Chandeliers in the bathroom

The bathroom is a special room of the dwelling, therefore its atmosphere should be similar. Lighting plays a key role in the design of this room and its main element is the central luminaire. Chandeliers in the bathroom are a functional design technique, combining the main purpose and aesthetic load.

Modern bathroom fixtures are far from conservatism, which was previously obeyed. Today, these accessories look very different and solve several problems, they are:

• light up the room;
• create a visual effect of space;
• accentuate the desired area of ​​the room;
• set the tone for the basic idea of ​​design.

Most of them are practical and safe products, which are the central lamp and have additional lighting. Chandeliers in the bathroom provide the right type of lamps and the optimal choice of luminous flux power.

Modern central bathroom lamp is unique and has a lot of advantages, it:

• made from a variety of raw materials on professional equipment using modern production technologies;
• has a rich model range, characterized by a variety of forms, allowing each buyer to find the right solution for the composition of the interior composition;
• differs in a various color palette that is convenient for selection of a product in a tone to an existing situation or adding of light spots;

• It has a lot of sizes, which allows you to choose the appropriate fixture for rooms of different sizes (especially important for small-sized bathrooms);
• it can be open or closed, which is convenient for placement and, depending on the ceiling height, allows you to position the product of a different type of installation;
• has a wide variation in the number of used light sources, allowing you to change the degree of intensity of the light flux, taking into account the most comfortable conditions for the retina and optic nerve;
• Based on their complexity of the model, the type of raw materials used, they differ in cost, which allows them to find an approach to each client, taking into account budgetary possibilities and taste preferences.

Waterproof models - a separate line of modern bathroom fixtures. When water enters, they do not blink like classic counterparts, turn on without problems and do not sparkle. Outwardly, to distinguish them from the usual varieties is difficult: the trick of protection is hidden inside.

The main disadvantage of chandeliers for the bathroom is the fact that not all are resistant to moisture. Some of them quickly fail. Not all models of chandeliers of this type imply the replacement of lamps: some of them do not provide for repair at all, which, if a light bulb fails, causes other lamps to stop working (in models with a serial circuit).

The disadvantage of some products is open lamp type. Trademarks often offer options for lighting,which can not always be called suitable for a wet room: water vapor spreads throughout the room, especially if its area is small. Given the special love of some households for hot water, the room creates a dangerous atmosphere.

Not all bathroom fixtures look like chandeliers in the usual sense. Today, the term refers to more than one variation in the form of a massive accessory with lots of lampshades. Existing types of bathroom fixtures are classified according to the type of installation, which is:

• suspended;
• near surface.

Each species has its own characteristics:

• Models suspended plan These are lighting devices that are attached to the ceiling by means of a chain, rod or other suspension. Most often these are complex structures that require high ceilings and room space. They are inappropriate in the interior of small bathrooms, as they create the illusion of space reduction and are dangerous in case of contact with water.
• Surface Options they are good because they are located close to the ceiling surface, they do not have complex multi-level and design techniques with too much decor. They are often strictly functional, although there is an element of stylistics in them. It is created through the use of a unique material or a particular form.

Both those and other models are ceiling, although today many varieties of the surface plan are considered to be simultaneously wall-mounted. This applies to closed-type luminaires with a single canopy (mostly round or square). Basically, central bathroom lighting fixtures are more often used along with additional light sources, in the role of which are spotlights, wall lamps and LED lamps in the form of a tape.

The model range of products is based on two principles: practicality and beautiful appearance. At the same time the style of products allows a lot of opportunities to create a special design idea. The most interesting forms of the form include products in the form:

• soap bubbles;
• laconic bowl;
• closed semicircle;
• rectangular convex plate;
• flat pill;
• single flower with the middle in the form of a disk;
• laconic ball.

Products may have a directional light, depending on the functionality, capable of changing the color of the hue of the glow (yellow, white, blue, green, red, blue, purple and others). This allows you to bring into the space of a particular room a different mood and aesthetic perception.

