TOP errors when choosing a chandelier

The purchase of a chandelier can be compared with the acquisition of jewelry, it is not necessary to choose the very road, because in addition to decorativeness, the lighting device also has a direct functional value. Consider the most frequent errors when buying a chandelier to the apartment:
- The mismatch of the power of the illuminated area. According to the accepted standards, a 40 W lamp is designed 2.2 m3, 60 Tu – 3.5 m3, 100 W – 5.5 m. In addition to power, the bandwidth of the ceiling, the color of surfaces in the room is taken into account. For example, in the interior with dark walls you need a chandelier with a high degree of lighting.
- The method of attaching the chandelier to the ceiling is not suitable for existing initial data. For suspended ceilings, a thoughtful method of attaching a chandelier is required, and with stretch canvases, the temperature emitted by incandescent lamps is taken into account. In this case, select LED or halogen lamps.
- The color of the ceiling is disconnected with the main color decoration of the room, therefore it is important to choose the desired tone, and check it in the off state at the time of glow.
- The height of the chandelier is important both from an aesthetic point of view and from practical. A low suspended large chandelier in a room with low ceilings looks inappropriately and gives the impression of clutter. Low lamps are inconvenient, as the inhabitants of the apartment will cling to it during the movement. Modern models are regulated in height of the mount, therefore it is important to choose the best option.
- Fashionable does not mean success. Looking at the store an amazingly beautiful chandelier, do not rush to buy it. Try it visually to the existing interior, the dimensions of the room and the convenience of operation.
