Buck Norris sings Crystal Chandeliers by Charley Pride. With 36 number one hits under his belt, Charley Pride, who is black, has helped prove how little race matters to the majority of country music fans. It's taken a long time to understand that, though. His first single, "Snakes Crawl at Night," was released without publicity photos, as some in the industry feared listeners would automatically reject a black country singer. Since then, Pride's 12 gold albums in the United States, combined …

rs are ubiquitous in that they can be found in practically all homes - at least in the ones that are elegant - in the United States and elsewhere.

Having had its roots in the Medieval period, the earliest known chandeliers took the shape of crosses with spikes on which candles could be securely placed. During that time, the presence of chandeliers could only be found in places of assembly. How times have changed.

Today, the chandeliers are more intricate in design and has found their way into private homes, specifically in dining rooms. But what makes chandeliers in style? They are popular because no other furnishing can command as much attention.

How To Choose The Right Chandelier

If you’re thinking of buying a chandelier, the criteria for choosing the best one is actually NOT based on your personal taste, but rather in (a) the size of your table and (b) on how much illumination your dining room needs.

The typical feature across all light bulbs is that they have multiple bulbs that shed off a great deal of brightness. But how much light does your dining room need? Measure the size of your room. Multiply the length of the room by the width, then you multiply the result with by 1.5. So if the size of your room is 12 feet by 15 feet, the formula would look this way: 12 x 15 x 1.5. If you do the math, you will find that you need a total of 270 watts. The chandelier that will provide enough illumination is the one with 6-40 watt bulbs. To provide the best lighting, you should coordinate the chandelier with other light fixtures, wall sconces or buffet lamps.

A chandelier’s diameter should not exceed to around 1/2 of the width of your dining table. It should be suspended from 27 to 30 inches above. Certainly, the number of light bulbs on the chandelier shouldn’t be your only consideration when buying one. You should keep in mind the chandelier’s design, its size and, of course, your finances.

Installing Your Chandelier

So, now you’ve bought a chandelier. What you need to do now is have your chandelier installed. Handle with care when installing your chandelier as they are elaborately designed.

- Check the weight. You surely don’t want your newly-bought chandelier to fall off upon installation. Should your chandelier be heavier than you existing lighting, you may need to replace the ceiling’s junction box.

- This is practically common sense, but you need to disconnect the power connecting to your chandelier when you are in the process of installing it.

- Take out the old lighting and take note of how your previous lighting was installed. Replace the old lighting with your new chandelier.

Be sure you have a mounting strap in place from your ceiling. Attach your chandelier’s hardware to the mounting strap. ***** the mounting strap to the junction box.

- Connect the wires of your chandelier to that of your ceiling.

“A fine chandelier is an investment that will add to the value of your home.”

How To Choose The Right Size And Lighting Power Of A Murano Chandelier

Your Murano chandelier must be the most decorative element in your room. It is designed to float in a room as an important part of the décor. Too large and this fixture will overpower the space. Too small, and it will look out of place.

The following is a guideline for you to follow when deciding how to hang your Murano chandelier:

-80″ from the floor to the end of the chandelier would be a standard rule of thumb unless the chandelier is being hung over a table. In this case, the space can be reduced.

-To have an idea of how large your chandelier has to be, this formula is the right one: In a square room: one wall (feet) x 2.2 = width of chandelier; In a rectangular room, these formulas are for the shorter wall, but if one wall is twice the size of the other, we suggest to use two identical chandeliers.

-Wattage you can use bulbs from 15 to 60 watts depending upon how bright you want the area to be lit; also, with larger chandeliers, it would be a good idea to use a double switch or dimmer.

How To Shop For A Murano Chandelier

Both fashionable and functional chandeliers should be incorporated with the home décor just as any decorative art object.

To find the right color, begin with a color or material that is predominant in the decoration scheme of the room. Depending on the impact you may want to convey, for traditional styling you may want to consider an ornate, detailed chandelier. For a more modern style, you may want to opt for a less ornamental chandelier with a simpler design.

Visit several lighting showrooms prepared with a photo or sketch of the space you want to illuminate. It is important to also have the color palate of the space so that you will be able to find a chandelier that is complementary to these colors. When checking out your chandelier prior to your purchase, make certain to look at the quality and detail of the fixture.

Another important consideration is the weight of the chandelier. Those heavier than 50lbs have to be mounted more securely to the house’s structure.

The chandelier has been carefully assembled and hung. Perfect in every way, your Murano chandelier adds beauty and elegance to your living space. It provides the perfect accent to your décor. Your chandelier is not only functional, but a decorative work of art!
