Find the Right Living Room Chandelier
There are more and more options for lighting fixtures during decoration, but chandeliers are not out of fashion. They have changed their styles to match the overall decoration style and been around forever. Here, let's find the right chandelier for your living room.
Consider the Living Room's Style
-
If the living room has a high ceiling, choosing a large and visually striking chandelier to focus attention will become the highlight of the entire space.
-
For a more ornate decoration, crystal chandeliers with a similar style can be selected as the main lighting, with additional auxiliary light sources around.
-
For a unique look, living room lighting fixture of different styles can be chosen, with contrasting materials and colors to create a distinctive atmosphere and make the space more unique.
Consider the Living Room's Space
The size of the living room light should be determined based on the area, typically ranging from 215 to 430 ft2/ 20 to 40m2. However, it doesn't mean that a larger living room requires a bigger light fixture. Auxiliary lighting can be utilized, such as floor lamps beside the sofa, wall lights, or pendant installed according to the overall decoration style.
Check the Ceiling Height
Chandeliers come with a certain length, so attention should be paid to the ceiling height when selecting them.- For rooms with a ceiling height of 102 to 106in/ 260 to 270cm, the length of the chandelier should not exceed 16in/40cm.
- If the height of the living room exceeds 118in/ 300cm, larger round chandeliers are suitable, making the living room look magnificent.
Select on Lighting Function
Not all chandeliers have strong lighting functions. Sometimes, installing a chandelier is not just for illumination but more for creating an atmosphere. If the chandelier's light source is not ample, other lighting fixtures should be installed appropriately. These not only increase brightness but also serve as decorative accents for the living room.
Based on Cleaning Considerations
When purchasing living room chandeliers, choose ones with downward shades that are less prone to dust accumulation. Additionally, find chandeliers with simple structures that are easy to disassemble and reassemble, saving trouble during routine cleaning and maintenance.
