It often happens that apartment owners who are planning a renovation try to save money: for example, they buy new furniture, while leaving a chandelier from the “past”.

Expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino, told whether a ceiling lamp should match the furniture.

According to the expert, the compatibility of the chandelier is a matter of personal preference.

Some people like it when the chandelier and furniture are completely matched in style, color and material, which is especially important if the interior of the room is classic.

Others prefer bold and bright solutions, when the lamp creates a contrast with the furniture. Often, such a solution is mandatory when it comes to modern styles, for example, fusion.

However, in both cases it is important to follow the rules of color compatibility.

So, for a discreet interior, all elements, including the chandelier, should be in adjacent sections of the color wheel (you can see what it looks like on the Internet).

For those who need brightness and contrast, it is worth choosing two or three colors opposite each other.
