Entryway Chandeliers
The entryway is the area in your home that is generally located at the front entrance of your house. One of the best ways to make sure your entryway makes a positive first impression is to ensure it has good lighting while creating a safe and welcoming atmosphere for your guests.
Because of their exceptional design and functional ability to appropriately illuminate the area, entryway chandeliers can provide a lot of impact in this space. From modern and contemporary to industrial and minimalistic, chandeliers are sure to be a striking conversation piece.
At Zest lighting, we are pleased to add entryway chandeliers to our already extensive array of designer chandeliers in different designs and finishes. Browse our selection, find styles that perfectly suit your aesthetic, be it traditional, mid-century, or contemporary.
WHEN CHOOSING ENTRYWAY CHANDELIERS
The entryway chandelier is an excellent way to blend functionality and beauty. It instantly upgrades the look of your home and can be chosen to reflect the style of your space. Consider these tips when selecting the perfect chandelier for your entryway.
- Purpose: The entryway lighting should create an inviting atmosphere and set the tone for the rest of the home. Consider the design, layout, wattage, and style of the chandelier to match the entryway’s function.
- Size: Measure your entryway to ensure you select a chandelier that fits. Add the width and length of your entryway in feet. The sum gives you the chandelier's diameter in inches.
- Style: Choose a chandelier that complements the overall style of your home, whether it’s modern, farmhouse, coastal, or mid-century. A cohesive look enhances your space.
- Positioning: Consider the scale of the entryway and other features like furniture, artwork, or mirrors. Select a chandelier that complements the design and enhances the glow of the space.
- Height: The bottom of your chandelier should be at least 7 feet above the floor. For low ceilings, opt for a smaller fixture. For two-story entryways, a larger chandelier can create a stunning effect.
- Brightness: Larger spaces need more bulbs to adequately illuminate the area. For smaller spaces, ensure your chandelier provides sufficient light—typically 200 to 400 watts is ideal.
- Colours: Match your chandelier’s colour to your entryway’s colour scheme. Avoid clashing hues and opt for lighting that complements the existing decor.
- Installation: High ceilings often require structural reinforcements for heavy chandeliers. It’s best to hire a licensed electrician for safe and proper installation.
MAINTAINING AND CLEANING YOUR ENTRYWAY CHANDELIER
Regular maintenance and cleaning are essential to keep your entryway chandelier looking as stunning as the day you installed it. Different materials require different care methods to maintain their shine and longevity. Here’s a guide for cleaning various types of chandeliers.
- Crystal Chandeliers: Crystal chandeliers add sparkle but collect dust. Clean them by wiping gently with a soft, lint-free cloth. For a deep clean, remove the crystals, soak them in warm water with mild dish soap, and dry them with a soft cloth. Dust regularly with a feather duster to reduce the need for deep cleaning.
- Metal Chandeliers (Brass, Copper, Chrome): Metal chandeliers can tarnish. Brass can be cleaned with a vinegar and water mix or a brass cleaner. Copper can be polished with a copper cleaner or a lemon juice and baking soda paste. Chrome chandeliers should be cleaned with mild soapy water and buffed dry with a soft cloth.
- Glass Chandeliers: Glass chandeliers are delicate but easy to maintain. Dust them regularly with a microfiber duster, and clean with glass cleaner and a soft cloth. For stubborn grime, use a water and vinegar mix for a streak-free shine.
- Fabric Chandeliers: Fabric chandeliers require gentle care. Vacuum them regularly using a soft brush attachment. Spot clean stains with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid soaking the fabric, and ensure it dries fully before use.
- Wooden Chandeliers: Wooden chandeliers need careful cleaning to preserve their finish. Dust them regularly with a soft cloth and clean with a wood-safe cleaner when necessary. Avoid excess moisture, which can warp the wood.
Following these maintenance tips will help keep your chandelier looking fabulous and performing well for years to come. Regular cleaning is key, and with the right approach, you’ll preserve the beauty and functionality of your entryway chandelier.
