CHANDELIER DESGINS!

CHANDELIER DESIGNS :

"A fine chandelier is an INVESTMENT that will add to the value of your HOME ”. Fashionable and functional, chandeliers should be incorporated into the HOME just as any decorative ACCESSORY or object of art would be chosen. To find the right
STYLE chandelier for your HOME, simply begin with a color or a material that is predominant in the decoration scheme of the room. If the room is more traditional, choose chandeliers with more ORNAMENTATION and decorative details. If your home is modern, opt for less ornamentation and simpler details.
Here are some more tips when shopping for a chandelier :

WEIGHT THERE:
Always consider the weight of the chandelier. Chandeliers heavier than 50 pounds have to be mounted more securely to the house's structure.
LIGHT IT RIGHT: Be sure to choose the correct light bulbs for your particular chandelier. In chandeliers with linen shades, frosted bulbs cast a pleasing glow and won't create shadows.
FINISH LINE: Chandeliers no longer feature just one metal or just one finish. The LATEST looks offer multi-tone finishes created by painted or chemical processes.
MIXED MESSAGES: Mixing of materials and STYLES within one fixture is now a common DESIGN trend. It is not unusual, for example, to find a rustic cast-iron fixture with crystals hanging from it, or different metals and types of glass all incorporated into one fixture.
DIM LIT: Whether they are ornate and multi-armed or simply feature a large-scale bowl, chandeliers need a dimmer so homeowners can control the intensity of light. "They should always be controlled by a dimmer to add to the aesthetic appeal."
