Chandeliers with fabric shades

Chandeliers with fabric shades have been very popular for several years. They perform two functions - they add bright accents to the interior and illuminate the room. Designers annually present to customers new models of lighting fixtures with interesting designs and shapes. Therefore, modern chandeliers with fabric shades are suitable for any room.

A chandelier with a textile shade is an original piece of furniture that has a number of features:

• Various types of textiles are used for manufacturing - organza, silk, linen, burlap. The fabric plays a role in choosing the style and design of a room. For example, to create a cozy, rustic Provence, experts advise giving preference to rough, natural fabrics. Expensive, chic canvases are appropriate in an exquisite classic interior.
• The lampshade must have a frame - metal, wood or plastic.
• Manufacturers offer a variety of shapes - regular (round, conical) and abstract (hemisphere, parallelepiped) shapes.
• Depending on the configuration of the chandelier, it can scatter light downward and reflect rays off the ceiling.
• Lampshades can be decorated with interesting additions - fringed ribbons, crystal pendants, draperies, rhinestones, bows and flowers. They look elegant and luxurious.

To the merits chandeliers with fabric lampshades include their durability (they cannot be broken), created by soft, diffusing light, ease of maintenance, practicality.

Disadvantages can be called a lot of weight (if the frame is made of metal) and the difficulty in caring for some fabrics.

Designers distinguish several types of classifications of textile lampshades:

• By type of attachment. The most common hanging hooks. They are distinguished by a long suspension (cable, tube, chain), which is attached to a hook in the ceiling. This option is ideal for spacious rooms with high ceilings and where bright lighting is required. Ceiling are in second place. They look neat due to their attachment to the ceiling-mounted rail. Ceiling lampshades are suitable for small rooms.
• By the number of bulbs. Single-tube and multi-tube are distinguished.
• By the type of lamps. Incandescent, halogen, fluorescent, LED - the choice depends on personal preference and financial capabilities.
• According to the style direction. Classic chandeliers, modern, rustic styles - country, provence, modern - loft and high-tech are popular here.

Chandeliers are made from two types of materials.

The frame is made of durable metal, glass, plastic or wood. Metal is more durable, plastic is practical and its price is low, but wood is a combustible material, with which fire safety techniques must be observed.

A variety of fabrics act as soft materials.

Also, the fabric should not be spontaneously combustible, while having high light transmittance. The most affordable option is chintz. It is not expensive, it will last more than one year.

Satin stands out due to its wide range of colors and pleasant texture. The dense fibers of the fabric subdue the light and create an intimate, relaxing atmosphere.

Atlas looks expensive and is suitable for decorating living rooms and halls.It has a high bandwidth, due to which the room will always be bright and light.

Silk-covered lighting fixtures look aristocratic and chic. The downside of this material is that it is not durable.

Chandeliers with fabric shades are versatile. They are suitable for any rooms and premises. The main thing is to choose the right model and style.

The spaciousness of the living rooms is favorably emphasized by large lampshades wrapped in light fabric or lace fabrics. Such a veil will allow light to diffuse over the entire area, provide brightness and high illumination.

In bedrooms, to create a cozy intimate atmosphere, it is better to choose a small chandelier with a lampshade made of dense, expensive fabrics.

Stylish lampshade can be matched to any design. For rustic styles (Provence, country) natural fabrics (linen, burlap, chintz) and laconic floral ornaments are suitable; fringe, fringes, fabrics of rich deep, noble shades should be added to the classic interior.

Also lampshades are used in children's rooms. Drawings are applied to the fabric - flowers, airplanes, cars, butterflies, heroes of fairy tales, comics, cartoons, books.

Any model and shape is suitable for the kitchen, but all fabrics tend to absorb odors and quickly become dirty. Therefore, the material must be chosen water-repellent, easy to clean.

There is an opinion that a textile lampshade is not practical, it is difficult to care for it, such a lighting device is outdated and does not fit modern interiors. Many designers advise against installing a lampshade in the bathroom and kitchen above the stove. Here, the material will quickly take on an unsightly appearance due to high humidity, steam and settling fat.

Lampshade manufacturers offer a huge variety of fabrics that are easy to clean with the most common methods.

For example, fabrics can be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner, dry brush or damp cloth. In any case, before cleaning, the lampshade is disconnected from the electrical network, after which it is dried in a natural way without using heaters and dryers.

Lampshades dim lamps, absorb rays, scatter light, soften it and create a warm atmosphere. Any lampshade will attract the eye, focus on the style of the room, giving it charm and elegance.

The lampshade over the dining table is always beautiful and home-like, it seems to unite all household members. The sophisticated style of the interior is emphasized by the pleasant coral color, patterns and fringes. The light is directed directly at the table, slightly dimmed, which creates a cozy and relaxing environment.
