Chandeliers with fabric lampshades create a soft, pleasant diffused light that more familiar glass shades are not capable of. The correct cylindrical or conical shape allows you to distribute the light in the room as evenly as possible, so the room becomes comfortable and more convenient. Silk, linen, cotton, polyester, nylon and other synthetic materials are used for the production of lampshades.
Correct bulbs
In chandeliers with a fabric lampshade, it is advisable to use not outdated incandescent lamps, but modern, high-tech energy-saving light bulbs, such as LEDs. They heat up much less, so the fabric does not turn yellow and lasts much longer. In this case, rhinestones and other decorations can be glued to the lampshade, as they will not deteriorate under the influence of high temperature.
When choosing a lamp, be sure to follow the manufacturer's recommendations and do not exceed the recommended parameters!
What colorprefer?
When choosing the color of a ceiling chandelier with a lampshade, it is important to consider the overall palette of the room. There are two color options, each of which is good in its own way. The luminaire can repeat one of the existing shades, for example, the color of curtains, furniture upholstery or wallpaper. In this case, the design remains neutral, calm and restrained; additional bright decor items can be used indoors. In order for the chandelier to serve as a decoration for the decor, and not just a source of light, choose bright, contrasting options.
It is also necessary to take into account the influence of the color of the chandelier on the quality of lighting. Dark lampshades look stylish, fill the room with an aura of mystery, but make the light dim, gloomy. Such models are recommended for use in rooms with light walls in order to provide both a beautiful contrast and a normal level of illumination. Black lampshades will be appropriate in the living room, while burgundy and purple fabrics are more versatile, they can also be used in the bedroom.
Suspended chandeliers with a light-colored lampshade provide a fairly bright, but diffused light, so they are more preferable in living rooms. In the event that you still need to apply a dark, contrasting element, use a chandelier with a dark base.
Styles and trends
Classic-style lampshade chandeliers have a graceful frame adorned with swirls and crystal pendants. Such products look good in spacious rooms with high ceilings. For a standard city apartment, a ceiling chandelier on a short rod, with a minimum amount of decor, would be more appropriate. A room decorated in country, shabby chic or Provence style will be decorated with a vintage chandelier with a lampshade. She will emphasize the exquisite charm of the room and give it a twist.
The urban trend is gaining popularity, so it's easy to choose a loft-style chandelier. Laconic, durable and unusual model will also decorate a minimalist interior.
Chandelier with lampshade for kitchen
The model with a fabric lampshade makes the kitchen incredibly cozy, but not very practical: textiles are difficult to wash from soot and splashes of grease. It is also not recommended to hang chandeliers with an abundance of decorative details in the kitchen, because it is extremely difficult to care for them. The chandelier must be placed as far as possible from the stove, and the working area should be illuminated with point light sources. In this case, it will be comfortable to work in the kitchen, and the dining area, where the whole family gathers in the evenings, will be lit with a pleasant, soft light. It is undesirable to use dark and dense materials here, light linen, cotton or modern synthetics are most preferred. Such lampshades perfectly transmit light and flood the room with scattered rays.
