The bedroom is the most calm, intimate place in the apartment or house. In order to properly approach its arrangement, it is important to choose a comfortable bed, furniture for storing personal belongings, comfortable textiles, devices for improving air quality, temperature control.
When choosing lighting for a room, it is important to consider its size, the location of the windows, and the height of the ceilings. A special chandelier is installed in the bedroom. It should perform several functions - lighting, emphasis. In the room, it is this object that becomes the central, “linking” style into one whole.
Criteria for choosing a chandelier for the bedroom
Before choosing a chandelier in the bedroom, you should find out which model is best suited to this room.
You can consider options by the criteria:
- size, it is calculated taking into account the area, ceiling height,
- mounting method
- specifications,
- consumables (bulbs, LEDs),
- remote control, installation, setting of operating modes,
- decorative design features, color scheme,
- energy saving.
A small or bulky lamp will look disharmonious or inappropriate in the bedroom. Using professional design techniques allows you to choose the right size model.
To determine the optimal one, add up the footage of the length and width of the room, multiply the result by the number 10. The resulting value will be the diameter (in cm) for the future chandelier. As an example, you can take the parameters of the room - width 3 m, length 6 m. The calculation will be as follows: (3 + 6) x 10 = 90 cm.
For a small bedroom with a ceiling height below the standard 2.5 m, you do not need to choose long hanging chandeliers. Elements will not only fill with themselves, “eat up” the space, but simply interfere with the movements of the owners in the room. Such a product will harmoniously fit into the interior of a room with a high height.
The choice of a chandelier by the way it is fixed depends on the type of ceiling - plastered, wallpapered, suspended or suspended. There are models that are for hanging on a special hook, or designed for installation on the ceiling surface.
Modern bedroom chandeliers have a remote control. Such technologies are in demand in the lounge. At any time, without getting out of bed, you can turn on or off the light, adjust the brightness of the bulbs.
The subtleties of choosing a chandelier
Before you buy a specific model, it is advisable to learn more about its technical characteristics:
- ways to control the power of the lamp. This is possible when installing a multi-track product (when one / two bulbs are turned on separately or all at once). Another rheostat switch can smoothly change the brightness of the lighting,
- parameters of cartridges (diameter, material, limiting temperature of heating). This information is useful when choosing incandescent bulbs,
- power consumption is especially important for saving. Therefore, it is advisable to purchase models in which energy-saving lamps are installed.
Find out the technical specifications first
How to take into account the parameters of the room?
Chandeliers should fit seamlessly into bedrooms of any size. For a large room, they usually get a massive model in order to visually maintain the proportions. The marker lamp harmoniously complements the spacious environment. And in a small room, bulky, even if the original chandelier, will attract too much attention and visually emphasize its modest dimensions.
We take into account the parameters of the room
Therefore, designers when buying a lamp offer to pay attention to several points:
- model selection depends on ceiling height. In low rooms, it is recommended to install a ceiling chandelier so that you do not have to worry about hitting it when moving. A pendant lamp will emphasize the height of the ceiling and visually add room to the room,
- the location of the bed is especially important in rectangular rooms or rooms of non-standard shape. Designers suggest installing a chandelier directly above the bed. This issue must be resolved at the stage of repairing the bedroom. And it is understood that it is not planned to change the location of the bed until the next repair.
Square bedrooms are infrequent. The standard layout of apartments is rectangular-shaped rooms.
Square version of the room
Forms and mounting options for fixtures
The bedroom is first of all a cozy rest room, hidden from prying eyes. Therefore, too elaborate chandeliers are rarely bought. If the room performs several functions (living room / bedroom, children's / bedroom), then the purchase of an unusual design lamp is quite justified. Such a model can emphasize the non-standard interior of the room, take part in its zoning.
