• For the brightest possible lighting of the room, choose chandeliers with glass beads - the light will be reflected from the transparent surface. Shades of colored glass, on the other hand, will dim the light.
• For a spacious room, it is not necessary to choose one large chandelier. Several lamps can look very impressive at once if you place them around the perimeter.
