Choosing the Best Crystal Chandelier for Your Home
A crystal chandelier is a beautiful addition to any home and immediately adds a touch of luxury and class. Purchasing a crystal chandelier is an exciting experience and a worthwhile investment. However, not every homeowner knows how to select the perfect chandelier for their home.
Here are a few helpful tips that can aid in the shopping process:
- Choose an appropriate size. It is important that you choose a chandelier that will hang at the right height and allow enough space for people to move around it easily and not clutter the room in relation to other furniture. If your ceilings are lower or your home is not that big, then opt for a smaller chandelier.
- Assess the style of the room. Take into consideration the different architectural styles of each room to make sure that the crystal chandelier you choose will coordinate nicely with the decor. Crystal chandeliers look best and are normally found in entry ways and dining rooms; however, they are becoming increasingly more common in bedrooms and bathrooms as well.
- Pay attention to the cleaning method. Crystal chandeliers are dust magnets and need to be carefully cleaned regularly. Simpler designs are generally easier to clean, so if that is an important factor for you, keep that in mind when you’re stopping.
- Choose the right light bulbs. It is important to purchase the right kind of bulbs in order to ensure the safety of your chandelier and overall home. Check your electrical box first to be sure it is equipped to be able to support the electric needs of a chandelier. Also inquire when you are purchasing about what wattage is best suited to your chandelier, so you do not cause a shortage in the connections.
- Explore your options. Avoid sticking to just one chandelier design in a single store. Visit several furniture and lighting shops, so you can view a lot of different styles and prices. This will guarantee that you find the right crystal chandelier for your design tastes and budget.
