A bit of history
The cascade-type ceiling lights first appeared in the Middle Ages. Crystal chandeliers began to be made from crystal in the middle of the nineteenth century in England. And since then, they have been considered a sign of luxury, we alth and the high status of the owner of the house.
The cascading chandelier was also a source of pride and an indicator of prosperity in the Soviet Union. Such models were inexpensive, but getting them was quite problematic. The materials from which these lamps were then made were quite fragile and fragile. The products quickly broke down. But they were repaired, repaired and were not going to part with the chandelier.
Functionality
The period when a global deficit reigned in our country has long since sunk into oblivion. Currently, manufacturers offer buyers a huge varietychoice of lighting fixtures. Price range and appearance may vary.
Cascading chandeliers may vary in size and shape. The most popular are oval, cone-shaped or elongated cascade chandelier. Diversity is also characterized by the choice of materials for manufacturing. Most often, manufacturers, of course, use crystal. But lamps made of glass and expensive plastic with the addition of semi-precious or precious stones are also in demand.

These are living rooms in country houses, halls of expensive restaurants and hotels, theaters, hotels, concert halls, etc. The product looks quite voluminous and bulky in small rooms.

Categories
According to the design style, all cascading chandeliers can be divided into two large categories.
- Classic. Such chandeliers, as a rule, are made of expensive natural and high-quality materials. Here, the correctness of the forms and the symmetry of all elements of the lighting device will immediately be evident. These chandeliers are the most popular. Products look expensive, rich, which attracts many buyers.
- Hi-Tech. In this case, instead ofexpensive crystal glass or any other materials are used. Prices for products are much lower than in the case of the classics. But, despite the cheapness, Hi-Tech chandeliers are in no way inferior to their crystal counterparts. They are also thoughtful, symmetrical, harmonious and have all the aesthetic characteristics.

The right choice
You need to choose a lighting fixture wisely. The same applies to cascading chandeliers. A balanced and competent choice of fixtures will ensure the correct perception of the interior as a whole.
For example, open or transparent shades can visually add space, which is important for rooms such as a living room or a hall. If you need to make the room visually smaller than it really is, then chandeliers-cascades in the form of a ball will come to the rescue. They are perfect for children's rooms and bedrooms.
If it is necessary to narrow the space, cascading chandeliers that are wide at the top and tapering downwards are used. In the interior of, say, a large hotel lobby, such a lamp is even necessary. Thanks to this technique, the interior will look complete, and not large and empty.
Many people are afraid to hang cascading lights in the house, asafraid of their bulkiness. But if the chandelier is chosen taking into account the ratio of the size of the room and the lamp itself, then such an opportunity will never happen.
Chandeliers for flights of stairs
Especially exciting and interesting task is the choice of lighting for a flight of stairs. A universal technique here will always be the use of a cascading chandelier. It will not only create a cozy atmosphere, correctly emphasize the interior, but will also illuminate your daily path with high quality.
As a rule, fixtures for flights of stairs have a fairly substantial length (from two to three meters). All of them are equipped with special fasteners (chains) for easy hanging. In order to ensure the maximum and correct level of lighting on the stairs, it is recommended to hang the chandelier as close to the ceiling as possible.
Only cascading chandeliers can create the illusion of a high ceiling and at the same time scatter charming, intriguing and incredible light rays in different directions. At the same time, stairs will no longer look so bulky and large-scale. They will no longer “eat up” the area, making the interior elegant and proportional.
