How To Select Suitable Wall Lamps And Pendant Lamps?

1. Why should the chandelier/wall lamp be selected in advance?

"Do the hard decoration in one go, and choose the soft decoration while viewing" is the decoration method that many friends are accustomed to. After all, most soft furnishings are much more flexible and richer than hard decoration, and it is not too late to add them slowly after completion.

However, some soft furnishings are closely integrated with hard furnishings, and there are a lot of construction details that need to be considered in advance. Any carelessness will greatly reduce the implementation effect. Therefore, we usually recommend that owners determine this type of soft furnishing selection as early as possible so that they can cooperate well during the construction process.

This article will take chandeliers and wall lamps as an example to introduce in detail the importance of determining the style in advance, as well as some practical tips for selection.

Unlike movable table lamps and floor lamps, chandeliers and wall lamps have fixed installation locations and often echo the surrounding hard decoration backgrounds. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare the installation conditions for them during the hard decoration construction process.

1. The installation location affects the reservation of circuit points

The circuit is the most direct influence. The location of the restaurant chandelier needs to be determined in advance based on the size and form of the dining table, and the location and height of the wall lamp also need to be comprehensively judged based on the shape and function, which will affect the direction and location of the circuit.

●Bedside | Different styles of wall lamps may have different installation heights

●Bedside | The diameter of the chandelier determines the distance of the circuit out of the wall

●Restaurant | Different styles of wall lamps may have different installation heights

2. The style of the lamp affects the reinforcement range of the base

Lighting fixtures installed on the ceiling usually need to add a base layer to ensure their stability, and different styles of chandeliers require different base layers. For example, the chandeliers shown in the figure below need to have different base layers according to their single-head, multi-head, and long strip shapes. If you want to change the style of the chandelier after the carpentry is completed, you may be restricted by this.

●Single-head chandelier

●Multi-head chandelier

●Long chandelier

2. Tips for choosing pendant lamps/wall lamps

Of course, I understand the difficulty of some friends in making choices. After all, aesthetics is too subjective. There are too many choices. Sometimes it is really hard to convince yourself that this is the most suitable one for your home. But all choices are ultimately a reflection of the inner value ranking, function, beauty, price, why not sort out the priorities of your needs with the designer one by one, I believe it will lead you to find the right answer.

01. When there is a practical need, it is better to prioritize functionality

Many daily life scenes require fixed-point lighting, such as reading lighting on the sofa or bedside, dining and dining lighting on the dining table, dressing lighting in front of the bathroom mirror, etc. The choice of lamps in the same scene often points to two different directions , focusing more on functionality or atmosphere.

Do sofa lamps and bedside lamps need to also have reading functions?

A. Reading lamp: adjustable lighting angle to meet reading needs

B. Atmosphere lighting: focus on space decoration and atmosphere

In addition to downlights and light strips, what other options are there for the bathroom?

02. From the perspective of aesthetics alone, there are many factors to consider

When there is no clear fixed-point lighting demand, lamps can provide ambient lighting and become the finishing touch of space design. The scale of the space, the matching of colors, the echo of materials, the adaptation of shapes, designers may consider many things at the same time when choosing a lamp.

03. Actual experience of the lighting effects of different light sources

Some friends pay special attention to the actual lighting experience and find it difficult to imagine the real effect of the light source based on pictures alone. It is recommended that such friends go to offline home furnishing stores to experience the lighting atmosphere brought by the lamps in person if conditions permit.

Friends who are accustomed to online shopping can also choose lamps with replaceable bulbs, so that they can choose the appropriate color temperature and brightness according to their own lighting habits and preferences after moving in.
