Buying a wrought iron chandelier

Wrought iron chandeliers always
have a big impact on the house’s overall interior.  These chandeliers are available in a wide
range of sizes and shapes.  This really
makes it a daunting process when it comes to choosing a suitable one for your
home decor.  Choosing a suitable
chandelier depends on several factors. 
Here are some highlights to get you
through.

Material
Type

The type of material is
crucial when it comes to achieving the right upholstery for the
chandeliers.  Chandeliers that are
produced on a large scale usually consist of steel tubes.  Steel pipes are preferred in this process
because they are cheaper, weigh less and can be easily bent.  These properties make it the ultimate
choice for mass production.  The
disadvantage of this type of material is that the square hose is not actually
a perfect square.  The edges of the
hose are slightly round and this affects the finish.  There are certain materials that are also
associated with certain
styles.

Size

The size of the chandelier is a
rule of thumb for all types of chandeliers. 
The size of the chandelier in wrought iron correlates with the size of
the room where it is to be fixed.  A
room with a high ceiling looks perfect with a large chandelier, while a room
with a low ceiling fits best with smaller chandeliers.  The key factor for the size of the luminaire
is to keep the luminaire properly positioned and in proportion to the
available space.  If the chandelier is
fixed in the dining room, make sure that it does not obscure the view of the
table.

Weight

Wrought
iron chandeliers are usually heavy compared to brass.  The weight of the fixture is particularly
proportional to the size.  Larger
chandeliers tend to weigh more.  If you
choose a larger chandelier, make sure it is firmly attached to the wall.  Also make sure that the wall or ceiling can
comfortably carry the weight of the
luminaire.

Style

These
types of chandeliers are usually associated with elegance and classic design.  The luminaire you choose must match the
size of the room and its interior.  If
you have a rustic decor, a wrought iron chandelier would not be a suitable
choice.  Instead, a rustic interior
matches well with a rough wooden chandelier. 
In the case of a Victorian dining room, a crystal chandelier is most
appropriate.
