The chandelier has long been an indispensable lighting fixture for any Russian apartment or private house. We use pendant lights in the living room, bedroom, hallway and even the children's room. In this publication, we will try to figure out what models of chandeliers designers and homeowners use to create a modern, practical and beautiful interior of the kitchen space. Despite the active use of built-in lighting in modern kitchen design projects, for many owners of kitchens of various sizes and configurations, a chandelier remains an integral part of the lighting system and room decor.

The modern lighting market offers a lot of chandelier options for integration into kitchen spaces decorated in various stylistic directions. Every homeowner will be able to find his pendant lamp, suitable not only in design, but also in cost. The choice of a chandelier for the kitchen will depend on several factors:

• the dimensions of the room and, above all, the height of the ceilings;
• the location of the lamp (in the center of the room, above the dining area or kitchen island);
• the number of sources of natural light;
• the presence of other sources of artificial lighting (built-in lighting above work surfaces, wall sconces or suspended ceiling lamps);
• the location of the room in relation to the cardinal points;
• interior design style;
• your personal preferences in choosing a practical and beautiful device.

Chandelier classification

By type of construction and installation

Hanging chandelier- This is a lighting fixture that consists of one or more lampshades attached to a cord, string or chain. The name of the chandelier speaks for itself - the lamp is suspended from the ceiling. As a rule, the length of the string or chain can be adjusted and depends on the height of the ceilings and the expected effect of the luminaire when installed. Plafonds in such chandeliers can be made of glass, plastic, fabric and even paper. Of course, pendant chandeliers are produced in a wide variety of modifications, nothing prevents design ideas.

ceiling chandelier- This is an artificial lighting device mounted directly to the ceiling. This type of chandelier is ideal for rooms with low ceilings. Plafonds for ceiling lamps are also made of various materials, many models have decorative elements. The only inconvenience that ceiling lighting fixtures can deliver is that most often in such structures it is not possible to replace a light bulb without first removing the cover. But with modern energy-saving light bulbs that are designed for a long service life, this inconvenience is practically not a hassle.

By performance style

The style of execution of the chandelier does not always directly indicate the need to use the lighting device only in the interiors of the corresponding design. For example, a classic chandelier with a lot of decorative elements will be appropriate not only in a kitchen space decorated in a traditional style, but also in a room furnished in a contemporary style, for example. While an eco-style chandelier can bring a touch of originality to the kitchen, decorated in a modern style.

Classic chandelier- a pendant lamp, the appearance of which for many is associated with the very concept of "chandelier". This is one of the most popular and in many ways a versatile type of lighting fixture that looks organic in rooms with various functional loads, and kitchen spaces are no exception. The chandelier in the traditional style is elegant and beautiful, it is able to bring notes of festive mood, luxury and grace to any interior. Thin lines, brilliant decor, graceful shapes - in such lamps, bulbs are often stylized as small candles.

For the production of classic lamps, glass, crystal, fabric, metal and plastic are used with a spectacular imitation of glass surfaces. But, of course, the most popular raw material for the production of frames, shades and decorative elements is glass and crystal. crystal chandelier can rightfully be considered a separate (and very popular) type of pendant lamps that organically fit into many styles of interior design.

But a crystal chandelier is not a lamp for every room. In addition to matching the stylistic accessories of the interior, an important criterion for choosing a chandelier will be the height of the ceiling. Classic chandeliers are most often presented in fairly large sizes - even small models hang so low from the ceiling that, at a standard room height, they can become an obstacle to traffic. But even in this case, designers and homeowners find a way to use luxurious models of pendant lamps, placing them directly above the dining table.

A crystal chandelier differs from the traditional one in that it has a much larger number of decorative elements. Streams of light, reflected from the crystal surfaces, multiply and create a "cloud" of brilliance around the lamp. As a result, not only the lighting device, but the entire interior acquires a festive, solemn look.

A classic chandelier does not change much in design over time. This is a reliable investment - by purchasing an expensive crystal chandelier, you can be sure that the interior with such a lighting fixture will be relevant for a long time.

One of the variations of the classic chandelier is the lamp floristic type. Imitation of flowers, leaves and other plant elements in the design of the chandelier creates a fresh, light and spring-like festive appearance of the lighting fixture. Plafonds in the form of flower buds, decorative elements similar to leaves, thin connecting twigs-twigs: such models refresh the interior, bringing originality even to the most ordinary room.

