In the world of interior design, fundamental choices shape the ultimate look. They decide whether the finished product will scream ordinary, or spectacular! A perfect illustration of this concept is an unfinished, ordinary building, transformed almost overnight into a spectacular one by one single design element: crystal chandeliers.
There is a huge variety of styles and qualities to choose from when picking the right chandelier for your home. The first step is to measure your room, and if the ones you are hoping to install will be hung over a table or tables, measure the table’s size and the distance between the table top and the ceiling. Chandeliers should always hang a good distance above the floor. For example, in room with a two story ceiling it should be no less then 10 feet above the floor, and at least 2 ½ feet above a table.
When hanging one above a table or tables, make sure that you choose your crystal chandeliers based on your table size and seating. It must be large enough to be well pronounced, but not too large that it seems to impose over a small table. Generally speaking, for a table seating 8 or 10 people, you will need a chandelier that is 30 -36 inches in diameter. For a room with a small table that seats 4 to 6, the chandelier’s diameter should be no more than 24 inches. For a room with more then one small table, hang one appropriately sized chandelier above each table.
From these estimates and the size of your room you can get a clear picture of what sized crystal chandeliers you need. Then, move on to styles.
Swarovski crystals are the most popular, highest quality crystal used for crystal chandeliers. Starting with the best crystal is a good place to begin, after which you should choose your preference of crystal cut: hand cut and polished or laser cut. Many dazzling shapes and sizes of crystals are available, so when choosing the crystal type, look for the one that best suits your taste and existing décor.
Getting the right fixture for your crystal chandelier is crucial, both to match the crystal size and shape and perhaps more importantly, the design and décor of the room. Fixtures may be all crystal, glass arm or wrought iron. Within these, different colors are available and should be chosen with regard to the color scheme of your house and the room you are decorating. The fixture colors available include gold, chrome, colored glass or colored crystal.
The words luxury, elegance, and style all come to mind when you see a breathtaking assortment of classic Swarovski crystal chandeliers in their enchanting dance beneath a beautiful ceiling. Whether the crystal chandeliers are in a ballroom, a conference hall, or your very own formal dining room, they are guaranteed both to complement the décor you already have; and then go a step further by re-defining your home or building with the decadence it is worthy of.
