What creative chandeliers are there?

There are so many odd-shaped creative chandeliers on the market. What space and style are they suitable for, where can they buy them, and how should they be hung? ! The full guide is below.

Let me tell you a few industry secrets about chandeliers, from " Design Guidelines ", don't ask why, this is witchcraft.

1. The diameter of the chandelier is preferably half the width of the dining table (the diameter of the chandelier is 56-61 cm for a table with a width of 1.2 meters);

2. Add the length and width of the room in decimeters, which is exactly the number of centimeters of the chandelier ( For a room of 3X3.6 meters, you can choose a chandelier with a diameter of 30+36=66 cm);
3. Taking the desktop as a reference, the chandelier is most suitable for a distance of 76cm~91cm
from the desktop; 

4. The color of the metal accessories of the chandelier and the color of the hardware accessories of the door Be as consistent as possible;

5. Regarding the overall lighting system arrangement

1. White ball chandelier

The first to introduce is the most innocent lamp.

Especially for those with low floor heights, poor lighting, and dark floors, they should not think about hanging crystal lamps or American metal style, and they will get rid of it if they are not careful.

Only the white ball lamp is your best destination, which is suitable for almost all spaces such as living room, dining room, bedroom and so on.

For example, are the floors of many people's homes dark red like the picture below?

If you build a dark large iron lamp on the reddish floor, you will simply dig a hole and bury yourself with an extra layer of soil.

In this case, only the white ball lamp with no sense of existence can completely unlock the upper space of the room.

White ball lamps are widely used, and there are also master works. For example , there is a white ball in the AKARI series lamps that the sculptor Isamu Noguchi is most proud of.

Akari has three meanings in Japanese: light, lamp and light, hope.

Btw, there are more than 300 models in this series, which are works of art that ordinary people can afford.

2. Factory chandelier

It looks similar to the previous factory lights, and it is also a very common type of chandelier, with various shapes and colors.

Great for dining rooms, worktops in open kitchens, or over bars (if your family loves stir fry, leave it out).

The above are all very common retro factory lights, especially 3, 4, and 5 are the most popular.

You can't go wrong with black or white.

This kind of lamp has its own industrial flavor , even if the whole house is made of the same wooden furniture, changing only the chandelier, the temperament is completely different.

This is an old warehouse renovated by an old French couple for eight years. This is their kitchen console, and the lights seem to exist.

If you don't want such an industrial temperament , you can choose the PH5 produced by Louis Palson. This lamp has a clever design, and the light will not shine directly, without glare, but evenly scattered around.

Some people likened it to "Nordic dusk".

The "5" in PH5 represents a diameter of 1250px.

This lamp was first released in 1958. It innovatively allows the chandelier to be lowered very close to the table top.

His designer Paul Henningsen has a set of lighting theory, and based on this, he designed the entire PH series of lamps.

PH 3½–3 Copper

The brass commemorative edition that Louis Paulson issued to commemorate the 120th anniversary of the master's birth is beautiful.

3. Wooden fan chandelier

A main lamp with fan blades in the living room can save you a lot of electricity bills a year.

Especially in the Huangmeitian night in the south where even free shipping can't relieve chest tightness, when you gently turn on the fan and every hair is dancing in the flowing air, you will know how cool it is.

The key is that the wooden fan lights are also good looking, and the basic and common American, Japanese, Nordic and other messy winds are not inconsistent.

When choosing this type of fan light, the simpler the style, the better, and the one with carved tassel is even better than Guo Jingming.

One trick is that if your coffee table is also a wooden table top, the color of the fan blades of the fan lamp is the same as the color of the coffee table, which will be very high-end.

The fan light must be simpler to look better

4. Transparent glass chandelier

The clear glass chandelier is something that is even less present than the white ball chandelier.

But use it in a restaurant, especially! do not! foreign! gas!

This transparent round chandelier deduces what is called "bright lights", and it sells very neatly.

Another variant is a colored or translucent hemisphere.

Such as Kartell's ICON products, F/Ly transparent chandeliers.

Kartell's chandelier is actually not glass, but a polymer material with better light transmittance than glass.

