You need to consider several factors before buying a crystal chandelier. The first factor is the room where you want to install it. Generally, people place chandeliers in living rooms, bedrooms, halls or in dining rooms. So let's check some of the factors in brief detail. Room Type and Size Regarding type of the room, you can put a chandelier in any of the places mentioned. But you should keep in mind that wherever you put the chandelier it should have proper ventilation to keep away humidity as well as moisture. The lifetime and functionality of a chandelier is determined by these factors. Moreover, the environment of the room should comply with the designs parameters; otherwise, the chandelier will be damaged. Room Articulation A highly articulated room is not suitable for chandelier installation. You can opt for wall lamps instead or a smaller chandelier. Do not place chandeliers in halls with low ceilings. It is better to put flush mounts. Height of Ceiling A chain is fastened to chandeliers which generally has seven links with the total length being 30 to 50 cm. Moreover the distance between the floor and base of the chandelier is usually 2.1 to 2.2 meters. If your ceiling is not high enough then you can shorten the length of the chain but only one link. If that proves insufficient then you have to get a different crystal chandelier. Interior Décor and Accessories The chandelier that you choose should match the décor of the room which includes furniture, accessories, colour on the walls etc. If it doesn't match then your chandelier will look odd. Light Requirement Different people require different light intensity. The light requirement of older people is higher. A good way to deliver light intensity suitable for both young and old people is to have higher number of bulbs but with the option to decrease the same through double switch or dimmers. Some people use downlights in their homes as primary source of light. Even in this case, it is difficult ascertain directly as to how many LED downlights you need for adequate illumination of a space. Usually that depends on the size of the room and your personal preferences. A simple solution is that if you want to highlight one particular object then one will do but to light up an entire room adequately you will need many. It will depend on room size and the activity performed in a room. A kitchen will require more lighting than a living room