Chandelier in style modern It is customary to call a lamp, the appearance of which is strikingly different from traditional devices. The name of the pendant lamp does not mean belonging to the style of modernism or modernism, but speaks of the original origin of the very principle of creating models of lighting fixtures, devoid of luxury and pathos. For modern, minimalist interiors, Art Nouveau lamps can be the perfect choice.

Art Nouveau chandeliers are also divided into subtypes. Among these models, you can also find avant-garde options, vintage, creative designer pendant lamps. Many of the original design models can not only decorate a modern interior, but also become its main highlight, a focal point around which the whole concept of designing a kitchen space is built.

Chandeliers in eco style do not cease to be popular for a long time. Natural materials and original design appeal to the owners of modern and "rustic" interiors. Kitchen spaces in country style, chalets and some varieties of modern style are transformed after the integration of original lamps made of wood and metal, twigs, twigs, paper or textiles.

According to color schemes

The simplest version of the chandelier in terms of color combinatorics is a transparent frame with similar decorative elements. Such a lighting fixture will organically fit into the interior with any color palette. A light, translucent chandelier will look great against a dark kitchen set or a bright, colorful finish. If you need to create a bright, light, casual look of the kitchen space without bright accents, then a colorless, crystal or glass lamp is perfect.

As opposed to translucent pendant lighting fixtures, modern stores offer dark models. Contrastingly dark colors of the base (lamp frame) or shades look great in the bright interior of the kitchen. The dark silhouette is especially clearly visible against the background of a light, snow-white kitchen set.

The classic dark glass chandelier is luxurious and dramatic at the same time. The interior of the kitchen with such a pendant lamp cannot but delight, surprise and bring a touch of solemnity to the mood.

A pendant lamp in a bright design is the highlight of a light or neutral room in terms of color choice. Just one colorful piece of furniture can bring uniqueness to the design of the kitchen, color variety, accent and a bright touch of positive.

A bright pendant lamp can be the only contrasting spot in the interior of the kitchen space or make an alliance with other room design items - furniture, other lighting fixtures, decorative elements.

Pendant lamps with a metallic sheen or chrome finish will be a great addition to a kitchen decorated in a modern style or high-tech style. At the same time, the modification of the chandelier can be any - stylized as a traditional or avant-garde style, with original shades or open light bulbs.

Place to install a chandelier

The most common place to mount a pendant light is in the center of the room. But this option of mounting the lighting system is suitable only for standard kitchen premises. If your kitchen is connected to the dining and living areas with an open floor plan, then a central chandelier won't be enough. Each functional area of ​​the room needs its own source of artificial light.

Even in a small kitchen space, one central chandelier will not be enough as a source of artificial lighting. At a minimum, it will be necessary to organize the illumination of work surfaces. Wall sconces and a central chandelier, made in the same style, will become a harmonious decoration of the kitchen interior, not to mention the main function of illuminating the segments of the room.

Above the kitchen island, you can hang a large chandelier even in a kitchen with a low ceiling. With this installation, you can be sure that no one will touch the head of a low-hanging chandelier with many decorative elements, and the room will look festively elegant.

The location of the chandelier above the dining table is another common way not only to illuminate the segment for eating, but also to zone the room. As a rule, in such cases, the working area of ​​​​the kitchen has its own light sources - built-in lighting in the lower part of the kitchen cabinets of the upper tier, lamps in the false ceiling or wall sconces.

A pair of identical pendant lights will not only provide your kitchen space (large sizes) with the necessary level of illumination at night, but also bring order and symmetry to the image of the room. Such chandeliers can be hung above the dining area and the island, on both sides of the latter, or in two sectors of the room - working and eating (it all depends on the shape and configuration of the room, layout, furniture arrangement)

Some creative ideas for a modern interior

In order to transform the most ordinary interior of the kitchen space, it is enough to purchase an original designer pendant lamp. An unusual chandelier (by color, design, choice of materials) will not only fulfill its main functions, but will also bring non-triviality to the interior, make it unforgettable, unique. We bring to your attention some interesting design projects of kitchen premises with original chandeliers.

A beautiful chandelier is not the most common, but very effective solution for the kitchen. It is she who can become the very highlight around which the design of your kitchen will be built. It is the chandelier that can make it truly unique, stylish, bright. Become an expressive touch and a final detail.

What chandelier to buy for the kitchen, what nuances to consider when choosing, photos of kitchens with chandeliers and an overview of offers in stores - see here.

