Chandeliers owe their great popularity, among other things, to their diversity.

Hundreds of shapes, colors and sizes allow even the most demanding buyer to find the chandelier that would fully meet all the requirements placed on it.

Thus, designers often prefer to use chandeliers with elongated lampshades to create a fashionable style.

Such models are very well suited to a variety of rooms. And by increasing the length of the chandelier suspension, you can effectively divide the room into separate zones.

All existing chandeliers, despite their visible differences, can be successfully divided into several types.

Firstly, chandeliers differ in the size of the rooms for which they are intended.

If the chandelier has a short suspension or rod, and the lampshades are placed quite compactly, then this type of chandelier should be used to illuminate a small and low room.

Most often, the lampshades of this type of chandeliers are located approximately in the same plane.

Secondly, chandeliers have different lampshade placements. The most favorable lampshade placement option is considered to be when the bulb base is directed downwards and the open part of the lampshade is directed upwards.

The light emitted by this lamp is evenly distributed across the entire ceiling and, reflecting from it, creates uniform illumination of the entire room.

The second option is characterized by the reverse arrangement of the light bulb and lampshade.

Most often, chandeliers of this type are used in rooms where several lighting fixtures are required, for example in a bedroom or an office.

Thirdly, chandeliers are divided into different types depending on how many lampshades they have.

The number of lampshades is determined by the size of the room, but there is no need to use them simultaneously; thanks to the design of the electrical wiring, it is possible to turn on one, several, or all available bulbs.
