it quite difficult.
Well, another important aspect when choosing a chandelier should be considered its power. It is determined by summing the power of all the lamps with which its design is equipped. For the kitchen, an ideal option would be a power of about 150 watts, for the living room – up to 300 watts, for the bathroom – 80 – 150 W for the bathroom. As for the design, it is best to choose a chandelier to the color of wallpaper or curtains. Well, of course, he must be in harmony with the general color and stylistic solution of the interior.
So, choosing a chandelier for an apartment, you should pay attention to both its power and design. In addition, it is necessary to take into account the features of the design of the ceiling and this lighting device itself.
