White chandeliers
Choosing a central luminaire for the home, I want it to be perfect, combining practical and aesthetic functions. Trademarks offer buyers a lot of opportunities for interior design. White chandeliers stand out among the wealth of choice: these lighting fixtures are universal, have their own differences and advantages.
Special features
White chandeliers are models of central ceiling fixtures. Due to their color, they provide maximum light flux, without reducing the glow with decorative elements or existing shades. These accessories are key elements of the interior of the room, they are indispensable in residential buildings (apartments, cottages, private houses) and non-residential premises (restaurants, offices, hotels, etc.).
White chandeliers are unique: the shade allows them to blend harmoniously into a different interior and has no restrictions on the color combination.Regardless of the finish of the model, the color does not interrupt the general idea of the design; it is unobtrusive, but the main hue determines the degree of illumination of most of the room and can visually enlarge its space, which is especially important in small-sized rooms.
White chandeliers have a lot of merit, they:
- can be made in a mass way on the professional equipment, made to order in a specialized creative workshop, decorated at home with their own hands using the materials at hand;
- have a wide range of models, which is convenient for placing models on the ceiling and gives a lot of opportunities for decorating the ceiling zone;
- differ in size, which is important for each particular room, and allow you to place the central lamp as accurately as possible so that your eyes do not need additional light;
- they can be single room accents or make up a composition, complemented with spotlights, wall and table lamps of a soft glow (as an additional light or interior decoration);
- Suitable for any room, regardless of the style used (relevant for the living room, study, home library, nursery, bedroom, living room, kitchen);
- can zone the space of a room in non-standard type rooms (for example, a studio apartment, dividing the guest and dining areas);
- have a wide range of decorative elements with which you can demonstrate the idea of design, choose a model in the same style with the available interior items;
- provide for any type of light sources, so they can be equipped with lamps with different temperatures of the light flux;
- depending on the type of raw materials used in the production and its quantity, they differ in cost, allowing each customer to find an option, taking into account the available budget and taste preferences.
Minuses
Since white is a gentle color, its combination with bright colors is not always successful. This greatly simplifies the appearance of the model, which is reflected in the overall picture of interior design. Other disadvantages include the type of material: not every raw material provides a premium chandelier look. Sometimes the shade is not enough whiteness, in other cases it looks ordinary and even boring.
In addition, budget options often do not provide for repairs, which returns to the question of choice.This applies to the type of base, the possibility of replacing lamps.
In some expensive models, it is easy to change light bulbs, although the issue price is considerable (if the product consists of many light bulbs, their purchase can cost as much as the cost of the lamp itself).
One of the main disadvantages is the need for constant care. It is no secret that any, even the slightest dirt and specks are visible on the white tint. They instantly make a messy composition from an elegant model, so the chandelier has to be cleaned more often than other colors, which is often problematic and causes injury to the skin (if there are sharp elements) or damaged lampshades (if they are too fragile).
Coverage options
The surface of the white chandelier is varied:
- matte;
- glossy;
- smooth;
- relief
The texture depends on the type of material used.
Types and models
Existing models of white ceiling lamps are divided into two types:
- suspended;
- invoices.
The first are models on a bar, three cables, or other options, which, in fact, are chandeliers hanging on the ceiling on chains.The very composition of the lighting construction begins below the circuit.
Overhead, or ceiling models as close as possible to the ceiling, do not have such a suspension, although they often differ in volume. In general, compared with the suspension systems, they are more compact, more accurate, lacking cumbersomeness and array, and therefore relevant in apartments of different sizes.
Suspended models are more suitable for rooms with ample space and high walls: so they do not look too massive and do not create a visual reduction in the height of the walls.
Changes of types of chandeliers are obvious: products of the suspended type are distinguished by shades and shades of various shapes and sizes. In the line there is a lot of rozhkov designs adapted for apartment options. Their location is predominantly central, while near-surface models can be located in the center in the form of two symmetrical lamps and asymmetry with the addition of point systems.
Actual styles
White chandelier - the queen of stylistics. It is a mistake to assume that it can complement only the classical style. It can be placed in any chosen design, and if you approach the process creatively,it will decorate the interior in style:
- classic;
- baroque;
- vintage;
- Oriental;
- Arab;
- English;
- Chinese;
- Art Deco,
- minimalism.
There are a lot of options for directions: in each design, the model will look different.
The main thing to pay attention to - materials. For some interiors, they should be simple and even modest, others need luxury and underlined pretentiousness.
Popular color combinations
The color combination is the basis of the premium look of white chandeliers. The most winning models look:
- in a golden frame;
- with green leaves;
- with brown decor or base (especially under wood or bronze);
- with silver beads and colorful crystal.
You can combine white with blue, blue, pink and other shades. In this case, it is important to keep in mind that the chosen color should not be flashy: this deprives the main tone of the dominant role.
You can use any shade, especially if it is an element of decor: so the combination of white will be harmonious with any contrast.

Decor
The design of white chandeliers is multifaceted and subject to different themes.Decorative elements that adorn the shape of the model, make it a certain mood. The most interesting decor techniques include:
- birdies;
- petals;
- inflorescences of small flowers;
- plant elements;
- waterfall.
Each element submits to the design scheme, making together with others a beautiful and even chic appearance.
The most popular decorative elements are:
- burning candles;
- elongated leaves;
- crystal drops;
- openwork forging;
- blotches of golden metallic laces;
- seashells.
Decorative techniques of white chandeliers are done masterfully, which allows the model to be a bunch of different objects: she sets off the premium ones, laconic draws them to the desired status of the interior.
Materials
In the development of models of central lighting brands use different raw materials, which are divided into primary and finishing. The body must be durable and reliable, so it is made of metal and wood.
Each type of material is worthy of attention: the metal allows you to create large multi-tiered compositions that are not scary to decorate with a lot of lampshades and additional decoration (including openwork forging).Wood is perfectly masked for any style, as it is painted with special resistant dyes. It is lighter than metal, gives a lot of possibilities for decoration and can be decorated with small metal elements with gold leaf or plastic analogs.
Manufacturers use as finishing:
- glass,
- plastic;
- textile;
- crystal.
Each material has its advantages and disadvantages. Glass disperses light better, allows you to create stained glass compositions with a transparent base and gold, but fragile and can break. Plastic and plastic are good externally, but when working chandeliers emit harmful substances in the air. The fabric gives a lot of opportunities for the design of the ceiling, but if they use glowing feet, it gradually burns. Crystal is a smart device, but if there is a lot of it, the weight of the lamp increases noticeably.
Beautiful examples in the interior
To blend in with style harmoniously, a white chandelier needs a soft contrast: this will allow the lamp not to merge with the ceiling.
The gold model with white shades will perfectly highlight the dining area of the apartment if it has support in the form of white furniture and a beige ceiling.
Stylish hanging chandeliers in the form of semicircles with an internal ornament look harmoniously in a room with light walls and fresh greenery.
A volumetric white chandelier with a crystal waterfall will decorate the living room in gray and blue tones, bringing warm light and a feeling of lightness to the room, smoothing out the tense atmosphere of cold colors.
Suspended multi-level design with forging, candles and crystal pendants will look harmoniously in the interior of the room, combining the cooking and dining areas.
