Chandelier in the kitchen

Chandeliers have been used in
almost every room in the home.  From
the dining room, the chandeliers have also moved to living rooms, halls,
bathrooms and now kitchens.  Since most
chandeliers are ornate, it will be a decorative piece of lighting, and having
one in the kitchen will surely catch your eye.  One may wonder why one wants to pay
attention to the kitchen lighting.  For
the artistic people as well as those who appreciate variety in lighting,
having one will only add to the beauty of a well-organized and beautiful
kitchen.  Here are some tips on how to
get the most out of using chandeliers for your
kitchen.

Check the
style

The style of the chandelier
should match the kitchen.  As such,
consider finishing the chandelier and making sure it matches the faucets,
drawer handles and other kitchen
fixtures.

Check the
material

The kitchen is a work
area that is exposed to grease and steam as well as odors from food.  When choosing a good chandelier for kitchen
use, note how well the material used handles these.  Crystal chandeliers and other chandeliers
made of glass may not be so ideal for kitchen
use.

Layer the
Lighting

Just having a chandelier
in the kitchen is not a good idea. 
Instead, try to add the lighting for a more visually appealing and
practically lit kitchen.  Use recessed
lighting for ambient lighting and countertops for work lighting.  This will give your kitchen a total balance
when it comes to lighting, as chandeliers are generally not a good source of
ambient lighting.

Get the right
size

We can not talk about
chandeliers without mentioning size. 
The right way to get the right size of chandelier is to take the
length and width of the room, add them and then use the result as the right
diameter in inches for the chandelier. 
Do not hang the chandelier too close to the floor, as you may bump
into it while walking, otherwise it may obstruct the road.

Place
the chandelier

This depends on
whether the kitchen is a food kitchen or not. 
For those who eat in the kitchen, it is advisable to mount the
chandelier just above the dining table. 
If the kitchen is not a food kitchen, it will work well to center the
chandelier for the kitchen.  Be careful
when mounting the chandelier, as it is best to do with an
electrician.
