Chandeliers are equally appropriate in a classicinterior, and in a modern one. The only difference is in the approach to choosing a model. A traditional chandelier with transparent crystal pendants will suit those who appreciate the classics and strive for historical authenticity. For lovers of less traditional solutions, there are chandeliers with colored pendants (they can be not only teardrop-shaped, but also in the form of fruits and berries). The most shocking option, addressed to adherents of neo-baroque, are chandeliers made entirely of plastic. Well, for those who do not want to unnecessarily weigh down the interior, there are models without pendants at all. The first generation chandeliers, which came into use under Louis XIV, were candle-type, but now you can’t do without electricity. However, for fans of antiquity, there are halogen bulbs with an electromagnetic pulse - they flicker every 20 seconds, creating the effect of a living flame. Keep in mind that a chandelier is primarily a decorative element. Its upward-facing bulbs illuminate mainly the ceiling, leaving too many "dark spots" in the room. So don't forget to equip the room with other light sources!