Many choose this type of fixtures
Given the different parameters of the rooms, manufacturers offer several options for organizing central lighting in the bedroom. Common are ceiling and pendant chandeliers:
- Ceiling lights are mounted on the ceiling surface, and they are optimally suited for low bedrooms. The luminous flux can be directed both up and down (depending on the type of ceiling). Models differ in size, shape, materials. It’s easy to pick up a chandelier for any interior,
- Pendant lights are chosen for spacious rooms with high ceilings, since shades and lampshades are attached to the ceiling with cables, special cords. Interesting models in which the length of the suspension is regulated. This is one way to change the brightness of the lighting. You can beautifully design a spacious bedroom with elongated chandeliers, in which several shades are fixed in a row.
Additional lights are placed on the ceiling
The most affordable option for controlling brightness is the installation of incandescent lamps of a certain type and power.
Types of lamps for fixtures
Thanks to different types of lamps, it is possible to create lighting of different brightness and mood in a room:
- traditional incandescent bulbs create soft diffused light. Due to the fact that they heat up very much - they do not screw into plastic, fabric shades,
- halogen is not recommended for use in the bedroom. Too cold light does not give the room a cosiness and creates an “inanimate” atmosphere,
- Luminescent are very popular and in demand due to profitability. Although the lighting from such lamps also looks somewhat cold. To soften this effect, textile lampshades, matte shades of warm colors help.
For lovers of minimalism
The central lighting in the bedroom has both supporters and opponents. Convincing arguments are presented on both sides.
Central lighting has many advantages.
The main advantages of installing the lamp in the center:
- you can always rearrange the furniture, without looking at the chandelier. After all, it’s easy to create comfortable zone lighting with floor lamps, bedside sconces,
- large lineup. It’s easy to choose a product for any interior,
- large assortment at different prices.
The main disadvantage of the central chandelier is the uneven illumination of the area of a large room. As you move away from the center, the brightness of the light will decrease. Installation of additional fixtures is the optimal solution to the problem.

You can choose a model that fits organically without visually standing out in the bedroom. Or the lamp will become a bright design element. If you like a multi-colored chandelier, then it is desirable that in the decor, decoration of the room some shades of lampshade / shade are repeated.

Minimalism and high tech
Harmonious conciseness is a suitable characteristic of the interior. When choosing a bedroom setting, preference is given to objects of simple shapes, devoid of bright decor. The room is usually free of excess items. A bed, a wardrobe, bedside tables is the set of furniture that is quite enough. When creating a color palette, they manage with three colors, mainly light shades (white, sand, light brown, gray).
The main recommendations of designers on the choice of chandeliers and lamps:
- The hidden lighting system mounted in false ceilings looks original. She is not in sight and does not distract attention from the situation. Such light sources can be located around the perimeter of the room or installed in a specific place,
- chandelier shades have strict geometric shapes. Custom balloons in the form of balls give the bedroom an original look. More traditional are chandeliers with square, rectangular shapes,
- fixtures are selected in light shades. Acceptable palette - beige, white, gray shades. Fans of custom solutions will definitely like black chandeliers,
- High tech style is emphasized by models with chrome elements.

- traditional flower range of lamps: sand, olive, pale blue, white, lavender, powdery pink, milk. Naturally, the lamp should support the background of the bedroom. Provencal style involves a combination of several shades. Therefore, chandeliers that combine a neutral background and bright elements in the form of floral patterns look original. Harmonious color duets: white / green, milky / blue, sand / lavender.
Traditional lamp in yellow
For a spacious bedroom, hanging chandeliers with one or more shades are suitable. The classic version is a white / black forged metal frame and several porcelain shades decorated with floral motifs. Or one lamp with a textile lampshade, decorated with lace, ruffles, frills or fringe.
For a small room with a low ceiling, a ceiling chandelier is suitable. Glass, fabric shades are fixed on small metal or wooden planks. Please note that the brightness of the bedroom lighting depends on the transparency of the ceiling.

