Chandelier
A chandelier is a ceiling mounted light fixture. Chandeliers could have two or more arms bearing lights which would depend on the style of the chandelier itself. Chandeliers are made up of lamps and ornately shaped glass that creates an overall appeal. Chandeliers are hung in the middle of a room and the size of the chandelier chosen will greatly depend on the size of the room. A chandelier is meant to be a main focal point of a room so the size and shape of it will very depending on the statement one is trying to make. While the chandelier does emit light into a room, it could just be for show. Some chandeliers, due to their weight and size, will require special installation and a reinforced ceiling to make sure they do not fall.
Chandeliers make a great addition to any room by adding elegance and formality. Ballrooms, hotels, houses and other venues with large rooms will typically have chandeliers. In the event planning industry chandeliers can be brought in to create a certain look or feel. If you want a chandelier for an evening wedding in a tent, it can be hung from the top of the tent. Chandeliers range greatly in price due to the difference between the materials used, the complexity of the design and size. Chandeliers can be made of:
- crystal
- nickel
- bronze
- gold
- glass
They come in a wide array of styles from the very ultra modern and chic to the very antique and art deco style. Obviously there is a great difference in prices as well. The most important thing to decide however is which style will best suit the room in which the chandelier will be hung. You want to make sure that it fits the furniture and style of your event. If you are throwing a Marie Antoinette themed party, it would be a bad idea to choose a modern chandelier for your event- you should choose something that would actually fit within that time area. Chandeliers hang from the middle of the room so they become the main focal point of the room at least initially.