Available in a variety of transparent colors, it is one of the few designer products in the world that is functional, stylish and not too expensive.

You can get one for more than 1,000 RMB during the discount season.

Green is also the most popular one

This kind of transparent or translucent chandelier, suspended on the wooden table, and matched with a set of white porcelain or crystal tableware, it is really a vivid color and fragrance.

5. Reflective material chandelier

The key point is to use various reflective materials for decorations in the home, and conspicuous things like lamps are the most important.

The reflective materials used in lamps, the first is white ceramics, the second is brass, stainless steel and other metals.

Or the chandelier of F/Ly, with Ghost Chair like suspension

Nowadays, the dining area of ​​small apartments is basically huddled in the corner of the living room. In this case, acrylic dining chairs are especially recommended. Definitely amplifies the sense of space.

Look, it's another F/Ly pendant lamp with an acrylic ghost chair

Another trendy reflective chandelier is the brass chandelier. The Gospel of the Little Black Room, if you give it a light, it will turn on, and if you do not turn on the light, it will be like turning on the light.

A good example of this type of lamp is Tom Dixon's brass bowl

In addition to the dining room, hang a bell-shaped brass chandelier on the bedside, and immediately feel that you are at least 3.7 light-years away from mortals.

But if you have a cat at home, it will swing on it every day and hit you in the face and face.

6. Metal frame chandelier

Metal frame pendant lamps , available in two varieties.

The first is an iron cage chandelier with a metal wire frame wrapping the bulb, and the second is that the metal frame itself has an embedded light source that will emit light.

Let’s talk about the second kind, which is rare on the market. I can’t afford it anyway. Let’s take a look first.

For example, this series of BEC BRITTAIN looks like a match stick. Don't ask me how much, the zeros after the price are not counted.

Now looking back to the first one that we mortals are worth buying, the cage chandelier .

The point of choosing this type of chandelier is that the thinner the metal frame on the outside, the better.

If it is a large frame, it is suitable for hanging in the living room. There are two common styles: round and diamond.

 

Besides the black frame, the brass/gold is also beautiful.

Small cage chandeliers are widely used.

It can be hung in small corners such as kitchen, dining room, reading corner and so on.

This metal frame lamp can also be used for wall lamps in balconies and aisles.

7. Multi-head chandelier

Unless your area and floor height are very capricious, it is actually not recommended to use a multi-head chandelier.

Especially in the bedroom, many Feng Shui masters have said that the bedroom should not hang crystal chandeliers . This is obviously the basic knowledge of safety, okay? No one can stand the sharp glass crystal lamp on the bed, okay?

If you don't like this kind of multi-head lamp, it is recommended to choose the flat type, and abandon those Friede-style and Regency-style chandeliers!

That is, try not to extend the vertical length of the branches, but to open them horizontally , such as the chandelier with horizontal slits designed by Lindsey Adelman.

The living room and bedroom try to choose this kind of flat multi-head chandelier, with one exception, the dining room.

The chandelier in the restaurant hangs directly above the dining table, so that it will not hit people. The closer the second light is to the food, the better the color of the food and the higher the happiness of eating.

For example, another vertical extension chandelier by Lindsey Adelman is very suitable for restaurants

If the F/Ly chandelier is a school beauty level that is beautiful but you can still catch up with, Lindsey Adelman's lamp is a peerless beauty level that is beautiful but can only be imagined.

Especially the lamp below, such as Nanshan plum blossoms, as early as blooming begonias, such as newly peeled chicken head rice ... just can't afford it.

just look... ok

This digital-analog style chandelier is an ICON product from that period.

8. Cement material chandelier

Cement chandeliers are relatively niche, but individual brands are really beautiful.

Such as jakub velinsky's light bulb chandelier.

jakub velinsky features accessories that are made of concrete

The main point of choosing a chandelier made of cement material is that the first part of the cement should be small, and it is not to be bought to build a house; the second is to match the colored light lines.

The biggest is the small bell shape below, in order to add simple and cute attributes.

Piracy and copycats are discouraged, and it's okay to find some alternatives in the same style.