Which chandelier to buy for the kitchen - choose a style

Let's figure out what is the secret to choosing the right chandelier for the kitchen and dining room. A chandelier is a special type of suspended ceiling lamp, which consists of several lamps. This is its main difference from all other lighting fixtures.

First of all, you should decide what role the chandelier will play in your kitchen. Will it be the main source of light or will it primarily serve as an element of decor?

As a rule, the main criterion for choosing a chandelier is the style in which the interior of your kitchen or dining room is made. So, when choosing a chandelier for the kitchen, you should focus primarily on furniture - a kitchen set and a dining group.

• • For a modern style kitchen, you can choose chandelier modern- creative form, made of ultra-modern materials. It can be laconic and functional lamps, balls, cubes, cylinders, and spectacular designer chandeliers.

• • In a classic-style kitchen, traditional chandeliers with pendants crystal, clear or colored glass. Also, designers often use classic chandeliers with fabric shades. However, it is advisable to hang both those and other lamps only in the dining area, and preferably in the kitchen-living room or dining room. If you hang such a chandelier in a small kitchen or close to the cooking area, the shades will get dirty faster.

• • Country cuisine, Provence or traditional Italian style is worth decorating forged chandelier with light bulbs - "candles". Chandeliers with an artificially aged surface that resembles old silver or bronze will look very harmonious in a country-style kitchen.

• In interiors made in ethnic styles (Japanese, etc.), the corresponding ethno lamps- stylized Japanese chandeliers made of wood with rice paper lampshades, Moroccan lanterns, stained glass models and the like.

However, designers are advised to listen to fashion trends and show more imagination. It is not at all necessary that the style of the chandelier perfectly matches the style of the kitchen.

Very popular in interior design eclecticism and fusion style, which is a mix of elements from different styles. And a crystal chandelier can look very relevant and unusual both in a high-tech kitchen and in a minimalist modern interior.

Playing with contrasts is a win-win way to make the kitchen interior spectacular and expressive. Look very stylish chandeliers for the kitchen of a classical form made of technological materials. They are amazingly functional and allow you to achieve very unusual decorative effects.

Chandelier in the kitchen - the subtleties of placement

1. The size of the chandelier primarily depends on the height of the ceiling and the dimensions of your kitchen. The lower the ceiling and the smaller the area of ​​​​the room, the more flat and compact the luminaire should be. For a small-sized kitchen, chandeliers with miniature shades are optimal, which seem to “press” against the ceiling, or overhead chandeliers-plates. Experts call such lamps ceiling-mounted.
2. If the chandelier in your kitchen will be the main source of main light, you should place it in the center of the ceiling. This works great if the kitchen is small. In more spacious modern kitchens with a dedicated dining area, a chandelier in the middle of the ceiling will illuminate the center of the room, which is most often empty. Therefore, placing a chandelier in the dining area looks more reasonable. In any case, local illumination is indispensable. You will definitely need additional lamps above the worktop and in the dining area. Read more about the intricacies of kitchen lighting,
3. A good option is to place the chandelier over the center of the dining table. It is important that the light in this case is not too bright, does not irritate the eyes, but provides good illumination of the dining area.
   Important: the chandelier should not hang lower than 1.2-1.4 meters from the table surface, otherwise the lighting will not be comfortable enough.
4. If the dining area in your home is part of the living room, studio space or a separate room, and the dining table is large enough, it is better to hang two small chandeliers above it. Lighting will be more uniform, and the interior will become more interesting.
5. A good option for the kitchen is a modern elongated chandelier, rather than the usual rounded shape. In such a lamp, several lamps are placed in one line, more evenly illuminating a large area.
6. If the kitchen-dining room is large enough, one chandelier can be placed above the dining group, the second - above the bar.

Do not forget about safety. For the kitchen, chandeliers and lamps with increased protection against dust and splashes are best suited. Keep in mind: chandeliers with textile and paper lampshades are not suitable for the kitchen. They get dirty faster. In addition, they usually use low-power lamps. If you use a more powerful light bulb, the lampshade may catch fire.

In the kitchen-dining room, a chandelier is very convenient, which has two groups of lamps with independent switching. Horns and lampshades pointing down are responsible for local lighting. Light bulbs pointing upwards provide general light.

Technical nuances

It is ideal to use a special switch with a light intensity regulator in the kitchen. It will help you adjust the brightness of the light depending on the time of day, the situation or your mood.

