Multicolor chandelier

Start by measuring the diameter: 60 or 67 cm for a compact living room, 75 to 90 cm for a large space. The colorful chandelier is then chosen on three practical points: the ball shape with opal globes, the G9 socket in 6W LED, and the room to equip, from living room to hallway via the kitchen.

Which chandelier should you choose for a living room?

In a living room, a colorful chandelier with opal globes lights without dazzling and remains readable as the focal point of the room. The diameter determines this presence: 60 or 67 cm for a compact living room, 75 to 90 cm for a large space. The adjustable rod sets the height.

Colorful glass chandelier: what effect in a living room?

The opal glass of the globes diffuses light instead of directing it. The result is even brightness, with no bright spot that tires the eye when watching television or reading under the fixture. Compare with the more transparent glass chandeliers, which cast glints on the walls and take on a more decorative than functional role.

Colorful ball chandelier: which size for which room?

The ball shape imposes its silhouette at the centre of the ceiling. A diameter of 60 cm is enough in a medium-sized living room, 67 cm if the room is square and uncluttered. Beyond that, you enter the realm of the large space. Find these formats in the chandeliers designed for the living room.

How do you choose a modern living room chandelier?

A modern colorful living room chandelier is recognisable by its clean lines, its opal globes and its frame in metal, glass and iron. Look for a diameter suited to the room, a G9 socket for easy bulb replacement and an adjustable rod to set the height under the ceiling.

Modern living room chandelier: what sets it apart

No scrolls or heavy clusters: the iron frame simply holds the globes, and they are what draw the volume. This restraint makes it easy to match with a contemporary sofa as well as a more classic interior. The contemporary living room models and the modern models cover this register.

Colorful chandelier and diamond chandelier: two light effects

A diamond chandelier plays on facets that reflect light in moving glints. Here, the opal globes instead give an enveloping, steady light, with no sparkle. If you are looking for that sparkle, turn to the crystal drop chandeliers, whose effect on the ceiling is very different.

Which colorful chandelier for a dining room?

For a dining room, install the colorful chandelier centred above the table, with a diameter that lets the room breathe: 67 or 75 cm often work well. The adjustable rod sets the height so the fixture stays clear above the tabletop and keeps the light at the right level.

At what height should a chandelier be hung above the table?

Generally, the bottom of the fixture is placed about 75 to 85 cm above the tabletop, a common reference that lets you see the guests without dazzling them. The adjustable rod of 10, 20 or 30 cm lets you fine-tune this point according to ceiling height and the size of the people seated. See the dining room lighting.

Warm white or cool white for a meal?

Warm white, around 2700 to 3500K, makes dishes and faces warmer, the usual choice above a table. Cool white, 4500 to 6500K, lights more sharply but hardens the mood. So plan for G9 bulbs in the temperature you want, and keep the same for all the light points.

Is a colorful chandelier suitable for a bedroom, kitchen or hallway?

Yes, provided you respect the IP20 protection rating: these colorful chandeliers are intended for dry rooms, living room, dining room, bedroom, kitchen and hallway, but not for a bathroom. In a child's bedroom, check the strength of the fixing and the suspension height.

Colorful chandelier for a child: what to check

A fixing anchored in the ceiling, never in hollow plasterboard, and a suspension high enough to escape reaching hands. The opal globes diffuse a soft light, and warm white accompanies bedtime. The bedroom chandeliers follow these criteria, in adult as well as child versions.

Kitchen chandelier: how to match it without overloading

Place it above a table or a clear worktop, away from splashes and direct steam. As for colour, white blends into light kitchens, gold warms woodwork, and blue adds a bold note. Browse the kitchen lighting and the hallway pendants.

What is a colorful chandelier such as the Luminéa Flore made of?

The Luminéa Flore chandelier combines a frame in metal, glass and iron with opal globes and discs. The globes filter the light, which becomes soft and even, with no direct glare. The bulbs have a G9 socket, in 6W LED, with a choice of warm white or cool white.

G9 socket: which bulbs should you plan for?

The G9 socket clips into the holders, without screwing. Each point is rated for 6W LED, enough power for domestic use with contained consumption. As the bulbs are replaced one by one, keep a few spare G9s in the temperature of your choice. The technology is detailed in the LED lighting.

Opal globes and discs: what type of light?

Opal glass hides the filament from view and lets through a milky light, spread around the centre of the fixture. The discs structure the silhouette and frame each source. The result suits above a table as well as in the middle of a living room, where you want neither glare nor harsh shadow.

Large living room chandelier: which format for a large room?

In a large living room, a chandelier of 75 to 90 cm in diameter marks the centre of the room without crushing it. Check the ceiling height and the clearance you want under the fixture, then adjust the adjustable rod of 10, 20 or 30 cm: the ceiling rose measures 12 cm. The Colorful chandelier collection has 3 products.

Adjustable rod 10, 20 or 30 cm: how do you set the height?

The taller the room, the more rod you add, bearing in mind that the fixture must stay in the field of vision without hindering movement. On a staircase or mezzanine, the question changes: see the tall staircase spaces and the lounge chandeliers.

12 cm ceiling rose: what to plan for on the ceiling

Only twelve centimetres of footprint, so a small fixing hole and a discreet connection in a painted ceiling. Check that the existing back box can bear the weight of the chosen fixture, especially in the 15-lamp version. The rest of the families are gathered in our chandelier selection.

Design chandelier, modern chandelier or large industrial chandelier: which mood should you choose?

Style is chosen according to what the room should tell: a design or modern chandelier with opal globes for a current mood, a large industrial chandelier for a workshop feel, a diamond or drop chandelier for a more sparkling effect. This collection stays in a modern, contemporary and jungle register.

Colorful baroque or Murano chandelier: how do you tell them apart?

Baroque multiplies curves, gilding and drops; Murano glass plays on the very material of the glass. The ball shape of this collection takes the opposite approach: visible iron frame, regular opal globes, gold finishes or white versions depending on the furniture. A chic and modern chandelier is recognisable by this economy of means.

Diamond chandelier and colorful drops: what effects on the ceiling?

Colorful drops cast small coloured patches on the walls and ceiling, a lively effect that nevertheless occupies the room. A diamond chandelier produces a tighter sparkle, close to jewellery. The design models and the contemporary lines stay, for their part, on a diffuse light.

How do you install and maintain a colorful chandelier?

Assembly remains simple: the 12 cm ceiling rose is fixed to the ceiling, the adjustable rod is set at 10, 20 or 30 cm, then the globes are placed on the G9 holders. For maintenance, a soft cloth is enough on the glass and metal, with the fixture switched off and cooled.

How do you clean the glass globes and the metal frame?

Cut the power, let it cool, then run a soft, dry cloth over the globes. On the metal, avoid abrasive products that scratch the finish. Twice a year is enough in an ordinary interior; in a kitchen, an extra pass removes the greasy film left by cooking.

What should you check before switching on a chandelier with 8, 12 or 15 lamps?

Check the tightness of the ceiling rose, the hold of the rod and the alignment of the globes. Make sure each G9 bulb is properly clipped in: a single badly seated one is enough to create a black spot in the whole. The selection is covered by a 2-year warranty, and the entire Designix catalogue follows the same installation rules.

Secure payment, tracked delivery, possible returns and Designix customer service: you first choose the format and the light temperature, the rest follows. For a large room, start with the 90 cm.