Style features: natural finishing materials, exquisite decoration of objects (mirrors in frames with stucco molding, curtains with lambrequins, ceiling painting). The main shades of the interior are light pastel colors (sand, cream), natural colors (olive, blue, terracotta). And chandeliers for a classic interior are selected accordingly:

Scandinavian calm
Elegant, simple, home Scandinavian style is gaining more and more fans and connoisseurs. And this is not surprising. Rooms decorated in white, pastel colors do not look faceless and cold at all thanks to bright accents (elegant pillows, rugs, paintings, lampshades). There should be few interesting details so that the interior does not turn out to be motley or flashy. Details decorated with pink, blue, green colors are welcome.
Elegant Scandinavian style
The original style is complemented by the corresponding chandeliers:
- models are created from natural materials: metal, wood, textiles, paper, glass. Interesting chandeliers are obtained by combining precisely textures (metal / wood, textiles / wood), and not shades,
- lamps of simple designs, one might even say primitive, look elegant and universal. Laconic forms are welcome, without elaborate elements: metal cone-shaped shades, linen lampshades,
- the natural surface texture of wooden elements (beech, birch, walnut) is preserved.
White dominates the Scandinavian interiors. Therefore, the bedrooms are bright, spacious. This is a suitable shade for designing a small room. In order not to lose the light, fixtures are mounted with open shades directed to the sides or down.
White Scandinavian style bedroom
In the small bedroom you can arrange several pendant lights with conical textile lampshades. To make the lighting easy to control, install a switch that allows the operation of one lamp or several.
Pompous Baroque
This style is especially popular with people who are creative, aristocratic. The interior is striking in chic and luxury. Spacious rooms are decorated with rich fabrics, precious materials and gilded furniture. A diverse entourage in the form of statues, candelabra, expensive curtains, mirrors in patterned frames is welcome. The basis of the palette is burgundy, green, purple shades. Magnificent chandeliers emphasize the sophistication of the bedroom:
- impressive metal (bronze, gilding, silver) models are decorated with crystal pendants,
- products with fabric lampshades look somewhat reserved. Such pendant chandeliers can also decorate crystal pendants of various shapes and sizes,
- if there are no plans to make the chandelier the center of attention, then a model with matte shades resembling inverted plates will be an excellent choice. The twist and carved elements of the bases become the highlight of such lamps.
Ceiling decoration of a huge and beautiful chandelier
The rich decoration of the bedroom will complement the ceiling, decorated with stucco molding. Moreover, professionals say that such a decor (made of polyurethane) can even be attached to suspended structures. A magnificent ensemble of bas-relief and crystal chandelier will give the bedroom a special aristocracy and sophistication.
Such chandeliers are equipped with halogen lamps. Thanks to the remote controls, it is easy to adjust the brightness of the light. Therefore, the lamp is simultaneously a central lamp and a night lamp.
A lot of light does not happen
Methods of combining fixtures
Apartments in which the rooms are lit by one chandelier are already rare. The bedroom sometimes draws up a work area, or creates a small reading area. When installing several fixtures, it is easy to arrange areas with different lighting levels in the room. Small sconces, compact floor lamps make the bedroom home-like, bring an atmosphere of peace and tranquility.
Light sources are formed by three types of lamps:
- central. To illuminate a small room, one chandelier is enough. And in the spacious bedroom sometimes there are two chandeliers and both are considered central,
- local lamps create comfortable lighting in certain areas. Most often, sconces or lamps are mounted near the head of the bed or put on a bedside table. If a dressing table is installed in the room, then the sconces fixed on the sides of the frame will become the best lighting for the mirror. Designers offer the original design of the mirror - an LED strip is fixed along its perimeter. The advantage of this technique is that it is not necessary to specially select a lamp in the kit for the chandelier. In the recreation area near the chair, it makes sense to put a floor lamp - it’s convenient to use and the pages of the books will be clearly visible. Such lamps illuminate only a small area. Therefore, sitting in a chair, you can safely read the magazine, without interfering with the sleep of another family member,
- decorative ones help visually zone the room. This is especially valuable for one-room apartments, where one room performs several functions (living room, bedroom, work area, children's room).
