Some spaces just require a taciturn trio of adornment lights, quietly going about their thing. And, others call for lanterns of pouring exquisite gold-like lights over cozy corners. But at times, only statement eye-popping, attention-grabbing, crystal-seeping chandeliers will inject that missing knack into your room.

So, if you are looking to inject some wham-bam beauty, class, and glamour into those interiors of yours with nice chandeliers, there is something extra you need to know to land your golden deal—the tricks of choosing the best chandelier for your home.

Get them into your bathroom, laundry area, or the nursery/backyard. They’ll work magic. They’re pieces of pendant jewels for any home and will divulge your individual style. In fact, chandeliers are the easiest way of transforming any home.

 

Understanding the Types of Chandeliers

 

Chandeliers aren’t anything close to basic in style. You’ll find some that are classy, like those accentuating a palace ballroom, some which offer a modern but simpler style, and others that provide an old-fashioned appearance. In other words, you have got several options to choose from. Here are common designs to consider:

·         Mini and Tiered chandeliers

·         Drum and Candelabra chandeliers

·         Crystal chandeliers

Consider Your Personal Style

Chandeliers are available in numerous looks to fit your home’s décor or your taste preference.  Many replicate a flamboyant historic look. But if you’re so much into modern styles and you want something a little more sophisticated than pendant lights, you can opt for contemporary chandeliers.

The best way to identify a lighting fixture that perfectly matches your style is to look for your preferred choice at the decorating shops you already frequent. Once you have a clue of what you gravitate towards, your next trips to lighting superstores won’t be hectic anymore.

Pricing is Important

Over the past few years, major retailers have rocked the market by offering quality, affordable, and stylish chandeliers. True, well-priced and environment-friendly pieces can readily be found online or at flea markets. However, exquisitely revamped antique designs can command prices higher going up to thousands of dollars!

 

What about the Required Amount of LIghting

The best thing about chandeliers is that they are highly attractive and at the same time they have a practical task to perform. The amount of light is dependent on your specific needs; whether you’d like the chandelier to emit lots of light or simply deliver a little decorative, ambient lighting to space.

Consider Your Room’s Size

A large lighting fixture in a small room is an overstatement and appears too plain. But one mini-chandelier can’t do much for bigger spaces like the living rooms. So, ensure that you get the right size for every space you intend to light.

While these aspects will limit your options a little bit, don’t panic- you will still have plenty of chandeliers to select from even after the restrictions on style, intensity of emitted light, and size.

Ease of Installation

Whether you intend to do the installation yourself or hiring someone to help out, a chandelier that is difficult to fix will cost you in terms of money or time. A big, expensive chandelier that’s heavy to carry needs to be handled with great care, so for certain types of lighting fixtures, you may need to call a professional instead of using your normal DIY techniques just to be safe. They should be installed more carefully to ensure they will never fall down and break. This is something you shouldn’t ignore, so make sure the procedure is done well to avoid running into huge losses.

Ease of Care and Maintenance

Let’s be frank here, cleaning chandeliers can be a daunting task. How regularly they should be cleaned and how complex it’s to clean them properly will depend on several factors, including the type of material used and the intricacy of its design. If you purchase a chandelier with loads of small pieces, be ready to pay for that elegance in cleaning time.
