What man has not invented for hundreds of years in order to create and implement an exclusive interior in his house. Modern style elements of the room in the form of scenery, as a rule, create various innovations in design. What is meant by the phrase “various innovations”? Here, everything is quite simple. The embodiment of traditional architectural forms that adorned castles and palaces, chambers and royal lodges, often become an example for creating modern interior decorations. Considering them in more detail, it should be noted that now they are very often found in the design of chandeliers, namely in the forms of ceiling rosettes for chandeliers.
Sockets for a chandelier is not an innovation, on the one hand, since floral patterns, hand-made by great masters and architects, have long been decorating ceiling chandeliers in churches, churches, museums and other objects. However, on the other hand, reformatting the interior elements in the form of a socket for a ceiling chandelier is nothing but a modern attractive element for decorating any interior.
Today, the choice of sockets for chandeliers is very extensive. Their manufacture is embodied using various materials. It all depends on the ultimate goal of the decorated room style. So, the most common materials from which sockets are made:
- tree;
- Styrofoam;
- metal;
- gypsum.
Assessing the physical and chemical properties of the above materials, it should be noted that their choice to create a socket around the chandelier should correspond not only to the style of the chandelier, but also to the overall design of the room, hall or other room.
For example, wooden sockets for a chandelier, which can often be made using the handmade method, are ideal for hallways in wooden houses. A wooden staircase and the interior decoration of a wooden house can become an accompanying decorative element. This combination of decorative elements embodies an elegant and sophisticated style.
When considering a foam outlet under a chandelier, the following should be emphasized. This type of outlet is a more simplified option compared to wood, but it is used in room decoration at least, maybe even more often. This is due to the cheapness of the material and ease of manufacture. Often the modern high-tech style is isolated by polystyrene sockets. They lend themselves perfectly to coloring and take on the luster of all layers of paint and varnish applied to them. The same can be said about outlets made of polyurethane, because, by and large, polystyrene, polyurethane and polystyrene are one and the same.
Outlets made of plaster or metal also take place. But here you need to understand that the materials are very heavy, not only in the literal sense, but also in the fact that they are not easy to process. Metal sockets under the chandelier are rarely used for individual orders. They, as a rule, are a concomitant element in the design of a design containing elements of artistic forging. Undoubtedly, metal sockets for lighting fixtures are beautiful.
Plaster sockets for lighting are very popular in halls with high ceilings. For example, state institutions of the highest level, such as courtrooms and presidential rooms, are decorated with plaster decorative elements.
For many, marble outlets were an amazing discovery. This type of outlet can be classified as royal. However, they have also become popular lately.
The shapes of ceiling outlets can have a completely different appearance and size. Some of them are installed throughout the ceiling, while others are not large at all and occupy a small area above the chandelier. Nevertheless, the main forms of ceiling outlets under the chandelier are as follows:
- Medallions. This shape of the outlet has a classic look and is separated by complex ornamental elements of a rounded shape.
- Domes. Shape - concave, very often applicable on suspended ceilings. Helps create the effect of increasing space.
- Caissons. The main difference between this form of decoration and the previous ones is the presence of corners. That is, the shape of the caisson is a diamond-shaped, rectangular, square rosette.
So, what is better, a socket for a chandelier made of polystyrene or wood, metal or gypsum, and maybe marble? The answer to this rhetorical question may be one single argument - personal preferences of the owner of the premises to be equipped. But if you are guided by logical reasoning, then the most relevant option for the outlet will be one that is made of polystyrene, polystyrene, polyurethane. This is a very lightweight and relatively inexpensive material. It is easy to process, change color if necessary. In small apartments, country houses with hallways and medium-sized halls, these outlets can wonderfully decorate the room.
For huge houses, palaces or castles, metal, wooden or plaster sockets are perfect. Often they become a symbol of wealth and luxury, symbolize exclusivity and endless high cost.
In the end, a cut-out self-adhesive patterned film or a film painted with paint can become a socket for a lighting fixture in a room. Such sockets are also present in the catalogs of modern stores, which offer decorative elements for chandeliers.