For small rooms, such a lamp is enough
An interesting option is when a square ceiling chandelier and lamps with round lampshades are made of the same material (glass, textile). So that buyers do not suffer from a choice, manufacturers produce collections of lamps and chandeliers.

How to choose a chandelier?
When choosing the type of lighting device, not only personal preferences are taken into account, but also design features, room parameters, and the ceiling height. It is desirable that the distance between the floor and the chandelier is at least 2 meters. So, as in most apartments the ceiling has a height of 2.5 to 2.7 meters, they prefer flat ceiling-mounted models. In a room with a ceiling of 3 meters or more, any light source can be installed.
- The lamp should blend harmoniously into the decor and interior styling.
- The chandelier can be a bright accent or a delicate addition to the bedroom.
- If other light sources are supposed to be used in the room, it is advisable to choose a chandelier so that it does not stand out from the general ensemble.
It is better if the lighting device will be moderately large, and attract attention, but at the same time not dominate the room.
You should pay attention to what material the lamp is made of. No toxic substances should be used in the manufacture.
By color, they prefer models in more muted colors. For example, ceiling constructions with green shades will help to create a peaceful and calm atmosphere in the bedroom that contributes to relaxation.
The photo shows the original hanging chandelier in combination with bedside sconces in the bedroom interior.
The most suitable option for a recreation area are light sources with incandescent lamps. From them comes a warm and cozy glow that gives the room maximum comfort. However, such bulbs become very hot during operation, which can lead to deformation of the fabric or plastic lampshade.
Modern interiors are often complemented by luminaires with LED lamps, which operate using the control panel. A chandelier with a dimmer provides a comfortable adjustment of the brightness of the light flux.
Nuances for a small bedroom
In the interior of the bedroom is small in size, it is not recommended to install low-hanging and massive ceiling lights. These products visually hide the area of the room, making it cramped and loaded.
It is possible to bring visual space and lightness to the room due to the device with shades of frosted or transparent glass. Such models create diffused lighting and differ in almost weightless appearance.
For a small bedroom, it’s right to pick up a flat chandelier, as close as possible pressed to the ceiling plane.
The photo shows the design of a small bedroom with a ceiling decorated with a flat chandelier.
In the middle of the bedroom
A luminaire with a similar arrangement is the only aesthetic detail and the central point of the ceiling plane. The chandelier in the middle of the bedroom is a very stylish and rational solution, which is suitable for a room with any arrangement of furniture. The symmetrically installed light source can be easily supplemented with bedside sconces or floor lamps to create zonal lighting.
In the photo there is a glass chandelier located in the middle of the ceiling in the bedroom interior.
Chandelier over the bed
The lighting fixture is selected taking into account the size of the bed, the larger the berth, the more massive the ceiling lamp should be. The overall bed can also be decorated with symmetrical pendant lamps on both sides. However, this arrangement is not suitable for all bedrooms, as due to the displacement of the center, the space visually becomes smaller.
An interesting fact is that according to Feng Shui philosophy and safety regulations, it is not advisable to hang a chandelier over a bed.

Provence style chandelier for bedroom
It uses original antique models made from natural materials, decorated with decorative elements and airy floral painting. Devices are made in delicate colors and often have textile lampshades with lace or fringe.
Cozy and elegant designs in pastel colors harmoniously fit into the bright bedroom of a girl or a young married couple and create soft lighting in the room.
The photo shows a ceiling lamp with textile shades in a Provencal style bedroom.
As the material from which the shades are made, plastic, natural porcelain, glass and sometimes metal are also found. Designs are fixed to the ceiling using adjustable chains or cords. Wooden or forged metal frame of the chandelier basically has a rough look and can be decorated with numerous light bulbs, candles.
Chandelier in the bedroom in a classic interior
For a classic bedroom, chandeliers are suitable, which are complex metal, glass or crystal structures with lamps in the form of candles. Devices differ in bronze, copper, silver or antique gold frames.
