Chandeliers find use today not
only in the dining room but also in the bathrooms and bedrooms. Most people are often challenged about how
to best use chandeliers in the bedroom;
just for lighting or for decoration?
The good news is that chandeliers can be used in the bedroom for both
reasons, as well as to create an atmosphere that other light fixtures can
only achieve through the use of dimmers.
Apart from this, there are also other considerations that need to be
considered.
The fairly large
chandelier for the bedroom
Here
are most of the things that go wrong.
Chandeliers for bedrooms come in all sorts of different sizes, and so
do most bedrooms. Ordering a
chandelier just because you want one can lead to many regrets, as the
chandelier with the wrong size will not achieve both style and function in
the bedroom. One way to overcome this
is by measuring the dimensions of the bedroom, which includes measuring the
height of the wall and the length and width of the bedroom. The length and width measurements must be
added together and the result must be used as the chandelier’s diameter size,
in inches, ie. if the result is 24
feet, the diameter of the chandelier should be 24 inches. The wall height must then be adjusted to
measure the height of the chandelier.
Multiply the height of the wall by 2 or 3 to get the number in inches
for the height of the chandelier, ie.
if the wall height is 10 feet, the chandelier should be 20 or 30
inches long.
Tip: The chandelier does not need to
be placed centrally in the room, but rather centered on the most striking
objects in your bedroom, such as a masterpiece
bed.
The right style of
chandelier
Here’s style in
relation to your bedroom’s interior design style. If the style is traditional, go for
chandeliers for bedrooms that are traditionally decorated. If your style is modern, go for a
chandelier with modern style. This
will work to harmonize the theme of your bedroom decor and thus maintain the
original style without
colliding.
The right effect for the
chandelier
This is of course due
to the function of the chandelier. For
ambient lighting, it is good to use a power of 25 watts. However, since chandeliers hold more than
one light bulb, you should calculate the wattage needs of the room by
multiplying the length and width and then multiplying the result by 1.5. This gives you the effect required for
ambient lighting. For example, if your
room is 12 x 14 feet, the result 168 should be multiplied by 1.5 to give 252 watts. If you use two bedside lamps, add their
effect and minus this from the room effect to get the right chandelier
effect.
