The diverse world of home fixtures

Chandeliers, sconces and other household lighting devices - an important element of the interior, directly influencing the creation of an atmosphere of comfort and comfort in the house. But how not to be mistaken with the choice of a lamp and to acquire such a device, which will turn out to be impossible, by the way, in a particular room? To answer this question, it is worthwhile to talk about the types of home fixtures presented today in stores.

So, all household lighting fixtures fall into three main categories: ceiling, wall and wall-ceiling fixtures. Let us dwell in more detail on each of these categories.

Ceiling lamps

These devices, as their name implies, are attached to the ceiling. The most widely used suspended ceiling lamps, which are suspended from the ceiling on rods, cords, chains. As an example, you can bring chandeliers - multilamp pendant lighting with a rich decorative design. Today, there are many types of chandeliers in the sale, with a variety of designs: from the classic, with shades of transparent glass and crystal pendants, to the unusual futuristic models in which multi-colored frosted glass and steel are combined.

However, it should be borne in mind that chandeliers and other suspended fixtures look good only in rooms with sufficiently high ceilings. Therefore, in rooms with a low ceiling height, instead of the usual chandelier, it is more appropriate to use overhead or recessed lamps, which occupy much less space above the head.

Wall lights

With all the advantages of ceiling light , they have one significant drawback: they are not able to provide uniform coverage of all functional areas. Therefore, even if in your bedroom or living room there is a beautiful chandelier, it will be appropriate to combine it with a suitable wall lamp or sconce.

However, sconces can be used not only as a source of additional lighting. In small rooms with low ceilings, these lighting fixtures are fully capable of taking over the main lighting, serving as an excellent replacement for chandeliers. In addition, the sconces are indispensable for the creation of an intimate or romantic setting, when, when the upper light is extinguished, a soft twilight settles in the room. Finally, such fixtures are an excellent tool for arranging lighting accents on certain interior items, as well as a good tool for visually dividing the room into separate zones.

Wall-ceiling lamps

These modern lighting devices can equally well be mounted on both vertical and horizontal surfaces. The main advantage of wall-ceiling fixtures is that there is no need to combine different types of lighting fixtures, which does not always help create a harmonious appearance of the room. Using the same wall-ceiling fixtures for replacing the chandelier and the place of the sconce, you can observe a single light concept of the interior, which is so important for feeling comfortable.

Lighting devices of this kind look great both in living quarters, and in offices and trading halls, as well as in bathrooms, if you choose special moisture-proof models. Of course, in comparison with luxurious chandeliers, such lamps look less solemn, but they are more practical, affordable and allow for considerable energy savings, which can be a decisive argument in their favor.
