The ceiling lamp is able to create the right atmosphere in the room or, on the contrary, spoil the interior. Touch how to competently choose a modern chandelier for the kitchen.
The function of the lamp on the ceiling is not only to disperse darkness, point lamps are coping with this. Its task is much global - it can become both a "highlight" in a harmoniously thoughtful space and "nail" in the lid of failure. Therefore, while there are designers, it is unlikely to end the era of chandeliers in the kitchen, and the photo in the interior that we will show you, this is confirmed.
Types of modern kitchen chandeliers
They can be divided into three types:
- ceiling
- suspended
- Classic.
Ceiling mounted on a mounting or crusade plank, which is good because it hides the wiring. But, if the ceiling is stretched or from drywall, the installation must be taken carefully, and it is better to call an electrician.
Appearance of the device: One or more plafoons "lie" right under the ceiling: the suspension may not be at all. The form is usually round, rectangular or square, and material - translucent or transparent glass.
There is a similar type of fastening and for high ceilings, and the plaffers are located under the bar on long cords.
Suspended luminaires consist of one or more plafoons, fixed on cords, chains or metal tubes, which sometimes have a different length.
They are often hanging on the hook. This is the easiest way to fastening. The hook is screwed to the ceiling, and then they make it in the hole through the plasterboard or the stretched canvas. In this case, the lighting devices can be easily changed, without damaging the coating.
Classic models are also suspended, but they do not always have separate plafones. It happens, they consist of a variety of elements: horns, light bulbs, suspension. Good classic products are not suiced, because they are produced from metal, glass and crystal, but not from plastic.
What you need to consider when choosing a lamp
Room size
On five square meters, any massive item will look at cumbersome, and vice versa - a little lost in a large space.
In addition, the tiny chandelier will not be able to light well.
From the second situation there is a way out. To in the kitchen it was not dark, you can choose point LEDs in the company. And you can another or two lamps, not necessarily identical - even better if they do not look like a kit. Designers recently actively oppose the headset, considering it boring and killing individuality.
And what if it is scary like a large-sized model, but the room is small? It is very important design of the product itself and again the ceiling height. Laconic or even a futuristic big chandelier may well come up with a minimalist interior.
In fact, the sizes are in size - a common error of novice decorators. There are formulas for which professionals calculate the lighting parameters so that they fit into the situation. The perfect diameter of the device can be found: folded the length and width of the room (in meters) and multiply the resulting digit by 10 cm.
The problem is that when you come to the store with this calculation, then, most likely, find the value of large chandeliers for the average Russian.
Here and come to the rescue fantasy, which will tell me how unusual and beautifully compound on one ceiling are several different in the appearance of lampshades, plafimons and lamps.
In a completely microscopic room, try to do without a central light source - a single greeting of single scaves in the corners are much advantageous.

Height of wall
In the apartments of the Old Fund you need to be careful with the purchase of suspended lusters. If the cord is too long, the heads of the owners or guests will regularly meet with it, and it is unlikely to be nice.
The exception is usually done for lamps above the dining table, they can be placed so low, how much the length of the suspension is enough, just just did not blind eyes and did not interfere with see the interlocutor. In addition, they are often easily adjustable in height and rise.
Product model
It must coincide with the style with the overall design concept. Deviations, of course, are permissible, but to successfully mix two or more style, you need to have an impeccable taste or consult with a specialist.
Another option for doubting their designer talents - to recreate the previously seen picture, if the parameters of the sample room and your coincide.

If it is possible to finely choose options from different operas, the interior will benefit and emphasize the host creativity of the house. This, by the way, returns us to the question of the uninteresting headset: Experiment!
There are such directions in the design that are loyal to the neighborhood of inappropriate things - eclectics, loft, modern, scandy, steampunk, causal and some others. Rate furnishings, decor, wall decoration: What style is your home? For example, a coarse simplicity of fashionable lofty is able to smooth one luxury classic lamp, but the second will look excessively.
In a zoned room (for example, in the kitchen-living room), especially if it is spacious, there will also no problem with a combination of radically different devices. Moreover, they themselves can act as a delimitant, clearly determining where what kind of zone.
Purpose of the room
The kitchen is a place of increased marching, so the entire decor has to be able to wash. Will it be convenient for you to care for the classic challenge with all its complicated nitness? Most probably not. Therefore, if you often cook, choose the most simple designs.

