A chandelier can transform any room into a breathtaking space that radiates luxury. But with so many styles, sizes and finishes available, choosing the perfect chandelier can be quite a challenge. But, fear not! We've put together a comprehensive guide to help you select the ideal chandelier for your home.
Decide where and for what you want to use the chandelier
The first step to choosing the perfect chandelier is deciding where you want to hang it and what you want to use it for. Will it be a showpiece for the dining room or living room, or will it soon adorn the bedroom or hallway? The size and style of the chandelier are therefore mainly determined by the place where you hang it.
Go for a lamp that suits your style and furnishings
A chandelier should complement the style of your home, rather than clash with it. If you have a traditional or classically inspired home, a crystal or iron chandelier with candle-shaped lights can be a perfect fit. For example, be inspired by the Nova chandelier by Eichholtz or the Luca Chandelier by Porta Romana. Do you have a modern or minimalist interior? Then add a simple chandelier with clean lines and a touch of contemporary glamour. Think of the Eichholtz chandelier Argento or Chandelier Lux.
Choose the right finish for the chandelier
The chandelier's finish can either blend or contrast with the existing decor in the room. If you have metal accents in the room, such as brass or chrome, consider choosing a chandelier with similar finishes to create a cohesive look. On the other hand, if you really want to make a statement, choose a chandelier with a bold finish that stands out and contrasts with the color palette in your home.
Select the correct fitting
The lamps in the chandelier can significantly influence the atmosphere of the room. Consider the wattage of the bulbs, as well as the color temperature, to ensure that the chandelier provides the right amount of light for the function of the room. Consider having a dimmer installed to adjust light levels to your needs.
Choosing the perfect chandelier doesn't have to be a difficult task. By determining the purpose and placement of the fixture, considering the style and décor of your home, choosing the right size and scale, choosing the perfect finish, and selecting the right bulbs, you can create the ideal chandelier for find your space.