Such lamps are hung on long decorative chains, so a similar option would be more appropriate for a room with high ceilings. For the decoration of chandeliers, different crystal pendants, beautiful metal curls, patterned glass or ceramic sockets are used. Due to such ceiling models, a romantic atmosphere is formed in the bedroom, bearing the spirit of antiquity.
In the photo there is a classic-style bedroom with a small chandelier made of crystal.
Modern style chandelier for the bedroom
The ultramodern interior welcomes design designs without a significant foundation. The frame is often replaced by wires with suspended shades and decorative reflectors that have a geometric shape. These ceiling models look easy and do not overload the space. A fashionable solution is a flexible spider chandelier, which, due to the correctly selected length and diameter of the arrangement of cords, can decorate even a small bedroom.
The loft bedroom has a rough finish in the form of brickwork, plaster, aged wood or concrete. Therefore, many people believe that such an environment needs to be supplemented with an appropriate lamp, which is laconic. However, a luxurious multi-tiered crystal construction can ideally fit into the loft space, which will further emphasize the industrial design.
In the photo there is a round laconic lamp in the interior of the bedroom in the style of minimalism.
High-tech luminaires combine simplicity, minimalism, clear or smooth lines. The relaxation room, decorated with such a stylish chandelier, takes on an individual, self-sufficient and slightly austere look.
For the manufacture of modern chandeliers, it is appropriate to use chrome glass, plastic in muted black, gray and white colors, steel or metal. Lamps always have high strength, practicality and unique design.
Design ideas
With a low ceiling, in a bedroom it is better to install appliances with shades facing up. Thus, the ceiling plane will visually look higher. An equally advantageous solution is a flat lamp without unnecessary decorative elements or a strict elongated structure with a mirror effect.
In the photo there is a bedroom in a country house with a wicker chandelier on the ceiling.
The design of the bedroom in the country mainly involves decoration in the form of lining, boards or other simple coatings. Therefore, for such a room, we choose wooden, wrought iron or combined chandeliers. Models made in antique style, lamps in a hunting or village style, as well as laconic designs made of natural materials will organically fit into the country setting.
Features
The bedroom is the most intimate room of the house. The selection of lighting in this room should be approached with all seriousness.
Despite the fact that it is necessary to create a sufficiently bright light, it should not unnecessarily dazzle and bring down a calm relaxing atmosphere.
The main distinguishing feature of bedroom chandeliers is the need to match the owner’s inner world, in other words, the chandelier in the bedroom should be like. If this is not so, neither the ideal stylistic composition, nor the color will save the situation, and it will be difficult to relax in such a room.
The chandelier should be combined with the style and decor of the room. If the bedroom is made in the style of "Provence", it is definitely not worth buying a modern "high-tech" model. Decide on whether the chandelier will act as a main accent or whether it will serve as a delicate addition.
If there are other lights in the room, try to choose a ceiling model so that it matches with them. It looks harmonious and beautiful regardless of the room, however, for the bedroom, such harmony is most important.
It’s also important to choose a chandelier, equipped with a dimmer. The ability to adjust the brightness is extremely important for bedroom interiors. Recently, the need to recognize the presence of an additional switch next to the bed so that you do not have to get out of bed.
Options for bedrooms are often equipped with a light switch. Most of the time, white may burn, and when it is time to go to sleep, just turn on the blue light and a small bedside lamp. So under the influence of properly selected lighting, the body gradually relaxes, passing into a sleepy state.
Pay attention to the material. A suitable chandelier for the bedroom should not be made of toxic substances, since a person spends a third of the day here, and health damage will be irreparable. There are no more restrictions for the bedroom, you can buy a lamp from plastic, fabric, and crystal.
You should not choose bright models, it is best to limit yourself to a muted color palette.
A chandelier should not distract from sleep, on the contrary, its task is to contribute to a good rest.
There are quite a few varieties of chandeliers on the modern market. Ceiling lights are built-in, overhead and pendant.
Hanging models are the most popular.especially for bedrooms with high ceilings. Hanging models open up a wide selection of different designs: these can be single fabric lampshades or original bundles of shades.
