There are many myths about crystal chandeliers. According to some opinions, they are only suitable for traditional interiors, and even then only for some rooms, because more than one would be too much for a home. Wrong. Even double. We've already explained the first one in our last article, and we'll set the second one straight today. You'll also learn how to work with lighting design in commercial spaces as well as how to take advantage of the unique properties of crystal.
Crystal chandeliers and individual rooms in the home
Living room
A crystal chandelier will be an ornament in your living room, no matter whether you have it decorated in traditional, modern or even industrial or Scandinavian style. You can choose it and incorporate it into your interior design so that it fits perfectly and everything is in a unified style. Or it can be used creatively as an important contrasting element. So that it represents an interesting design "contrast".

Kitchen and dining room
You will also appreciate the design variability of crystal chandeliers in the dining room, whatever the style. Classic crystal chandeliers are perfect for a rustic kitchen, while more modern types will beautifully complete the Provence atmosphere, giving every meal a festive touch. And even a casual Sunday family lunch will feel a bit like a festive table during an official state visit.

Bedroom
Do you know a more romantic type of light fixture than a crystal chandelier? A candle doesn't count... Well, you see, neither do we. And our clients are of the same opinion because they can't get enough of them. They're happy to see something this nice first thing upon waking up, which instantly makes their day.
However, when choosing a crystal chandelier for the bedroom, it is necessary to take into account its height, which should be in line with the height of the ceiling of the room. For anyone who has a low ceiling in their bedroom, we recommend that they prefer a ceiling light that is attached, but otherwise it is of course up to you whether you prefer an extravagant solution or, on the contrary, choose a more subtle type of chandelier.

Hall and Staircase
The hallway or entrance hall is usually the first room you see when you come home or visit someone. That's why it's important not to underestimate the importance of its lighting, as with the right choice you will always make a great first impression. And it doesn't matter if it's yourself when you get home from work or your guests. A crystal chandelier is guaranteed to light up this often large and cold-looking space. Figuratively and literally.

Crystal chandeliers in commercial spaces
Crystal chandeliers are the ideal type of lighting for large interiors where you want to make a real impression on visitors. They look great, create a luxurious atmosphere and can illuminate a large area. That's why you see them so often in hotels, restaurants, theatres and boutiques.
In addition to mass production, we also create special large crystal luminaires in cooperation with designers and architects for representative buildings and rooms such as palaces, foyers, lobbies, halls, etc.
Working with light in interior and representative spaces
In general, if you or your guests want to concentrate in a room, be active and not get tired even in the later hours and, above all, be able to see well, it is advisable to illuminate it with intense light. This will be the case in a study, a conference room, a theatre lobby, a hotel reception or a shop or restaurant.
If the room is intended to have a more intimate and relaxed atmosphere (bars, various lounges, etc.), then less intense lighting is chosen. But even then, crystal chandeliers are a good choice because their elegance adds style and soul to the space, even if they don't draw as much attention to themselves as if they shone a lot and were therefore more visible. They also work well as a co-creator of atmosphere.
Lighting design and the use of crystal properties in lighting
Lighting design is a way of conveying the desired emotion or mood to the visitor of a space and providing a quality visual experience through light. This is because lighting can be used to convey the message that the architect or interior designer wanted to convey through the room in an even more inventive way.
"Light is the gateway to imagination. It enables a kind of non-verbal sensory communication. It doesn't require any prior knowledge, as is the case with communication through words or any other type of code."
Romain Tardy, legendary French visual artist and founder of the visual art group ANTIVJ.
Using the properties of crystal in lighting
High brilliance and sparkle are typical for crystal. Crystal chandeliers thus offer a unique refraction that multiplies the power of light from incandescent bulbs. The increased brilliance and refraction of light is due to the presence of lead oxide. And it is because of this that crystal glass refracts light so that you see iridescent colours in it, and reflects the entire light spectrum.
Therefore, any message of architects and designers can be authentically conveyed through crystal chandeliers. In addition, they can - unlike other luminaires - also count on incorporating increased brilliance, shimmer and natural iridescent colours in their designs, so it is no problem to let your imagination run wild and be more creative. The overall effect of their efforts will then be even more intense
