install chandeliers at home

The chandeliers are mounted
light fixtures that not only give your home light but also beauty and
elegance in the rooms of your home.

Chandeliers
are permanent structures unlike the moving lamps and therefore it is necessary
to place them in the right place to make them work well and provide enough
light required for your home.  You also
need to hire an electrician to install the chandeliers properly and also to
avoid installation problems that can get expensive if they go
wrong.

Chandeliers in the home are not suitable
for installation in libraries and other places that need a sufficient amount
of lighting because chandeliers are decorative candles with a warm and dim
light.  Places such as the dining room,
living room and foyer are the best for installing chandeliers in the home
where people often talk and sit with family and friends to enjoy each other’s
company.

Some points to keep in
mind

If you place the chandelier
in a dining room, be sure to hang the fixture above the center of your
table.  You need to place the crystal
chandeliers for the other rooms in your home at a height of more than 8 feet
above the floor for style and safety. 
The scones should be hung in such a way that the light source is above
your eye level.

If your room has very high
ceilings, you need to install the chandeliers at home a little higher to make
it look elegant.  The chandelier or
chandeliers should not extend far from the wall as people may encounter it as
they pass by.

Tips for Chandelier
Shopping

Choosing the right
chandelier size to fit your dining room is important.  Your chandelier should not dominate your
dining table or look very large in the dining room.  It is ideal to measure the width and length
of your dining table or diameter if it is a round table before shopping for a
suitable chandelier.  The size of the
fixture you buy can be obtained by subtracting 12 inches from the width of
your table.

On a long wall, the smaller scones or
wall-mounted chandeliers will look lost. 
Therefore, you need to choose a chandelier size that complements the
long wall and looks perfect when you show it on the wall.  For example, you can choose a vertical and
long lamp if you have higher walls.
