A bit of history

Ceiling lamps cascade type first appeared in the Middle Ages. From crystal, cascading chandeliers began to make in the middle of the nineteenth century in England. And since then they are considered a sign of luxury, wealth and high status of the owner of the house.

The cascade chandelier was also a subject of pride and an indicator of prosperity in the Soviet Union. They cost such models cheaply, but getting them was quite problematic. The materials from which these fixtures were made then were fragile enough and fragile. Products quickly went out of order. But they repaired, repaired and parted with the chandelier was not going to.

Cascade chandeliers can vary in size and shape. The most popular oval, cone-shaped or elongated chandelier-cascade. A variety is characterized by the choice of materials for manufacturing. Most often, manufacturers, of course, use crystal. But also lamps from glass and expensive plastic with addition of semiprecious or precious stones are in demand.

Most often, crystal cascade chandeliers can be seen in rooms where the ceiling height exceeds a three-meter mark. These are the living rooms in the country houses, the halls of expensive restaurants and hotels, theaters, hotels, concert halls, etc. The product looks quite bulky and bulky in small rooms. But in a spacious high hall it will be a real decoration of the interior.

Correctly selected lighting fixtures-cascades are able not only to illuminate the room, but also to change the external perception of the existing design.

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 shapes and the symmetry of all the elements of the lighting device will immediately strike the eye. Such chandeliers are most popular. Products look expensive, rich, which attracts many buyers.
• Hi-Tech. In this case, instead of expensive crystal glass is used or any other materials. The prices for products are much lower than in the case of classics. But, despite the cheapness, chandeliers in the style of Hi-Tech are in no way inferior to crystal analogs. They are also thought out, symmetrical, harmonious and have all aesthetic characteristics. In addition, the products are much more diverse in form and color. And thanks to modern technology, such a cascade ceiling chandelier is also equipped with a remote control. With its help you can adjust the necessary level of lighting. It is convenient, practical and economical.

Right choice

Choose a lighting device with the mind. The same goes for cascading chandeliers. A weighted and competent choice of fixtures will ensure a correct perception of the interior in general.

For example, open or transparent ceiling can visually add space, which is important for such premises as a living room or a hall. If you need to make the room visually less than it really is, then help come chandelier cascades in the form of a ball. They are perfect for children's rooms and bedrooms.

If necessary, narrow the space used wide in the upper part and narrowing down the cascading chandeliers. In the interior of, say, a large hotel lobby, such a fixture is even necessary. Thanks to this technique, the interior will look finished, not large and empty.

Many are afraid to hang cascading lamps in the house, because they are afraid of their cumbersomeness. But if the chandelier is chosen taking into account the ratio of the size of the room and the lamp itself, then such an occasion will never happen.

Chandeliers for staircases

A particularly exciting and interesting task is to choose a lighting device for the stairwell. A universal technique here will always be the use of a cascade chandelier. It will not only create a cozy atmosphere, properly emphasize the interior, but also will qualitatively illuminate your daily path.

As a rule, lighting fixtures for stairwells have a rather significant length (from two to three meters). All of them are equipped with special fasteners (chains) for convenient suspension. 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.

To create the illusion of a high ceiling and at the same time scatter cunning, intriguing and incredible light rays in different directions only cascading chandeliers are capable. Stairs in this case will not look so bulky and large-scale. They will no longer "eat" the area, making the interior elegant and proportionate.

Pleases the fact that the design of chandeliers for staircases is very diverse. You can find both strict classical forms, and find the chic modernity, illusory futurism or the charm of floral compositions.
