A lot of people would like to add a little something into different parts of their rooms just to make it look more beautiful or more appealing to the eyes. One way that you can add a definite elegance into any room is by putting a chandelier in it. Adding a chandelier to a room can really add beauty to it, just as long as it is the right chandelier for the room, and if it is placed on the right spot to make full use of its beauty.

One room that can definitely benefit from the added appeal of chandeliers is the dining room, where people spend a majority of their time eating in. With the right chandelier, it can definitely make the room sparkle a bit brighter and make it more beautiful. However, there are certain factors that need to be considered in order for the room to take full advantage of the chandelier.

One factor that must be taken into consideration is the size of the room. You should always remember that the larger the room, the larger your chandelier should be. Take the sizes of the chandelier and the room, and make sure that they are both in proper proportion to each other. Placing a very large chandelier can make a small room appear very crowded, while a very small chandelier can become isolated from the whole room if the room is quite large. Make sure that you choose the chandelier that will best fit your dining room in order to maintain a balance between the room and the fixture.

Another factor to consider is the proportion of the table to the fixture that you are intending of buying. The size of your chandelier should not be within inches of the dinner plates on the table, so the table should be twice as wide as the chandelier that hangs above it in order to attain such measurements.

Once the size of the chandelier has been set, it is now time to think about the lighting requirements for the dining room. You want a chandelier that is bright enough so people can see the whole room, but not bright enough to the point that it can blind people. Your dining room should be able to set the mood for the occasion that you may need it for, so installing dimmers can be a great thing to do. It allows you to dim the lights when you want to set a romantic mood to your dinner, and set the lights bright when you are having a party with a lot of guests. The dimmers allow you to give the room the sufficient light coverage it needs for the occasion. Just make sure that you do not sacrifice your chandeliers functionality for aesthetic reasons.

Most importantly, choose a chandelier that would best compliment the dining room. There are a lot of different types and kinds of chandeliers that are available for you, so make sure that you take the time to look at each one in order for you to make the best choice for your dining room.

Chandelier Earrings are the hottest accessory this year and they are here to stay. At EarringsETC.com we only sell handmade earrings in a technique called Mompox Filigree. We use Sterling silver on all of our earrings because it is easy to work with when making filigreed chandelier earrings.  Most people do not know that sterling silver is also too delicate of a material that needs to be care for on a regular basis. Because of its chemical nature, sterling silver tarnishes over time. Perspiration from humans and contact with other elements can accelerate this process.

How to clean your Filigreed Chandelier Earrings

Your piece of jewelry can be clean in several ways using a delicate brush:

- Hot water with salt and lemon

- Hot water and baking soda

- Hot water and detergent (with no bleach)

- Brush it with toothpaste

- Jewelry and glass cleaner

Whatever the method of cleaning you choose for your chandelier earrings, follow it by rinsing with clean water and completely dry your filigree with a hair drier or exposing it to the sun. Remember to maintain your silver jewelry away from other silver jewelry preferably on a pouch. When wearing your filigreed chandelier earrings please keep contact with perfumes, lotions, oils, make up and other chemical substances at a minimum or clean your filigreed chandelier earrings on a regular basis

Jacques Habra asked:


Chandeliers serve to both brighten and decorate any room with a class and elegance that is difficult to match with other types of lighting. Choosing the perfect type of functional and decorative iron lighting remains as important to the home as any other aspect of decoration, and that any type of light fixings, particularly chandeliers, should be added with the same care as other artworks. When hung properly and chosen carefully a chandelier can certainly add value to a home. With so many styles of chandeliers available, it is important to make some early on decisions on what you want your chandelier to do for the room in which you are placing it. One of the first things you should consider is the manufacturer in which you are going to purchase your chandelier. The look of wrought iron chandeliers cannot be beat as it adds unlimited style and sophistication to your home, at a fraction of the cost of crystal or many other chandelier materials. Additionally, wrought iron lasts must longer, making your investment in the product a lasting, versus the short shelf life of many other chandelier materials.

