Looking to brighten up your interior but overwhelmed by the vast selection of chandeliers, and the prices don’t always match the quality? After analyzing the lighting market, we have identified only the most crucial criteria to help you make a successful choice.
Let’s start by determining which room the chandelier is needed for, as each space requires a different amount of light.:
- Kitchen and living room — 20 W per square meter2
- Bathroom, children’s room — 15-18W per square meter2
- Bedroom — 10-12 W per square meter2
An alternative is to use a dimmer switch, which allows you to adjust the brightness of the lights.
Choosing the design. In a loft-style room, suspended structures and the currently fashionable track systems with various mounting options for the track will fit perfectly. For a classic style, crystal is, of course, the go-to choice.
Considering the nature and height of the ceilings is essential. For ceilings lower than 2.6 meters, it is more practical to use recessed or surface-mounted lights.
An important consideration is the color temperature of the light. It can range from warm, to neutral daylight, to cool. Ultimately, it all depends on your personal preferences.
Modern solutions include LED chandeliers and lighting fixtures. They look elegant and stylish while significantly saving on energy consumption. However, if one burns out, you will need to replace the entire chandelier. Another option is a chandelier designed for bulbs, with various shades, arms, etc. In this case, you only need to replace the individual burnt-out bulb.
Following the recommendations, you are sure to make the right choice.