Do not associate overhead models with hospitals and schools. Modern versions with the euro frame are no worse than the suspended ones to cope with the decorative role, while taking up less space and are even suitable for installation on low ceilings.
It can also be attributed to crystal chandeliers with many pendants, often chosen for bedrooms due to its solemnity and frequent inappropriateness in other rooms. They, like pendant lights, require high ceilings, as the crystal bulky model will attract attention and "eat" the surrounding space both up and in breadth.
For bedrooms choose overhead chandeliers - bush, occupying much less space. Bush refers to overhead models, but they are made much larger in diameter, because of which they look appropriate only on the ceiling of a spacious room.
Recessed ceiling lighting is used in cases where creating sufficient lighting with a chandelier alone does not work.
Depending on the atmosphere you need, a lamp is also selected.
The air forged model with fabric shades fits perfectly into the classic interior, and the unusual fan chandelier - into the industrial one.
Please note that chandeliers are used for more classic styles. with an odd number of lamps: three-arm, five-arm, and so on. For modern stylists, it is customary to choose even numbers: two-lamp, four-horned, six-armed.
Actual styles
Bedrooms are furnished in many different styles, and choosing a few of them is quite difficult. The rooms are in fashion and in classical style, willow baroque, and modern. It is worthwhile to dwell a little more on each of the following:
- For bedrooms baroque choose pompous large designs with many exquisite details. These include crystal lamps and bush chandeliers. It is advisable to choose iridescent coatings with gilding, they emphasize the grandeur of the entire interior.
- Chandelier in classic style It is represented by a suspended multi-track design with fabric shades decorated with fringe or piping. The number of shades depends on the size of the bedroom: only three are enough for small rooms, and seven-arm designs are often chosen for impressive rooms.
- Modern style bedroom "loft" Requires the installation of an unusual chandelier. This may be an interesting “spider” design that allows you to illuminate the largest space, or a bunch of several Edison bulbs suspended without using shades.For long narrow bedrooms, it is appropriate to use track chandeliers.
- For style Provence chandeliers are selected that are similar in design to classic, but absolutely different in terms of colors. It is necessary to choose a light floral pattern for shades, and white or cream color for the base.
- For style bedroom minimalism You can choose a single lampshade made of fabric or a matte glass shade. Distinctive features are the lack of patterns, geometric accuracy of forms, the choice of colors in the black and white spectrum. The bases should be made of wood or a single cord, in the second case it is worth making the cord as inconspicuous as possible.
- For scandinavian Minimalistic chandeliers are suitable for the style, however, it is best to give preference to forged models with imitation of candles instead of light bulbs. It is desirable to complement this design with crystal pendant drops to deepen the dramatic effect. An alternative is to choose a simple rattan wicker lampshade. It is suitable if the bedroom has a rather small area.
Popular colors
Fashion is favorable to the use of almost all colors, so when choosing, one must proceed from the features of the bedroom. First of all, the chandelier for the bedroom does not have to be very bright, it is best to give preference to neutral muted tones.
The most popular are white chandeliers.
This is largely due to the fact that they can be matched to any interior, from baroque to high-tech. An additional advantage of white is its ability to add airiness, lightness and height to the room: if the ceiling of the bedroom is not high enough, a white ceiling lamp is the best choice.
Among other colors, it is worth highlighting:
- Transparent glass shades are often found along with white ones, since they are just as suitable for any room depending on the shape and color of the base. They combine perfectly with metallized bases (silver, bronze, gilded), and with colored ones (black, white, bright).
- Lilac tones have a calming effect on the nervous system, set up a person for a good rest and deep calm sleep. It is best to choose lilac shades on a silver base. This combination makes a fascinating impression.
- The same soothing effect gives a green chandelier. If you complement it with white floral motifs, you get the perfect lighting device for an eco-friendly interior. It is not necessary to choose a pure green color, pistachio is suitable for a bedroom much better.
- Purple chandelier looks unusual and often acts as a color accent. Violet color is mainly used in combined study rooms, as it stimulates the brain.