The raw materials for the production of these chandeliers are diverse and not much different from the usual analogues. However, if classical techniques allow the development of models using chrome-plated fittings, as well as glass and crystal, special models allow the manufacture of plastic and wood, less often - metal.

The first material is used to a minimum, since a contact can occur with contact with water. Wood - the best option case. To give it a more interesting look it is painted with special dyes.

Plastic - one of the main components of the chandeliers for the bathroom, it has excellent practical and qualitative characteristics. but this material is often performed in violation of technology, which reduces the life of fixtures. Glass - a good option for the ceiling, scatters the luminous flux of lamps as accurately as possible, without reducing the degree of its intensity.

Crystal for such rooms is a demonstration of luxury, therefore, these lamps are decorated with spacious bathrooms, often representing large rooms that combine a bathroom and toilet.

Despite assurances from manufacturers of light sources of their exclusivity, not every type of light bulb is suitable for a bathroom. Of all the varieties for the bathroom are suitable only LED and halogen lamps. The first ones are environmentally friendly, they do not heat the flask and the surface of the ceiling, therefore they imply any type of mounting without harming the ceiling material (important for stretch ceilings or plastic).

They are distinguished by minimal energy consumption and do not harm human health; they do not emit mercury vapors into the air as energy-saving (luminescent) analogues. These lamps are unique in a wide range of color waves, although sometimes they are dominated by a cold blue tone, which is harmful to the eyes, and when suppressed it flies out of the palette.

The second light sources are somewhat different from the filament, in comparison with which they convert more energy into the luminous flux, they shine brightly and are resistant to constant switching on and off. They do not heat as much as the filaments, are designed to work up to 5000 hours, have a temperature of light close to natural light.

Color solutions for bathroom fixtures adhere to predominantly light shades, indicated by dark strokes. It can be a white model, framed with black stripes, a forging design or bronze with white shades, a ball-shaped product with transparent glass.

Dressing models depends on the chosen style. In some cases, enough of the chrome parts and the ceiling with a matte surface, in others allowed the scope of imagination. In this case, decorator reception is divided into two areas:

• creating a unique form;
• decoration of the product by means of decorative elements.

The first models are chandeliers with a minimum of finish (maximum, it can be a gold-plated strip or chrome-plated detail). The second welcome elements of forging, a variety of lace, candles, crystal drops, glass balls.

The style of chandeliers for the bathroom is multifaceted and allows you to enter into the existing interior model of the most unusual forms. Bathroom chandeliers are appropriate in a classic and modern style, among which are especially attractive:

• classic;
• modern;
• minimalism;
• high tech;

• Art Deco;
• rococo;
• avant-garde;
• glamor

Drawing up the interior of the bathroom is a special topic that requires creativity, taking into account human security, the nuances of a particular room, the height of the ceiling and the degree of illumination (some bathrooms are no different from living rooms, having windows). To understand how to harmoniously fit the central lamp into the interior, You can pay attention to the beautiful examples of design:

• A pendant model with candles and crystal decoration is appropriate in accenting the mirror, complemented by other lamps.
• The Indian-style bathroom can be lit with a chandelier with forging elements and laconic candles, supporting the design of the lamp with additional lighting in the form of wall sconces, located symmetrically on both sides of the mirror.

• The eight-hinged chandelier with a metal decor will harmoniously fit into the interior of neutral paints diluted with gold: for a relevant infusion into the style, she needs only a shade of metal and the warm glow of lamps.
• Designer chandeliers-balls will help illuminate the modern style bathroom: they can be placed around the perimeter of the room, however, you should pay attention to the height of the hanger (it should not be too large).

• Those who like a muffled atmosphere can decorate the ceiling area above the Jacuzzi with a concise LED chandelier with changing the color of the lamps: this will help to accent the bath zone and give it a relaxed atmosphere.
• If the style of the interior provides a large pattern, you should choose a concise flat chandelier or even two, but small in size: supplemented with spotlights in the same style, they will illuminate the bath area and not interrupt the construction of the interior composition.