Putting it in perspective

A chandelier should bring out the room in which it is placed in without distracting from the rest of the design. If you are designing a simple room, choosing an elaborate or ornate chandelier may cause it to look out of place or too predominant in the design. On the other hand, in a richly colored and heavily decorated room, a stark circular hanging may both over light the room and overpower it, coming off bleak instead of homey. If hanging in a dining room, measure the table —generally the chandelier should be twelve inches shorter than the table’s width. The proportions of the room to the chandelier can be another crucial decision. Measure both the room and any potential chandeliers to make sure that the chandelier will fit without either getting lost or engulfing your entire room. Remember that while the hanging height of your chandelier will be based mostly on the height of your room, but you will want to hang the chandelier at least eight feet high at the lowest, if possible.

Watts the problem

The strength, measured in watts, of the bulbs for your chandelier are also a consideration. Sixty watts is the normal strength for chandeliers with one or two sockets. A chandelier with more than three should use forty-watt bulbs, with these in place, should light the room without overpowering it. It may also be worth having a dimmer switch installed, which will give you more control over how much light your chandelier gives the room. This can be perfect for evening candlelit dinner parties when you want just a little extra light, but not at the expense of your candles.

Julia Ritzenthaler asked:


Chandeliers are available in various styles (including bohemia and modernistic), colors, forms and sizes. You can choose from bronze, metal, crystal, glass, ceramic, gold and more. Your first consideration, however, should be determining the appropriate sized lighting fixture to use.

There is an easy way to determine how tall your chandelier should be. A popular trick used by interior designers is to measure the height of the room and allow 2 1/2 to 3 inches for each foot of height. So, if your room has a 9-foot tall ceiling, you would want a lighting fixture that is about 22 1/2 to 27 inches tall. When you have extremely tall ceilings, you can add a couple of inches to the height of the chandelier. Consequently, if you have a very low ceiling, you’ll need to get a fixture that’s a couple of inches smaller.

The overall size of the room also has a big impact on the size of the lighting fixture. Choosing one that’s too large can make the room look crowded, and one that’s too small will come across as inconsequential. The chandelier needs to be proportionate to the room size. Size also depends on where the chandelier will hang.

Dining Room

The chandelier should hang approximately 30 inches from the table surface and should be about 12 inches narrower than the width of the table it’s hanging over. When you put this type of light fixture over a small dining room table, hang it over the exact center of the table.

If you have a very long dining room table, choose two smaller chandeliers and center them over each end of the table. To do this, you’ll first need to measure the length of the table. Write down the length and divide it by three. We can use a 9-foot long table for an easy example. It can be divided into three sections of 3 feet each. You’ll start at one end of the table and measure 3 feet and then center one of the fixtures on the ceiling over that mark. Measure another 3 feet down the table and do the same thing with the second fixture. This will give your dining room a very pleasing look. Putting only one over an extremely long table can diminish its effect and cause the entire room to seem off kilter.

Other Rooms

Choosing the right chandelier for rooms other than the dining room is tricky, as you don’t have a table to help with measurements. You’ll have to rely on room measurements alone to determine the proper size for the lighting fixture.

A simple way to determine what size you need is to measure the length and width of the room and add those measurements together. You’ll then need to convert that total amount to inches. The resulting figure is the size of the chandelier you should purchase. For example, if your room is 10 feet by 7 feet, you would add that together to get 17 feet. You would convert this to inches and purchase a fixture that is 17 inches in diameter.

The chandelier should be centered in the room and be at least 7 feet from the floor. This will keep you and any of your guests from banging into it.

If you feel overwhelmed or just don’t want to be bothered by figuring all of this out, you can bring in a lighting designer. They have all of the necessary knowledge to determine the appropriate size and can help you choose a style and color that suits both you and the other decor in your home. When you put a chandelier in a room that doesn’t already have a ceiling light fixture, you’ll need to bring in an electrician to make sure that the wiring is properly done.

I have 24 foot high ceilings and I have been shopping for chandeliers. They all appear to be able to drop down 40 inches but I need something that will come down a long ways. Can I buy accessories to extend the electrical cord (chains etc)? Is there a website that specializes in these types of applications?
