Chandelier Lighting

Lighting your entryway or dining room is a particularly classy way to add elegance to your home without breaking the bank. A quick Google search provides potential customers with a plethora of companies promising quality merchandise and free shipping. Prices for these ceiling centerpieces range usually from around $75 to several hundred dollars. Of course, nothing can be as certain as selecting the lighting art in person, so it is recommended to use the Internet or a catalog to determine what you are looking for, and then go into a store like Sam's or Home Depot to pick it out with your own eyes and also utilize the help and trained eye of a store staffer.

Types of chandeliers are varied from a crystal chandelier which gives off a very classic and romantic light to beaded and shell chandeliers, metal chandeliers which are usually finished in brass, nickel and wrought iron, and for the avid outdoors-person, there are even antler chandeliers made from the antlers of a deer or elk. When choosing a chandelier for your home, most likely to be installed in your dining room, a few tips to remember are making sure your chandelier is at least 12 inches narrower in diameter than the table so guests do not bump their hands standing up. The chandelier should also be about half of the width of the dining table, and, particularly if you don't have very high ceilings, make sure the chandelier hangs about thirty inches above the table.
