1. Size

The size of the chandelier you choose is very important because if you choose the wrong size it may not fit properly and or it may appear overwhelming. You also need to consider the right size to ensure the right lighting.

There's a neat formula for determining the size of your chandelier. Start by measuring the size of your room then add these two numbers together to find out what the width of your chandelier should be. So let's say your room is 10x12 then you should add 10+12=22 which means your chandelier's ideal width is 22 inches.

You also need to determine what height is best suited for your room. If your ceilings are quite low you should look at chandeliers that are a little smaller around 24 to 28 inches tall. If you have nice high ceilings then consider going big! Look at chandeliers that are over 32 inches tall.

2. Lighting

Just as with all light fixtures there are many different types of lighting to choose from so you'll want to decide what type of light it is you want.

If you want ambient lighting you'll want to choose the largest chandelier that is appropriate for the room with the most available lights. If you are looking for accent lighting look for a chandelier that has down lights or spot lights that will have focus on the item or area you are looking to accent. Diffused lighting is popular because it is much softer and less harsh than traditional lights. If you prefer diffused lighting look for a chandelier that has lights that face up, or a chandelier that has shades which will help filter the light.

3. Style

They say style is everything when it comes to your fashion wardrobe and the same applies when it comes to the fashion of your home....
