Deluxe Rustic Chandelier Photo

Shades – Chandelier shades typically come in glass or fabric. Glass shades allow brighter light; fabric shades provide more diffused light. Popular chandelier shades include: • Seeded glass • Etched glass • Rain glass • Frosted glass • Tiffany-style glass • Linen

Reserve large chandeliers for grand entryways or a large formal dining room. If your dining room table is extra long, consider hanging two medium chandeliers instead of one large one.Most chandeliers come with an adjustable rod or chain so you can alter the hanging height as needed.

Lighting collections offer fixtures in the same style and finish for many areas of the home. For more information on lighting options, Do not forget light bulbs. Things like color temperature, lumen and wattage all play a factor in your rooms quality of light. Light emitting diodes (LEDs) and compact fluorescents (CFLs) help lower energy costs.

A two-tier chandelier can add elegance to a dining room, whereas a three-, four-, five-tier chandelier works well for a grand entryway. Candelabra chandeliers are lighting fixtures styled to look as if they hold candles.

Two things to remember when hanging a chandelier are: Be sure it does not block the view of people seated at the table and it does not hang too low so people bump into it. Use the chart to help find the size that works for your home.