A practical solution is chandeliers with a remote control (RC). Often they are equipped with modern LED chandeliers. This option allows you to turn on / off the light or adjust its brightness with one touch of a button, without getting up from your seat. This is especially convenient in studio apartments or kitchen-living rooms.

In modern chandeliers, as a rule, four types of lamps are used:

• traditional incandescent lamp
• fluorescent energy-saving lamps
• miniature halogen lamps
• light-emitting diodes (LED).

Many designers recommend using a chandelier with conventional incandescent bulbs in the kitchen. It is believed that they give a warmer and more pleasing to the eye color. The food in it looks more appetizing, and the kitchen-dining room itself seems much more comfortable.

However, modern energy-saving lamps and LEDs are also able to shine bright and at the same time comfortable warm light. At the same time, they are much more economical than incandescent bulbs (they consume about five times less energy) and last much longer.

Compact LED and halogen chandeliers visually make the ceiling appear higher.

It is worth thinking about the further maintenance of the lamp. When choosing a chandelier for your kitchen, make sure that you can easily find replacement lamps for it that match the shape, size and specifications, such as the type of base.

Another important nuance: halogen and LED chandeliers require the mandatory installation of transformers that lower the voltage. This design is usually hidden behind a suspended or stretch ceiling.

Important
The choice of a chandelier largely depends on the type of ceiling finish. If you decide to make a stretch ceiling in the kitchen, then you should not buy a lamp with halogen bulbs. In addition, cheap light bulbs often shine with a cold light, making food unappetizing and depriving the kitchen of comfort.

Manufacturers Overview

Traditionally, the reputation of the best chandeliers - both classic and modern - is enjoyed by products of European manufacturers. According to experts, in addition to excellent quality and environmental friendliness, chandeliers from Europe are distinguished by many years of tradition and stylish design.

Chandeliers from Italy, Germany, Spain, Belgium, Austria, USA, Finland enjoy a good reputation in the Russian market. As a rule, kitchen chandeliers are rarely frilly, so it is quite possible to find quality European fixtures at very reasonable prices. More budgetary, but at the same time high-quality models are offered by Polish and Czech manufacturers.

A significant part of the assortment of online light stores is occupied by inexpensive lamps from China, Taiwan, and Turkey. As a rule, they are inferior to the products of Western European companies both in design and quality. But there are also many exceptions. China is also different. In this case, you should focus on the reliability of the seller. A Chinese chandelier purchased in a good store may well serve you faithfully for many years.

To buy a good chandelier for the kitchen, you should pay attention to large specialized online stores or large online stores offering home goods.

As a rule, their assortment in them is impressive (much more than in ordinary stores). The vast majority of popular brands are represented: Blitz, Favorite, Mw-light, Maytoni, Wunderlicht (all from Germany), ArteLamp, IDLamp, Lightstar (Italy), Massive (Belgium), Elite Bohemia and Preciosa (Czech Republic), Mantra (Spain), Omnilux, Eurosvet, LuceSolara (China).

Prices are often lower than in regular stores, plus serious competition forces them to offer discounts, bonuses and convenient services for customers. You can find very stylish and unusual models on the net, but you should make sure that the manufacturer and seller have a good reputation.

Before you buy a chandelier in an online store, you can ask the seller for quality certificates confirming that the luminaires are certified for Russian power grids. It's good if there is confirmation that the store is an official dealer of large manufacturers: many sellers post such information directly on the site.

Avant-garde is a bold, bright, memorable style. The literal translation of this word from French is "a detachment moving forward."

And despite the fact that the avant-garde was born at the end of the twentieth century, to this day it is something extraordinary, striking, but not devoid of taste.

In rooms designed in this direction, large, brightest details should be present. Or furniture, or accessories, or chandeliers. What exactly to focus on is up to you to decide, but one can say for sure such a thing: you can’t overdo it.

If you have a lot of catchy elements even without chandeliers, then the lighting should be chosen more neutral and not attracting attention. For example, as in these photos:

But if there is no search with other elements, then you need to select a bright, large and unusual chandelier, which will become the center of the composition. For example, like here:

Please note that geometric shapes are welcome, not classic shades.

Chandeliers for the kitchen in the style of "Surrealism"

Surrealism can be described briefly - illusory. A clear idea of ​​​​the style can be obtained by looking at the sofa, which was created by Salvador Dali. Here it is, in the form of lips:

That is, the style is interesting and welcomes the presence of things that look strange in their intended purpose. For example, chandeliers from cutlery are very suitable:

Or like this:

In general: the worse, the more fashionable. And don't be put off by the presence of drums in the kitchen. Indeed, in surrealism, the main thing is to amaze and cause a resonance.

