Tips for choosing

Before choosing chandeliers for the interior of a room, you need to consider simple but important tips:

• the smaller the room, the simpler the lighting should be;
• it is necessary to consider the zones of the room and their functionality (will there be a place for reading, a desk, a dining room);
• what additional lighting methods will be used (floor lamp, sconce, spotlights), how they will be combined with the main light source;
• the style and color palette of the interior should echo the design of the lamp.

As a rule, a chandelier is mounted in the center of the room, but if there are 2 zones in one room, then you need to use two sources of central lighting, if necessary. Or use a chandelier in one zone, and complement the other with sconces and spotlights (this decision depends on the purpose of the zones and the required light intensity).

Cold lighting should be selected for the work area, warm, but not too dark light is suitable for rest and relaxation. You can choose lighting with adjustable light intensity, the best option for bedrooms and children’s rooms.
