Tips and DIY Guides from LampClick.com
-
1) The right fixture will not make the space look cluttered or detract from other design aspects of the room. Remember, continuity is inherently a part of modern design.
2) Use lighting to draw attention to focal points such as a lounge area or a mini bar.
3) Choose a light fixture with functionality in mind. In contemporary design for a home or office, form follows function.
Choosing the right Pendant lights or Chandeliers for a hallway or foyer area in a homeThe first thing a designer or homeowner should do is determine the type of hall or foyer light fixture to be used, as a rule of thumb the bottom of the light fixture should be at least 7 feet from the floor. Based on this determination you will decide to purchase a flush / semi-flush ceiling light, or if you have a high ceiling, a mini pendant light fixture or multi-tiered chandelier. If you have determined that you can use chandeliers or pendants use the following guidelines to determine the size that is suitable for the home; Add the length and width dimensions of the foyer or hall area together and convert the total into inches. For example: The area is 14 feet by 12 feet. Added together this equals 26 feet.The next step would be to convert the number above to inches. So, for the example given, the diameter would be 26 inches. If you have a foyer with a staircase, you may want to install the hanging fixture so that guests walking in can see it from the outside. Note: Wall Sconces should be installed 60 inches from the floor and 6 - 8 feet apart. You might want to consider a Canlde wall Sconce or a Wrought Iron Wall Sconce to better match a traditional chandelier. Since a standard ceiling outlet box will only hold a maximum of 50lbs., some large chandeliers and foyer pendant lights might require special mounting hardware. Sizing a Chandeliers over a tableChoosing the right size can be of utmost importance. It can make the difference between a room with a sleek design or a cluttered looking room where everything seems to have been thrown together thoughtlessly. When selecting the right chandelier, you can use the same guideline above for a room. You can also measure the width of the table and use three-quarters of that width as the chandelier width. It should also hang about 2 ˝ feet from the surface of the table. |