Chandeliers in the style of "Constructivism" and "Cubism"

These styles are twins. Their symbol is large, geometric shapes that look rather cumbersome, illogical and even strange. The feeling of such a room, as if he had fallen into the kingdom of broken mirrors.

Chandeliers for the kitchen in this style must also be selected to match. Any figures will do, the main thing is that they are strict, angular and no frills. For example, these are:

There is no need to focus on lighting, since walls and furniture made in this style are already quite expressive.

Chandeliers for the kitchen in the style of "Minimalism" and "Hi-Tech"

These styles are also somewhat similar. They are distinguished by their half-empty space, a minimum of furniture, and the absence of accessories. Simplicity, comfort and nothing more.

The only thing that is allowed in hi-tech is elements that embody high technology and progress, which can be expressed in any interior details.

And minimalism does not imply anything special, its only goal is to show how little a person needs to be happy. In a word, these styles are ardent opponents of the so-called "philistinism".

These chandeliers will be appropriate in this case:

And of course, spotlights are the best fit here, which may well replace chandeliers, especially, according to those who advocate this style, ceiling lamps are superfluous: just dust collectors, no more.

Chandeliers for the kitchen in the style of "Grunge" and "Loft"

And here we combined two styles into one block, since they contain similar elements: bare walls without any decor.

But, there is still a difference in them, and you need to select a chandelier for the kitchen, starting from which of these styles you have, since this is important in terms of logic.

Grunge originated a long time ago, at the beginning of the 20th century, at a time when the French aristocracy moved to country houses that had not yet been fully equipped. With them they brought a variety of, pretentious and chic furniture, which was placed in rooms without repair.

This interior was a marvelous sight: expensive, classic carved sofas, armchairs upholstered in silk, ornate copper chandeliers…. And all this against the backdrop of a simple frame. It looked something like this:

But the “loft” is a bit from a different opera and pursues a different idea, despite the fact that tattered walls are also held in high esteem there.

The fact is that it appeared due to the fact that in the 40s of the last century, in Manhattan, there were such exorbitant housing prices for mere mortals that they came up with a way out: to occupy the attics of industrial premises and settle down there.

Actually, the translation of this word sounds literally - an attic.

And the "new settlers" were not at all embarrassed by their housing, but, on the contrary, in every possible way emphasized the industrialization tone in the room. And in the end, they infected the whole world with the idea. So, the "loft" involves the deliberate exposure of communications, wires, pipes and all sorts of elements of an unfinished construction site.

That is why, beautiful, expensive chandeliers of a classic look are suitable for “grunge”, but for a “loft” they are completely different. For example, these are:

Chandeliers for the kitchen in the styles of "Kitch", "Boho" and "Eclectic"

And these styles are sisters! Or brothers? As you wish, it's not the point. What unites them is that they combine the incompatible. For example, the word "kitsch" is familiar to everyone, but they use it in the sense of bad taste.

But in fact, the word -to means that it is an incongruous mixture. Eclecticism is also interesting because any style can be combined in it: classic, ethnic, modern. And there’s nothing to say about “Boho” at all, this is gypsy chic in which there should be more and brighter everything.

So what kind of chandeliers for the kitchen are suitable in this case? Yes, almost any! The only thing, do not forget that these styles are not hyper-modern, but vintage. Therefore, the chandelier must correspond to the spirit of the times.

Here is an example of how chandeliers look in the interiors of kitchens of a similar direction:

In these photos, all styles and you can see that they are quite similar. The first two images are eclectic, the third is boho, and the last is kitsch.

Chandeliers for the kitchen in eco-style

Eco-style involves the presence of wicker furniture and all kinds of natural accessories. Chandeliers for such a kitchen can also be made from natural materials: from vines, boards, cart wheels. And there may be ordinary ones, just without pretensions for chic and high cost.

Here are photos in which you can see options suitable for this style:

Chandeliers for the kitchen in any rustic style

You understand that French country is not Russian country. Each of the styles corresponds to the spirit of the time that it reproduces, moreover, in the region where it actually comes from.

The only thing that unites them is that they are stylized in antiquity, and not in the current interiors of modern villages.

Choosing a chandelier for the kitchen in this case is quite simple: look at any of these directions and choose something suitable. For example, forged elements are inherent in Provence, but the Russian hut is a torch. So choose something that symbolizes the era.

