How to Choose the Best Wooden Chandeliers
Selecting a modern light fixture for the home can be an enjoyable experience as you consider all the options available. First, consider the size of the chandelier compared to the space where you will hang it. The chandelier's height and diameter must both match the area where you will hang it. Discover the diameter by adding the room's length and width and treating that number as inches. The height of the chandelier is another consideration. The room's ceiling height factors into whether your room would look best with a tall chandelier or a shorter one. Be sure the length of the chain or cords allows for proper spacing. Also keep in mind the type of bulbs you will need, whether traditional or LED for energy savings. Modern wood chandeliers should also complement the existing décor in some way, choose a white wood chandelier, or a black wood chandelier to carrying a theme or coordinating with a color scheme.
Other Considerations
If you find that you appreciate the unique look of the wood tones in this light fixture style, consider other forms of contemporary chandeliers, offering a brilliant selection of polished stainless steel, LED lighting, and even polycarbonate prismatic Fresnel lenses, which are similar to glass but lighter and more slender. In any room of the home, a chandelier has the ability to make a statement and catch the attentnion of your guests. You may also want to consider layering the lighting in your home with a selection of sconces spaced out in accordance with the chandelier. And finallly, look to the assortment of living room lighting for a variety of ways you can create a comfortable, inviting and well-illuminated living space.
