One of the key components in laying out a room is the choice of dimensions of the chandelier (or any other kind of light that hangs from the ceiling) when you are constructing or renovating the room. Luckily, there is a set of techniques on finding the right dimension for a chandelier that you may find attractive. Let us proceed with the selection.
In most cases, the width of the chandelier is the most important part of the dimension in choosing the perfect chandelier. When one speaks of the chandelier's width, it means its diameter - from one end to the other end that cuts across the space in the middle. In addition, the choice of the width would depend on the use of the fixtures in the room.
Lamp End Tables
For example, when you are in a kitchen and require lighting on the kitchen island or table. First, you will have to measure the width of the table (or diameter if the table is round shaped). Second, deduct a foot from the diameter or width which should be the ideal width or diameter of the chandelier. When you are planning to light up any place in the house (a foyer for example). The first thing you should do is measure the room from one end to the other end. Then convert the figures to inches. This is ideal for the fixture.
Aside from the width, you should also consider the placing of the chandelier in terms of height from the ground. The ideal will depend on the effects that one requires and some common sense. For instance, if you are planning to set up a chandelier on your informal dining area with a low ceiling, installing a tall, multi-tier chandelier is definitely not proper.
Remember that a set up that is appears to be busy or complicated may seem larger. So, it is recommended that the width of the chandelier be reduced further. Though chandeliers appear with so many bulbs that shines, they are not adequate to provide the necessary light for the entire room. It is highly recommended to consider three layers of light (ambient, accent, and task) in order to keep the place illuminated.