Our article has come to an end and now you know exactly how to choose a chandelier for your kitchen in a modern style!

In modern interior design, every detail matters. Whether it's a chair or a wall clock, it doesn't matter. One incorrectly selected element and that's it - the harmony is broken! Chandeliers in the kitchen in a modern style require the same attention as the facade itself or even the exterior finish, for example.

What kind of chandelier to choose in the kitchen? We'll find out today. Get ready, there will be a lot of creative ideas!

Chandeliers in the interior of the kitchen

As for the location of the chandelier in the kitchen, there are several nuances and rules.

• Get creative

In Soviet kitchens, chandeliers were usually located right in the center of the room. At that time, no one bothered about their design and they served as the only source of alternative lighting. Time passed, but even now, many housewives have a tendency to an amorphous attitude towards kitchen chandeliers.

Remember, light accents in design are very important! With their help, you can create a pleasant atmosphere and visually enlarge the room.

ADVICE: place hanging chandeliers in the interior of the kitchen so that they are in the dining area or above the kitchen island (if any). Above the work surface, it is better to use spot lighting (bulbs "eyes").

• Be mindful of size

In a small kitchenette, a huge Victorian chandelier is unlikely to be appropriate. Consider this.

In this case, it is better to purchase several ceiling lamps and place them to your liking.

• Comfort and safety

Be that as it may, the kitchen is a workplace. This means that the chandelier will quickly become dirty, dusty and covered with grease. Try to choose lamps of such a design that you can take care of them without any problems.

Chandeliers with fan for kitchen

If practicality is your thing, opt for a hybrid design. Kitchen fan chandeliers are a functional classic that will never go out of style.

Advantages:

• Accelerates the air, causing it to circulate evenly throughout the kitchen.
• Easy to install.
• Trouble-free in operation. It does not require special care.

Disadvantages:

• Not suitable for stretch ceilings as the vibration sound of the fan motor will be amplified. This can create unpleasant sound effects.

Wooden chandeliers for the kitchen

Very trendy and modern solution. The shape and design of wooden lamps are quite diverse. This means that they will fit almost any interior.

A good solution would be to install wooden chandeliers for the kitchen in the style of rustic, eco, Scandinavian, steampunk, loft, etc.

Crystal chandelier in the kitchen

Crystal is a very fragile and delicate material. It is rarely used in the interior of the kitchen, but if you are sure that the design of the kitchen space will not be completed without such a chandelier, go ahead, to new achievements!

So, a crystal chandelier in the kitchen is suitable for Art Nouveau, Biedermeier, Venetian, vintage and Italian styles. Alternative designs of crystal lamps can harmoniously fit into a modern style or even high-tech.

Best of all, a crystal chandelier will look over the dining table. This will give the interior lightness and extra chic.

Chandelier with lampshade for the kitchen

A fairly common solution for the kitchen. However, be aware that a fabric lampshade will get dirty quickly, so try to choose a material that is easy to care for.

ATTENTION: due to its structure, the lampshade chandelier does not diffuse light well. If you have made a choice in favor of just such a design, you should provide additional sources of lighting for the kitchen.

A chandelier with a lampshade for the kitchen is suitable for styles: boho, modern, Biedermeier, Provence and vintage.

High-tech chandelier in the kitchen

Such chandeliers can be safely called masterpieces. Just look how they enliven the interior, adding that very zest to the kitchen!

Incredible streamlined shapes, metal shades and LED lamps immerse you in the space atmosphere of the high-tech age.

ADVICE: for a high-tech kitchen, choose a huge pendant chandelier on thin metal cords. This will give the impression that the structure is floating in the air. Great visual effect!

Chandelier in the kitchen on a stretch ceiling

Chandeliers in the kitchen in a modern style can be installed on a stretch ceiling as well. There are almost no contraindications. There are only two things to consider - these are the types of mounting and the distance of the lamps from the ceiling itself.

In the first case, the chandelier should be mounted on a stretch ceiling on a mounting hook or special strips. In the second, it is very important to remember that if ordinary incandescent lamps are installed too close to the ceiling surface, they can ruin it. Choose from LED or LED lighting.

The beauty of stretch ceilings is that the light from the lamp is reflected on its glossy surface, beautifully dispersing around the entire perimeter of the kitchen.

ADVICE: make a choice in favor of chandeliers that will direct light to the ceiling as well.