In this context, not only the form, but also the material of the product is important.
In modern homes, you can meet kitchen lamps from:
- Metal,
- glasses
- crystal
- wood
- vines
- plastic
- textiles
- Paper.
For the kitchen the first three options are optimal. They are durable, can be washing and careful cleaning (careless too, but the risk of scratching).
Tree and vine look interesting, suitable for any interior, but can absorb smells. And the vine is also uncomfortable - it is thin and rough. No matter how try to keep track of the cleanliness, the vine will quickly absorb fat and darken. But, if you cover the extra layer of varnish, the problem will disappear.
Plastic is good for everyone, especially at the price, but it will quickly fastens, yellowing, burns out, deformed - in general, loses its attractiveness. The same applies to fabric and paper: they will not live for a long time in the kitchen. However, if they are often changed or used as a temporary option, they will bring their charm and comfort to the situation. These options are appropriate in styles such as eco, loft, minimalism, rustic.
The presence of stretch ceiling
This type of design does not like heating. So, you will fit either a suspended model, or the one that has diffusers (metallic). The light will be reflected from them and fall on the floor, without increasing the temperature of the ceiling.
Also, take into account the limit power of the bulbs (more than 60 watts will not stand the tension canvate).
The horns should be directed down to make their technical filling in the glossy ceiling.
Beautiful chandeliers for the kitchen: Choose according to trends
Fashion never accounted for this subject of the interior party. And now his influence is also great. But some familiar to us and popular options are already irrelevant.
In particular, unacceptable for the kitchen in the modern style Ceiling chandeliers with flower and curls, interior designers are considered (designers-developers of the devices themselves may not agree with them). Suspended with similar characteristics also fell into disfavor.
The antitrand is also considered glamorous combinations of polished chromium and halogen or LED light bulbs, chromium (or "gold") and non-ferrous glass, plant motifs.
What models worth paying attention to?
Minimalistic futuristic form. It is simple, often in the form of a geometric shape - a ball, cylinder, long "sticks".
Of any metal, including painted.

Lamps without ceiling - tribute to a minimalism that does not lose relevance.
Chandeliers in the kitchen interior: select under the style
Avangard
It is welcomed to filling an apartment with modern materials, contrasting combinations of flowers, furniture and accessories of non-standard form. The lamp can be made of glass and / or metal and have the most courageous colors.
Kitsch
Style breaking stereotypes and rules. Neighborhood of antiques and high-tech, bright colors, unusual forms, imitation of natural materials, contrast in design. Accordingly, the decor on the ceiling may be any.
Contemporary, Scandy, minimalism
They are characterized by the multifunctionality of furniture, neutrality and unobtrusion of colors, mortality of the situation and accessories. Buy the lamp appropriate.
Contunoporary a little bit of restrained classics, but on the choice of lighting, this feature is not reflected.
Loft
In the deliberate industrialism (communication communications, rough finishing materials, free layout), articles made of metal, glass, natural materials fit perfectly.
To play with the form of a ceiling or lampshar will not be particularly possible: it is usually geometrically correct. But, as we talked above, it is interesting to dilute such a brutal interior and an elegant classics.
Rustic
It has a demonstrative primitive: a lot of natural materials, almost not processed before finishing. From one hundred percent "wildness", this style hold the inclusions of technical innovations and classic items. Such an accessory can be the chandelier.
If the classic model does not like you, buy or order something "rustic" - in the form of a wheel of a cart, made of metal rods, wooden boards.
Steampunk
That it includes: Retro and futurism, a lot of gears, metal and various mechanisms, warm and restrained palette of colors (metal is also "warm"), Victorian furniture and steel or forged futuristic interior items. Presented, what chandler can you hang here?
High tech
And here "Rulyate" devices, gadgets, cold metal and glass, shine and gloss - everything that causes associations with technically advanced future.
Eclecticism
Create a verified eclectic interior itself without professional skills is very difficult. The general message is as follows: Neutral wall decoration, combined colors of furniture and decor. The feature of the eclecticism is that it connects two or three design directions in one room. So, the choice of the lamp depends on what styles you want to mix.
Ecosil
The principle of naturalness is based on: natural colors and materials, many natural light, living plants, space. To emphasize the last and open a look every corner, you can give preference to point luminaires instead of one large.
Position in different angles hanging simple in the form of plaffones, LEDs, lamps, sconces - and get a soft cozy light, which is needed to this style.
