Sconce in classic style

More and more often, in a modern living room, you can find sconces in a classic style. This is due to the fact that the classic shapes and features of lighting fixtures fit into many interior styles.

"Classic" in lighting has been appreciated at all times, thanks to its universal and unchanging qualities.

These features are:

• Unique design;
• The majestic and solemn appearance of many classic-style appliances;
• Large sizes and many details in pendant chandeliers. At the same time, there are no unnecessary details. Each element is interconnected with each other and creates the overall appearance of the luminaire;
• Simplicity and aristocracy in the appearance of wall and table lamps;
• The use of an expensive material or a high-quality one that imitates it well. As a rule, crystal, bronze, glass are used for classic chandeliers;
• Calm, soft tones. Newfangled acid and "flashy" colors are inappropriate in this style. Preference is given to black and white, milky, beige, gray colors;
• Wide range of models. Therefore, each home will find its own unique chandelier.

These features, combined with modern technologies, create a new style of lighting - neoclassicism, which is gaining more and more popularity. Neoclassicism can be used in new-fashioned interiors of the loft, high-tech, modern style, and at the same time it will organically look both in the classic interior and in the eco style.

The service life and appearance of lighting fixtures largely depends on the material used.

In the classic style of lighting fixtures, the following are mainly used:

• glass;
• metal;
• crystal;
• stone;
• wood;
• bronze.

When making a classic chandelier, glass is often used, but not simple. Most often, this is Murano glass, which is famous for its ancient manufacturing technology and unusual color. Multi-colored Murano glasses are obtained thanks to natural minerals and metals, so this material is considered to be elite. Classic chandeliers can combine frosted, colored and transparent glass. These wall lights add a unique ambiance to your bathroom or bedroom.

Metal allows you to create classic fixtures with a wide variety of designs and shapes. Forged elements will immediately attract attention, so wall, ceiling chandeliers with this design are most suitable for the living room.

The advantage of metal bases and inserts for lighting fixtures is durability and good compatibility with other materials. So, metal will look organically with glass or wood. "Air" glass shade on a forged base will be a very original solution. Metal inserts on a wooden base will add strength and elegance to the luminaire. It is worth remembering that there should be a minimum of sharp corners in the manufacture of forged products. Smooth lines, rounded curls and curves are preferred.

Crystal is one of the features of the classics. Only such material can convey the richness and nobility of the interior. Crystal elements with precious stones give the room a special chic and light. Therefore, they are best placed in the dining room, living room or bedroom.Spotlights are also decorated with crystal, and not just ceiling or wall sconces.

Natural stone (marble, malachite, granite, onyx) most often serves as the basis for lighting devices in the classics. This adds durability and value to the device, as over time it can become a real antique. Only the price of such a product is much higher, but over time it can become a good investment.

The stone base gives the interior austerity and nobility at the same time. Therefore, they will harmoniously fit into the living room, office of the apartment, and into the interior of a cafe or restaurant.

Wooden details give the classic chandelier even more mystery and chic. At the same time, it looks very organic in the interior of an apartment of any style. Basically, parts, inserts, the base of the lamp are made of wood. All this is complemented by crystal, glass or metal.

The bronze lamp is the embodiment of grace, grace and prosperity. Previously, such lamps adorned the halls of palaces, but today they can be found both in a mansion and in a small apartment. These luminaires are prized for their durability, presentable appearance and affordability. Bronze is an elastic material, so it is easy to make various shapes and lines from it. The luster of metal is often confused with a golden glow, and its color does not fade and does not lose its original appearance.

Gold, silver and bronze plating is a common technique in making a classic chandelier. This spraying is used not only for the base, but also for the decoration of plafonds and their painting. This design gives the luminaire a noble and rich look.

In the classical genre, lighting devices have several types, which differ in shape and design:

• ceiling;
• carob;
• wall-mounted;
• desktop;
• street.

Ceiling chandeliers of impressive size with several levels are considered the basis of classic design. A pendant chandelier, as a rule, is decorated with crystal or glass details made in the form of a drop, a rhombus, or an oval. The shine of this material gives the room a special solemnity, therefore, such chandeliers are placed in the living room, a hall with high ceilings.

You can also find a chandelier with candle-shaped lamps. The frame of the device can be forged or wooden, on which such unusual lamps are placed. These works well complement the interior of the living room or kitchen.

Today, carob chandeliers can also be found with several tiers. Their curved appearance, flowing lines and elongated lamps give the room a coziness and tranquility. The horns can be bronze or gold plated, and the shades can be made of transparent or frosted glass. It would be appropriate to install such a lamp in a bedroom or living room.

Wall-mounted luminaires are not limited to strict frames. This species has a wide variety of sizes and shapes. Shades can be either colored glass or crystal. Such lamps help to zone a room, so they are suitable for a studio apartment. They are also a functional option in the bedroom above the bed.

An office or work area in a living room is impossible without table lamps. Classic table-top appliances have a solid base made of stone or metal and a fabric lampshade. It can also be replaced by a matte glass shade.

Street lamps are used to illuminate the local area. As a rule, they are made in the form of a lantern made of a forged metal pole and a glass shade. He, in turn, can have both regular and unusual (in the form of a lantern) shapes.

A sconce in a classic style can both transform a room and expose it in an unsightly light.

Therefore, when choosing a lighting product, you should adhere to the rules:

• The luminaire must be selected according to the general style of the apartment. Each selected luminaire must match the concept of the room. This also applies to the shape, type, and color of the lamp. The classic luminaire is versatile and suitable for many styles. For a loft style or modern style, black lamps will be acceptable. For high-tech style, you can choose white, beige and contrasting colors;
• It must be functional. If the task is to illuminate a large area, then the chandeliers should be of the appropriate size. You also need to choose a device that is easy to use and maintain. It should not be with many small parts on which dust falls well and subsequently difficult to remove;
• Decide in advance on the type of lamp and its location. If you need to illuminate the bedside area in the bedroom, then a wall lamp will do. Spotlights around the perimeter and one chandelier in the center of the room will create bright illumination of all corners. Both table and wall lamps are suitable for zoning space.

A wall lamp in a classic style is a “for all time” lighting that complements the overall image of the apartment in a practical and multifaceted way.
