To choose the perfect chandelier for the bedroom, you should be guided by a few rules and recommendations.

How to choose the right chandelier for your bedroom

1. The chandelier should be in harmony with the overall design of the room, with all its interior items and decorative elements. This is the basic rule that must be followed when choosing a chandelier for the bedroom. Its functionality comes second, but is also important.
2. The level of illumination depends on the size of the room. The chandelier should cover the whole room with light. Especially if the bedroom is equipped with a work area.
3. Of course, if it is not possible to cover the entire area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe room with light, poorly lit places should be equipped with additional lighting fixtures. They should be in harmony with the overall design of the room and the chandelier.
4. In the bedroom, it is better to choose a chandelier that will allow you to adjust the brightness and direction of the light. Plafonds that can be rotated in different directions will help illuminate a specific area of ​​​​the room. This is especially true when the bedroom is equipped with a work area. Such a chandelier will become not only convenient, but also an economical option, illuminating only the desired area. Dim lighting is suitable for relaxing, and bright lighting is suitable for work and reading.
5. Choosing a chandelier in the bedroom, it is important to pay special attention to the material from which it is made. It depends not only on the design of the room, but also on the type of light bulbs used. In order to decide which material will be the most suitable, you need to understand the types of light bulbs.

Types of lamps

1. Incandescent lamps. They are gradually leaving the market, giving way to more energy efficient light bulbs. Many people still prefer them because of their bright, warm glow. In addition, incandescent lamps are quite cheap. It is important to remember that incandescent lamps get very hot during operation.. Plastic chandeliers and synthetic decorative elements can melt when heated, releasing chemical toxic elements into the air.

2. Halogen lamps. They are bright and energy efficient. Currently, halogen lamps are rapidly gaining popularity, but their main disadvantage is a cold glow. Because of this, they are not used in the bedroom. But for use on the streets and in public places, they are ideal.
3. Fluorescent lamps. They are also bright and energy efficient. However, their glow is quite cold. For the same reason, they are rarely used in the bedroom. Using them, you can dilute the cold light with a lampshade of a warm shade.
4. LED light bulbs. They are energy efficient, inexpensive and have a variety of shades of glow. LED light bulbs are very convenient, but now they make few chandeliers for LED lamps.

The last three types of lamps do not heat up during operation. A chandelier made of any material, even plastic, is suitable for them.

6. Choosing a chandelier in the bedroom, it is important to pay attention to its power. To make the room as comfortable as possible, you need to choose a chandelier with a power reserve. So it will be possible to adjust the brightness of the lighting depending on the needs of the owners of the bedroom at a particular point in time.
7. Choosing a chandelier in the bedroom, you need to pay attention to the features of using each of its types. Ceiling and pendant chandeliers differ from each other in size and mounting methods.
8. Ceiling chandeliers are usually small and are attached directly to the ceiling. Their compactness has led to the popularity of such chandeliers in our market.
9. Suspended chandeliers are quite voluminous and are suspended from the ceiling. Due to their relatively large dimensions, they are often hung in rooms with high ceilings. In the bedroom, hanging chandeliers are rare. This is rather due to the fact that most apartments have low ceilings. If the height of the ceiling allows the use of a hanging chandelier, this can be used.

10. We must not forget that in the interior of a small bedroom you need to choose a small chandelier. Massive elements visually reduce the space.
11. The distance from the bottom of the chandelier to the floor should be large enough. It is highly undesirable that it be less than 2.4 m.
12. In addition to all of the above, it is important to think about the fact that the bedroom is a rather dusty room. In the bedroom it is better to choose a chandelier that will be easy to clean.

Tips for choosing a chandelier when zoning a bedroom

1. If a working area is allocated in the bedroom, obviously, it should be especially well lit. This is important because dim lighting can damage your eyesight. Bright illumination of a separate area of ​​the bedroom is easy to achieve with the help of adjustable chandelier shades, the light of which can be redirected. Additional lighting fixtures will also help.
2. The recreation area must necessarily have an additional source of light. Usually this is a small reading lamp, a floor lamp on a bedside table or a lamp above the bed. They must give spot lighting, especially if it's a bedroom for two. While one reads, the other sleeps peacefully on the other side of the bed.

The choice of chandelier design in the interior of the bedroom

1. Hanging chandeliers with imitation of candlesticks and candles are considered the most beautiful. They, of course, are more appropriate in a living room with a high ceiling, but they can also be entered into the bedroom interior. They are perfect for classic bedroom interiors, such as classic, English style, baroque or rococo. But you need to prepare for the fact that such chandeliers require careful and constant care due to the presence of many small elements.
2. Classic chandeliers are distinguished by massive bearing elements imitating cast bronze or cast iron. They will be appropriate in classic bedrooms decorated in a minimalist style. It is worth noting that such chandeliers can make the surrounding space heavier.
3. Chandeliers with crystal pendants are also characteristic of opulent interiors, large bedrooms and high ceilings. They require constant washing and quickly gather dust. In addition, they are quite expensive. Many people choose chandeliers with plastic pendants imitating crystal and glass. But even with constant care, such chandeliers will soon lose their original luxurious look.

4. In the interior of small bedrooms, it is worth giving preference to ceiling chandeliers, whose diversity will allow them to fit into a bedroom decorated in any style. Especially popular are Murano glass chandeliers, which fit snugly to the ceiling and do not require removal or disassembly when washing. They are easy enough to wipe.
5. For modern bedrooms, designers have developed many interesting models of modern chandeliers. Usually they consist of several large ceiling lamps of various geometric shapes: four large square ceiling lamps, two or three asymmetric ceiling lamps, multi-colored spherical ceiling lamps of various shapes and sizes. They are distinguished by the almost complete absence of any decor and are designed to become part of the room, not stand out from it.
6. Almost universal are ceiling chandeliers with twisted floral elements. They are suitable for almost any interior, especially if their design will echo in detail with the decor elements in the bedroom. Such lamps are especially appropriate in the interiors of bedrooms with a bias towards the naturalness and beauty of nature: eco-style, country and Provence.

7. Unfortunately, not always in the bedroom there is a place even for a small ceiling chandelier. In this case, small hidden ceiling lights can be used.

The location of the chandelier in the bedroom

1. The chandelier does not have to be in the center of the room. It is equally appropriate to hang a chandelier over the bed, shifting the center of the bedroom to the seating area. However, this is more suitable for a room with a high ceiling. Offsetting a chandelier can make a bedroom look smaller by making the walls look closer.
2. However, according to the rules of feng shui (and according to safety rules), nothing should hang over the head of a sleeping person.
3. A large bedroom can be lit with several identical chandeliers at once. Then they can be placed symmetrically in different corners of the room or against opposite walls.
