By Daniel Desmond

Before you purchasing the right antique chandeliers, there are three important factors you need to consider:

1. Choosing the right size of antique chandeliers

You will need to measure the width and length of your room in feet, and then add the two numbers together. The result should be the maximum diameter of the chandelier in inches. For instance, if a room size is 20ft x 20ft, the chandelier diameter should be around 24 inches. You may want to stray up or down the size but this will be a guide that is definitely gives you a starting point to help you make a decision while purchasing antique chandeliers.

2. Consider the height of chandeliers

You certainly do not want someone is going to get hurt due to the antique chandeliers hanging much below 8 feet in walkways. So you need to give attention on the height of chandelier and the chain length for your ceiling. You can always alter the chain lengths, but you need to be careful as it can also totally alter the look of the whole furniture.

When place an antique chandelier above a table, you should bring it as low as 2.5 ft to 3 ft as long as it does not have a large diameter.

3. The ambiance of the room

In order to get the right ambiance, you will need to test with different wattage bulbs until you feel the lighting gives the precise amount for the room. On your wall, you can also add a dimmer switch.

Purchasing the right antique chandeliers is a worth investment to beautify and gives a good atmosphere to your room.
