Outdoor Chandeliers

Outdoor chandeliers are light fixtures that are not just meant indoor but for areas outside your house as well. They can be installed in gazebos, huts, lanais, terraces and can even be hung from trees. These light fixtures are elegant and add a touch of class to the overall look of your home. Picking the right chandelier will involve a number of factors, and here are some of them:

Size

The size of the outdoor chandelier is very important. It should match theĀ  area where you plan to install it. You may only need a small, compact chandelier for a small hut, for example; a larger area on the other hand will definitely need a bigger one.

Shape

The shape of the chandelier should also be taken into consideration. Outdoor areas with lower ceilings may require a wider chandelier. Longer chandeliers are perfect for places with steep roofs or higher ceilings.

Number

Depending on the area space, some areas may only require one outdoor chandelier while others may require two or more. Or, you may need to install mounted lights in order to add . Some areas can do with a four light unit, while others may need more as much as ten lights to be properly illuminated.

Functionality

Not all chandeliers work the same. An outdoor candle chandelier, for example, may look very pretty and rustic. However, it may not give as much light as your typical electric chandelier. Survey the area where you plan to have the chandelier installed. Will the area be used regularly? Does it plenty of lighting? Sometimes you may need to forego functionality all in the sake of style or vice versa.

Design

Outdoor chandelier lighting come in numerous design elements. These elements can range from either rustic or modern. Some designs are European inspired while others are American themed.
