Add Elegance with a Crystal Chandelier | There is no doubt that a crystal chandelier brings style and elegance into a room. They are beautiful hanging lights that provide a real centrepiece and focal point for the room. Where to hang them and how to choose the right design are important if you want to create the dramatic effect that a crystal chandelier can provide. This article explores everything you need to know to get the right design and create the perfect look in the home.
Where to place a chandelier is a very important part of creating a dramatic and elegant look. Chandeliers must be hung in the centre of a room or in the centre of a hallway or in the centre of a table. There is a common theme running through here - the centre. Having any hanging light off centre will not look good. They are quite versatile lights in that they can be displayed in any room of the house. Sitting rooms, hallways, dining rooms or even bedrooms can all look that extra bit special with a crystal chandelier, or any chandelier for that matter.
In order to get it right, you must choose a light that is an appropriate size for the room. That means getting one too small will not look good, neither will getting one that is just too large for the space provided. Hallways are the perfect place for a hanging light as it is the first thing people see when they walk into a room. Hallways can be narrow and small however so a small design will be most suitable here. The dining room table can really be brought alive through the hanging of an elegant light above it. It is even possible to purchase a chandelier type light on a spring so you can pull it nearer to the table when you want more lighting. This makes it perfect as both atmospheric lighting but also for task lighting.
Coloured chandeliers are quite a new idea, but they can look truly fantastic in the house. Black, red, white....there are plenty of colours available. Black and red chandeliers look particularly good in amongst vintage themed rooms or antique furniture. Adding a coloured light can bring the room together well and provide an eye-catching feature. Traditional crystal chandeliers are perfect when you want to keep a traditional feel to the room. They are extremely elegant and shimmer and glisten in the light. The rainbow effects that are created on the wall make them that bit more special too. Any room can be lifted with the use of a coloured or crystal chandelier and as all budgets can be accommodated you can purchase more than one and display them throughout the house.
They really are the best kind of lights to purchase too because they are long lasting, durable and what's more, they never go out of fashion. For hundreds of years chandeliers have been used to add style and elegance to homes throughout the world and there is little chance of this changing any time soon. Well into the future no doubt people will be displaying chandeliers and other hanging lights over their dining room tables or in the hallways for people see when they enter through the front door.
If you want to make the most out of your home then getting the lighting right is very important. A crystal chandelier can provide elegance and style and coloured chandeliers provide a unique and contemporary edge to any room. Depending on your own taste, interior design and budget will depend on what type of light you buy. You will never regret purchasing crystal chandeliers for the home.
