The classic style is characterized by corresponding items in the interior. Lighting fixtures are no exception. Modern designers suggest using classic luxurious chandeliers to decorate rooms. They delight with their rich and attractive appearance.
Classification of classic style chandeliers
There are characteristics according to which classical style chandeliers differ from each other:
- based on the materials used to manufacture lampshades, as well as additional decorative elements. For these purposes, crystal or fabric is used. Materials such as wood, ceramics, as well as metal, glass or crystal are offered as decoration;
- differ in the number of levels. Chandeliers consist of one, two or more levels;
- differ in the number of horns. There are single-horn and multi-horn devices.
The most fashionable chandeliers
Many people, when choosing lamps for their home, would like to know: which chandeliers can be considered the most fashionable today? We have collected information on this issue and would like to share it with you.
As you know, fashion is a passing phenomenon. Therefore, consumers who buy chandeliers for their interior understand that this purchase, most likely, will hang in their room for more than a year or two: as a result, even the most trendy chandeliers have a certain touch of classicism, although devoid of aristocracy. An example of such chandeliers are the Arti and Fusta series from the Spanish factory Leds C4 . Its contemporary Art Nouveau designs are ideal for creating a cozy and modern room.
In general, chandeliers, which are considered the most fashionable today, can be divided into two large groups, from which each buyer chooses what he likes best. The first group is chandeliers made in a classic style: it is quite extensive and attractive. The second group consists of lamps belonging to modern models. The main criteria according to which buyers evaluate the chandelier options offered to them are beauty and practicality.
Among the elements of classic chandeliers, crystal, which had been missing for several years, has returned to fashion again. And today, a crystal chandelier is again considered a symbol of beauty, grace, luxury and prestige. At the same time, designers are trying to build on already familiar forms and add innovative ideas: as a result, the design of modern crystal chandeliers is striking in its diversity. To illustrate, I would like to draw your attention to the chandeliers of the Spanish factory Mirada de Cristal. Her models, made of crystal, amaze the imagination with their beauty and grace.
Currently, chandeliers made of crystal painted in various colors are considered very fashionable. So, the glare and play of light from brown, black or blue crystal look very impressive. Look at the splendor of black crystal pendants in the Palermo series from the L'Arte Luce factory and you will understand why such models are at the peak of fashion today.
But, apparently due to longing for the old romantic times, many consumers choose chandeliers created with elements of artificial aging. Therefore, at the top of the fashionable “hit parade” of chandeliers today are models based on aged glass or metal. The popular Italian factory L'Arte Luce uses this fashionable technique perfectly. For example, her Varese series is made of dark brown metal with an aged effect, which looks very impressive. Chandeliers of a modern style, which reflect the latest fashion trends, must necessarily contain elements such as nickel, copper, bronze or chrome-plated materials. The color of the lampshades does not play a big role: in some cases it can be done in warm colors, and in others – in bright, saturated colors. The general motto of their creation should look like this: “strictly, concisely, beautifully.” Look at the spectacular Fusta series from the Italian factory Leds C4 and you will understand what we are talking about.
Modern style also welcomes chandeliers that do not have a single unnecessary detail, but at the same time are in perfect harmony with all existing trends in interior design. An example of such harmony is the fashionable chandeliers of the Carla series from Leds C4, made using the amazingly luxurious Tiffany style.
We advise you to choose a chandelier taking into account fashion trends, and then it will not only illuminate your room, but also give a great mood to everyone who enters.
Chandeliers for the living room
The choice of lighting fixture is made based on the size of the room, as well as the height of the ceilings. This is the main rule, and only then can you pay attention to the beauty of the chandelier you like. It’s good if the interior of the room has mirror and glass surfaces. With their help, additional reflective effects are created that emphasize the beauty and original style of the living room.
Choosing a chandelier for a room with low ceilings
When choosing a chandelier for a room where the ceilings are not very high, you should adhere to the following tips:
- give preference to glass chandeliers. In such rooms they look light and airy;
- You should not choose heavy multi-level lamps. Such a chandelier can visually reduce the size of a room;
- when choosing a chandelier, stick to practicality, because movement in such a room will be difficult due to a low-hanging chandelier;
- Don't buy a chandelier spontaneously. Make a number of measurements and calculations in advance: ceiling height, room area. These numbers will serve as a guide for the store manager to make the purchase you need.
When purchasing a chandelier for a room with low ceilings, it is important to take into account the overall design style. The method used to install the lighting fixture plays a big role in this.
High tech
Well, the last, most fashionable version of chandeliers in 2017 is techno style. High-tech lamps are a modern trend that creates an original and at the same time simple atmosphere in the interior. The shades of ceiling techno lamps are made of nickel-plated metal, bright plastic and glass. As a result, the bedroom, living room or even the kitchen becomes more fashionable. The advantage of high-tech chandeliers is that they are easy to maintain and are also suitable even for rooms with low ceilings, because... the structure can be “pulled to the ceiling.”
Color solutions
Classic style chandeliers are characterized by a conservative color scheme:
- frames are made to match the color of the metal: silver, bronze, gold or chrome;
- The lampshades are made in white and pinkish colors.
The black color of the lampshades represents an element of modern classics. Only a few manufacturers (Russia, Italy) use iridescent colors in the painting of lampshades.
Materials
For the manufacture of lamp frames made in the classic style, the following types of metals are used:
- An alloy in which brass predominates. This frame looks rough, but in some cases it is quite appropriate. Many manufacturers use gold plating to improve the appearance.
- Chandeliers made of bronze are a stylish and sophisticated option. Often brass products have a bronze color.
- The frame, for the production of which chrome-plated metal is used, looks luxurious and stylish. A good addition to such a lamp is crystal.
- The frame, made in chrome color, fits perfectly in a room where the walls are white or gray.

General recommendations
A lighting fixture that matches the classic style is chosen taking into account the following tips:
- a small kitchen will look great if you purchase a chandelier that is not burdened with decorative elements;
- the stylish design of the room will be given by the design of chandelier shades and sconces in a single color;
- In rooms characterized by high ceilings, chandeliers with long pendants look original. Multilevel models are appropriate here;
- a modest-sized chandelier will look ridiculous in a large, spacious room.
The classic style represents one of the most important style trends, which will always be in fashion and appropriate for any room.
