Antique Chandeliers: How Do I Choose the Right Size?
Just remember a couple guidelines when selecting Antique Lighting and you’ll know how to determine the correct size for Antique Chandeliers in any room in your home. First take the dimensions of your room, for instance 16 ft. by 20 ft., and add them together to get a sum, in this case 36. Change this number to inches and you have the approximate diameter of the Antique Chandelier to you should choose for that space. If a Vintage Chandelier will hang over a table, you’ll also want to take the dimensions of the table into consideration. Normally, the diameter of the Vintage Chandelier should be 50% of the table width or greater, and should hang at least 30 to 33 inches above the table. Keep in mind these are just suggested guidelines, and it is better to err on the larger size as an Antique Chandelier that is too small for the space stands out like a sore thumb. Of course, you don’t want to overpower a small space with an oversized Vintage Chandelier either, so just use your best judgment.
Create a Unique Design with Antique Lighting
One of the best ways to add character and visual interest to a home is through the use of Antique Lighting. Antique Chandeliers are unique and allow you to personalize each room in your home, creating a style that is all your own. Selecting modern chandeliers from the local home improvement store creates a rather dull and boring décor, one that your neighbor down the street can easily duplicate. However, your family and friends will greatly enjoy dining beneath a one-of-a-kind Antique Chandelier, perhaps in the Blue Delft style to compliment your stunning Blue and White ceramic collection. A brass Vintage Chandelier in the Flemish Renaissance Style makes a classic and elegant statement in a foyer or entryway, while a pretty little Vintage Chandelier in the Capodimonte style with drop roses adds a feminine touch to a small space such as a powder room or guest bathroom. Of course an Antique Chandelier made from antlers would create rustic charm in the breakfast room of your mountain cabin. The possibilities are endless when it comes to decorating with Antique Lighting!
Vintage Chandeliers Everywhere!
In years past, Vintage Chandeliers were only found in a foyer or a dining room. However, the latest home design trend is to use Vintage Chandeliers throughout the home as it creates a more personal and visually interesting décor. Flip through the pages of any home design magazine and you’ll find Antique Lighting in kitchens, Antique Chandeliers in bedrooms, and Vintage Chandeliers in powder rooms and master bathroom suites.
