Chandeliers in the corridor

Chandeliers in the corridor are able to give comfort to a small room. These lighting devices are small in size and versatile, which allows them to be successfully placed in a small corridor and in a large veranda.

In most cases, in the hallway of an ordinary apartment try to choose more modest models of chandeliers. The main function of the device is to ensure comfortable use of the corridor. For this reason, small and functional models should be chosen in the hall.

Well-demanded ceiling lights, which are built into the ceiling, forming the original composition. LEDs almost do not attract attention and create exquisite lighting.It seems that the design shines independently.

Hanging chandeliers in the corridor of the classic type will help to give the hallway luxury. They are able to become a central element of the ceiling composition, on which there are stretch ceilings with lighting behind the eaves. Choosing such chandeliers, make sure that the ceiling height does not exceed 2.5-3 meters. If the corridor has a lower ceiling, beautiful lighting with a long suspension will only interfere with free movement.

When choosing a chandelier for the corridor, consider the size of the area that it should cover. This indicator has a direct impact on the number of plafonds and their placement. Consider the issue of power, which is equal to the sum of the power of all the lamps used in this luminaire. A small room will have enough power of 80-100 W, and for a larger corridor it will take 120 watts.

Despite the variety of lighting equipment, chandeliers are divided into two types:

• ceiling;
• wall mounted.

Pendant lamps installed at a distance from the ceiling. This type of lighting has the following advantages:

• easy installation;
• You can adjust the height of the placement;
• simple maintenance.

All these advantages will be inappropriate if your apartment has low ceilings. If it is only a little over two meters, the best option would be to purchase a surface ceiling chandelier. Installation in this case will be accompanied by additional difficulties, because it will be necessary to fix the mounting bar on the ceiling. However, the chandelier will not closely cling to the surface and will not occupy a large area.

Wall-mounted lighting equipment is made from materials that are well combined with the interior of the corridor. As a rule, manufacturers offer models of chandeliers made from the following raw materials:

• Crystal glasswhich gives the room brightness and attractive play of light;
• GlassesIn which there are correct protrusions and recesses. This decision is responsible for maintaining the clarity and iris of the lighting;
• Anti-reflective plastic. This material ensures a velvety and cozy lighting space;
• Textiles. Chandeliers made of fabric, give the room a pleasant and delicate light.

Choosing a chandelier in the corridor, you should remember the main rule: the smaller the area of ​​your corridor, the more modest models of chandeliers should be purchased. This does not mean that a huge lamp should be installed in spacious corridors. Several well-chosen lighting fixtures paired with wall chandeliers for more meaningful areas will be the most optimal solution.

Chandelier Tips:

• If the hallway has a square shape, pay attention to the round or square models.Installation should be in the center of the room;
• The design of rectangular premises suggests the presence of lamps with an elongated shape;
• If the corridor is narrow, choose a ceiling, whose width does not exceed 1/3 of the width of the room itself;
• A long hallway can be decorated with the help of several lamps, on which there are square or round ceiling lamps;
• Swivel ceiling lights on a bar or on a flexible type holder will give you unlimited possibilities in the matter of transforming any room, including a corridor with a large area.

The choice of color plays an important role in the interior of the corridor. When choosing a chandelier, make sure that its shade harmoniously looks with the rest of the details of the situation. With the help of well-chosen color solutions, you can emphasize certain areas of the room.When choosing lighting devices, it is required to follow the rule which consists in the following: a color that is an auxiliary shade of the main one must coincide with the coloring of the chandelier.

If you like chandeliers of bright colors, be prepared for the fact that such a lamp will become a central link in the interior of the hallway. When choosing translucent and transparent models, keep in mind that they will only shade the leading color gamut. In order to avoid mistakes when choosing the color of the chandelier, consider in advance the question of a combination with the chosen interior.

Most owners of small hallways want to make this room visually larger, cozier and more functional. In these matters will help competent choice of lighting. To visually increase the area of ​​the room, choose bright colors for finishing materials.

Such surfaces serve as an excellent reflector of light, so designers recommend purchasing them in a small hallway. In order to "widen" the distance between the walls, light is induced on them. Try to direct the lighting in the upper half of the walls and in those parts where they intersect with the ceiling.

Modern layout favors the installation of several chandeliers. Do not listen to the advice that in a small room you can install only a small number of lamps. At the moment, designers offer a rational approach to the issue of lighting and create the necessary effects for the interior.

In many apartments there is a narrow corridor, which is a walk-through room. Each owner of such housing wants the room to become more beautiful and functional. In addition to the correct choice of furniture, the issue of lighting deserves special attention.

Designers recommend the following tricks:

• You can visually increase the width of the corridor by reducing the length. The reduction of this parameter is possible by dividing a room into an entrance, passing transition zone;
• Other experts prefer to emphasize the shape of the room and turn it into a tunnel. This effect can be obtained by installing several identical lamps on the same wall.

If you are interested in the option of dividing a room into several zones, this effect can be obtained with the help of a competent arrangement of lighting devices:

• To highlight the entrance area, you need to highlight the hanger, a small shelf at the entrance, a shelf for shoes;
• Passing area should be issued with the help of chandeliers that emit a soft light. Direct lighting should be on the walls and ceiling. This option will be ideal if there are low ceilings in your corridor;
• Transition zones should be as smooth as possible. If there will be a sharp change of lighting, it will cause a feeling of discomfort and confusion in space. You can resort to installing interior doors with transmissive glass inserts.

Decorative design of the corridor with the help of chandeliers can be of a different character. Someone prefers bright and challenging lighting,other apartment owners choose a modest decor. Lighting should be chosen based on the interior in which the corridor is made. For each design there is a solution that will help transform the room and make it more harmonious.

If your living room is decorated in modern style, pay attention to the intricate models of chandeliers. This interior assumes complete freedom in the use of expressive elements. Designers recommend to buy chandeliers of unusual shape and position them asymmetrically.

Chandeliers of classic models are often installed in the corridors. Despite the fact that such a design implies a standard and correctness, it has a wide variety of models. Look good lighting in the form of vintage lanterns, candelabra. Many designers offer their customers ceiling lamps imitating candles, torches, and flowers.

Hi-tech is the most fashionable solution for lovers of modern design. This interior is characterized by open space, functional environment. Chandeliers with curlicues and floral motifs are not allowed.

Ecostyle in recent days is gaining popularity. For such an interior requires lighting, which will permeate the entire room. Attention should be paid to flowers, palm trees, phyto walls. A wide window opening and a well-chosen chandelier on the ceiling are the key moment of the eco-style. In this design, preference should be given to models of lamps, which combine functionality and attractive forms.

Elements of antiquity, as well as the presence of gramophones, dim mirrors, forged lamps are peculiar to vintage and retro. The chandelier should be in harmony with the overall decor of the corridor.At the moment, many manufacturers offer "aged" models of ceiling chandeliers that fit into the retro interior.
