When it comes to decorating your ceiling and, more generally, the rooms in your home, a chandelier is an essential element. Indeed, this decorative tool allows you not only to enjoy its decorative and elegant appearance but also to provide pleasant lighting. With the ingenuity of today's designers and the number of such products available online, it is often difficult to choose a good chandelier. That's why in this article, we'll give you some tips to help you find the chandeliers best suited to the decor of your rooms.
Types of glass pendants
There are so many different types of chandeliers that listing them all seems pointless. Fortunately, however, the majority of glass chandeliers can be classified into the following types:
Crystal chandeliers
These are part of a classic decor. In addition to being functional lighting devices, they allow you to highlight the aesthetics and charm of the interior decoration. Many manufacturers use quality materials so that you can enjoy elegant crystal pendants. On the FAUVEX website, you have many concrete examples of these chandeliers and a real range between fixed and adjustable chandeliers, vintage or contemporary style. When we talk about crystals here, know that you will find colors that are not necessarily common. Indeed, you will find black glass, black-gray and even yellow-gray.
Designer chandeliers
Often made of brushed steel or chrome, these chandeliers are most often found with a stem rather than a chain. In a contemporary style, they are often used in dining rooms or larger spaces such as a living room. You can enhance the atmosphere of your home with thousands of existing models.
Murano chandeliers
Jewels of Italian lighting, these chandeliers are the product of the expertise of a few rare master glassmakers. If you're located in Italy, you'll find skilled makers of this type of glass pendant light no further than Venice. Much more than simple chandeliers, these are true works of art. They are made of Venetian glass, which is renowned worldwide for its craftsmanship and unique coloring.
Brass chandeliers
Brass is an iron-free alloy made of zinc and copper and available in various proportions. Brass chandeliers are often paired with artisanal glassware. They allow for the preservation of traditional materials while adding a contemporary touch through original shapes and styles.
Bronze and iron fall into the same category as brass. They're often paired with glass to create pendant lights that you can place in the most important rooms of a given space. Speaking of space, we'll now discuss the best places to place a glass pendant light.
Where to place a glass pendant light
We've already given some clues about where to place a glass pendant light, and these were relative to the rooms in a house. Generally speaking, chandeliers can be placed in any room of your house, except perhaps your grandchildren's bedroom. Indeed, you can place it in the center of your living room so that it's the first thing your guests see. This can directly give them a sense of luxury in your home. Moreover, placing it in your kitchen or dining room will have the same effect. If you also have a fairly large bedroom, a glass pendant light can change the ambiance that often reigns in this type of room. Indeed, in addition to being a place of rest, you can enjoy ambient and harmonious lighting. Favor large rooms when placing your chandeliers because they are the ones that best showcase them. Yes, the chandelier gives a certain personality to your room, but this room should also respect a certain standard.
Still on the subject of chandelier placement, note that they are widely used in prestigious buildings, theaters, and high-ceilinged function rooms. They come in a variety of shapes and are often adorned with crystal pendants, which help refract light throughout the room and increase brightness. For a wedding or a grand gathering, you can choose a room featuring this type of chandelier.
How to choose your glass pendant light
When choosing your glass pendant light, you'll first need to decide on the room in which it will be placed. Parameters such as size, design, lighting level, and the number and style of the light depend on the intended room. For example, if your chandelier is to be placed in a bedroom or office, it should have at most three bulbs. For larger rooms such as a living room, your chandelier should have several sockets. If the room is dark or receives little natural light, you should choose a chandelier with several bulbs. Regarding styles, you should choose a cozy style for the bedroom, a colorful one for the kitchen, an industrial or contemporary one for the living room, and a classic one for the office. You can use this simple rule to choose the right proportions for your chandeliers. Multiply the surface area of the room by three to obtain a diameter that fits the space. For a 30m² room, for example, a model of approximately 90 cm will be sufficient. Regarding heights, you can place your chandeliers more than 2m from the ground, especially in rooms such as a living room where the chandelier will have a central place.
In short, having a chandelier in your home, workplace, or elsewhere will always be synonymous with good aesthetic sensitivity. Indeed, this accessory allows you to make your room comfortable and warm because yes, light is the key point that transforms your home into a pleasant home. It is important to know how to choose your chandelier and where to place it, and thanks to our advice, we are confident that you will know how to do it.
