Well there a re a lot to be considered when having a crystal chandelier for your home. One big factor is the location of it, sure you have a great crystal chandelier in your home but the question is where does it fit? Well if you ask me, I can tell you that there so many possibilities by for me, personally the dining room is good place to start. Why? Well the fact that people spends time there is one, next is you always want your dining room pleasant and if you have guests having a crystal chandelier into your dining hall will wow them for sure. When considering on putting crystal chandelier on your dining room here are some tips that I can offer you guys. First off, measure the width of your table. The chandelier you choose should never be wider than your table. A good guideline to follow is that the width of the chandelier should be 12 inches narrower than the width of a dining table.
After which you have to measure the dimensions of the room. You want a chandelier to create a perfect balance in a dining room. The fixture shouldn’t be so small it gets lost, and it shouldn’t be so large it overpowers the table and creates harsh lighting. The ends of the fixture should be at least 4 feet away from any wall. If your dining space is small, say a dinette area off the kitchen in a town home, you might choose a pendant chandelier. This smaller fixture can still be an elegant piece, but on a smaller scale so it fits in with the space. Remember to Measure the distance from the table surface to the ceiling. Most chandeliers should hang about 30-34 inches above the top of a dining table, if you have 8 foot ceilings. Make sure your chandelier is not so tall that it can’t be hung high enough. You never want the chandelier to be in people’s view when they’re sitting at the table.
Next stuff is considering the existing finishes in your room. Make sure your chandelier is the same, or in a complementary shade to any existing metals in the room. You don’t want to have all silver picture frames and then a gold fixture. Brushed bronze, gold, and black are more muted tones that can work well in rooms where you don’t have a uniformity of finishes. Consider the colors of your room. If you have a lot of rich, warm wood and earth tones, go for gold or bronze finishes. Cool tones like blues and whites, or modern black furniture might look better with silver or black finishes. Give it a style, so it won’t look plain.
Match the style of the room. If the room is very formal and elegant, you need an impressive fixture to complete the look. If you have antique or ornate furniture, choose more complicated chandelier designs that have scrolling designs or hanging pendants. Consider the illumination factor. In a small space, a chandelier with a lot of bulbs or direct lighting can be too overpowering. Many lighting stores display their chandeliers in use, so make sure you evaluate how bright or dim a chandelier is. If it’s your only light source, you do want it to be powerful enough for people to see their food by. Crystal chandeliers fit in various places it is important that you know where to put in so that you’ll have the benefit of satisfaction for your crystal chandelier decisions.