- A black chandelier is a pretty daring choice. Basically, black is chosen as the main color in men's bedrooms of the "loft" style. You can choose a black lampshade, just pick up a bright light bulb. A transparent crystal chandelier in a black fabric cylinder looks unusual.
Materials
Chandeliers for bedrooms are made of various materials, including natural and artificial. Materials are divided into those from which the bases are made and those from which the shades are made.
For bases, metal is most often chosen. Aluminum is used to produce inexpensive typical foundations of various shapes. Thanks to its lightness, aluminum chandeliers can even be attached to suspended ceilings.
Wrought iron models are often made by hand and have an extremely high cost.
Prices stay at the same level for designer factory lights. Their main advantages include longevity and prestige, but such options often weigh an incredible amount. Various dusting are used: bronze, brass, gilding.
Chandeliers on a wooden base are used in some styles: Classical, Provence, Country. Usually these are hanging ornate models on a carved frame. They are made from traditional valuable species of wood (walnut, cherry) and from exotic (cork, wenge).
Plafonds are made of fabric of different density and light transmission, frosted and transparent glass, crystal, wood, plastic. Depending on the style of the room, as well as on the type of lighting that needs to be created, the material is selected. Some materials (plastic, wood, many types of fabric lampshades) cannot be used to frame high-power lamps, as they can melt or ignite. Be sure to check this when buying.
The most popular are glass shades. They blend well with any base material, transmit and diffuse colors well, and have a wide color palette. On glass, you can easily apply patterns: lines, bubbles, flowers.
Manufacturers Overview
European manufacturers with a long history, recognized around the world, are the most trusted. These include representatives of many countries: Germany, Spain, Italy, Czech Republic and many others:
- The Czech Republic has been producing crystal since the 18th century, and so far, quality and sophisticated design have only pleased the customer. The country's industry is mainly aimed at the production of elite models.
- German chandeliers are slightly inferior to Czech ones in refinement, but not in quality. You can find both democratic models and exclusive luxury models.
- Spain offers bold design solutions that distinguish chandeliers from this country from other European models. Prices also range from affordable to fabulously high.
- Italy is the world leader in the production of the most fashionable designs, it can be said that Italian craftsmen set the tone for the entire industry. The most expensive chandeliers are attributed specifically to Italian.
- Along with Europe, Turkey’s chandeliers are among the leaders. They are of good quality, but the price is much lower. A large selection of designer models allows you to find something for every taste.
- Chinese chandeliers are almost crowded out of the market, as their only plus is low cost. You should not buy such models, especially for a bedroom. Often they did not undergo the necessary certification.
- Russia, alas, is far behind Europe in quality, but not in price: the cost of Russian products is slightly lower than foreign ones. The scarcity of choice of various fashion models is frustrating.
Which one to choose?
To choose the right chandelier for the bedroom, you need to focus on the features of the room itself:
- For a small bedroom with a low ceiling, a multi-track overhead chandelier is the best choice. It does not take up much space and perfectly illuminates the entire area of the room, so the installation of additional lamps is not needed.
- In the living room bedroom It is recommended to choose a pompous majestic model. Since it is planned to receive guests in the room, it is necessary to show them a decent atmosphere. It is best to choose a suspended ceiling lamp: it almost always looks solemn. An interesting option will be a crystal multi-tiered design, if ceiling height and room style permit.
- For multi-tier drywall ceilings you need to choose not so much a bright chandelier as a suitable for the whole interior. The lack of lighting can be easily compensated by adding sconces, spotlights or LED lighting. Please note that heavy constructions are not suitable for plasterboard ceilings: there is a risk that such a chandelier will collapse with the ceilings.
For more information on how to choose a chandelier for the bedroom, see the next video.
Where should it be?
The classic location of the chandelier is in the center of the room, however, it is appropriate to place it right above the foot of the bedroom. If the chandelier is bright enough, you may not need a reading lamp.
If several chandeliers are selected, it can be suspended from symmetrically opposite each other.
