				Chandeliers are an important design element in the home that bring both fashion and function to a space.  Lighting defines and accentuates the ambiance you want to create in your home by creating either a soft and relaxing space, or a bright and productive space.  Just like colors, the lighting you choose for a space can drastically affect the way you feel, see, and perform tasks in a room. 

Once you decide where you would like to hang a chandelier, you will need to determine the size you need, how to hang it, and what style will fit your decor. Here are a few hints to help you choose the perfect chandelier:

Size

  • If you are hanging a chandelier in the center of a room, like the entryway or foyer, the best way to determine size is to add the length of the room and the width together, change that number into inches, and that gives you the maximum diameter for your chandelier.
  • For example, if your space is 10' long by 16' wide, add those together for 26', and change that to inches - that gives you a maximum diameter chandelier of 26".

Chandelier Sizing Rules | Design Tip: Sizing & Hanging Chandeliers  #chandeliers #cottagechandeliers #cottagelighting #coastalchandeliers #designtip https://www.cottagehomefurniture.com Image: Beneath My Heart

  • To determine the best size chandelier to place above your dining table, take the width of your table and subtract 12" - that gives you the maximum width for your chandelier.
  • For example, if your table is 72" long x 40" wide, subtracting 12" from 40" gives you a maximum width of 28" for your chandelier.

Hanging

  • If the chandelier is suspended in the center of a room, like the foyer or living room, than you want the base of your chandelier to be no less than 7 feet from the floor.  This allows ample height for walking without interfering with head room.

  • If the chandelier is suspended over a dining table or kitchen island, than you want to allow 30" - 36" from the surface of the table to the base of the chandelier.  This allows ample room to see across the table without your line of vision being interrupted by the lighting fixture.

This coastal style cottage is located right up the coast in Kennebunk, Maine!  The architect, designer, and home owner collaborated tirelessly to design this home that "aims to stay in the family for generations to come." 

The plush upholstery and deep set frames invite people to really curl up and get comfortable.  Not to mention the abundance of throw pillows and blankets that enhance the casual and comfortable style.  Being a true beach cottage, this home needs to be as practical as it is pretty!  The designer chose Sunbrella fabrics for the slipcovered living room furniture, which is a perfect solution for areas that will encounter wet bathing suits, food, drinks, and direct sun.  They chose a vinyl upholstery on the game table chairs for the same low maintenance solution.  You want to spend your time enjoying what Maine has to offer without the constant worry that someone might spill a drink!

What is your favorite element in this Maine cottage?

Creating a simple and elegant coastal style nook is easy if you have the right pieces!  A nook is any small space in your home that is tucked away, where you can escape to read, write, or watch a movie.  The perfect nook has a little storage, a lot of comfortable seating, and sufficient lighting.

The media center has plantation shutter doors that enhance the coastal look, while also allowing for hidden storage, and is flanked by one of our all time favorite chairs.  The Sarasota chair is big enough to lounge in and oh so stylish.  The abstract coral fabric is such a great source of color in this tame and serene color scheme, while the neutral rug has an eye catching contrast design. 

Where is your favorite nook in your home?

Design Guide: Bed Frame Sizes #designguides #cottagefurniture #beds #bedroomfurniture https://www.cottagehomefurniture.com

Widths and lengths for common mattresses and support systems are highly standardized within the United States and Canada.  However, mattress heights are not standard and will vary by style, manufacturer, and design.  Mattresses in Europe and Asia also have different standard sizes.  Bed frames for mattresses and support systems consist of a headboard, footboard, two side rails and a slat package.  Center supports are included in full, queen, and king slat systems.  Bed frame sizes are designed to support standard mattress sizes.  Final bed size depends on the specific bed's design.

However, mattress heights are not standard and will vary by style, manufacturer, and design. Mattresses in Europe and Asia also have different standard sizes. Bed frames for mattresses and support systems consist of a headboard, footboard, two side rails and a slat package. Center supports are included in full, queen, and king slat systems. Bed frames are designed to support standard mattress sizes. Final bed size depends on the specific bed's design. #designguides #cottagefurniture #beds #bedroomfurniture https://www.cottagehomefurniture.com [post_status] => publish [comment_status] => open [ping_status] => open [post_password] => [post_name] => design-guide-bed-frame-sizes [to_ping] => [pinged] => [post_modified] => 2019-08-22 14:48:13 [post_modified_gmt] => 2019-08-22 18:48:13 [post_content_filtered] => [post_parent] => 0 [guid] => https://www.cottagehomefurniture.com/?p=7034 [menu_order] => 0 [post_type] => post [post_mime_type] => [comment_count] => 0 [filter] => raw [post_icon] => ) [6] => WP_Post Object ( [ID] => 7009 [post_author] => 3304 [post_date] => 2014-12-01 09:00:48 [post_date_gmt] => 2014-12-01 14:00:48 [post_content] =>

Here are a few hints to help you choose the perfect chandelier:

Size

  • If you are hanging a chandelier in the center of a room, like the entryway or foyer, the best way to determine size is to add the length of the room and the width together, change that number into inches, and that gives you the maximum diameter for your chandelier.
  • For example, if your space is 10' long by 16' wide, add those together for 26', and change that to inches - that gives you a maximum diameter chandelier of 26".

  • To determine the best size chandelier to place above your dining table, take the width of your table and subtract 12" - that gives you the maximum width for your chandelier.
  • For example, if your table is 72" long x 40" wide, subtracting 12" from 40" gives you a maximum width of 28" for your chandelier.

Hanging

  • If the chandelier is suspended in the center of a room, like the foyer or living room, than you want the base of your chandelier to be no less than 7 feet from the floor.  This allows ample height for walking without interfering with head room.

  • If the chandelier is suspended over a dining table or kitchen island, than you want to allow 30" - 36" from the surface of the table to the base of the chandelier.  This allows ample room to see across the table without your line of vision being interrupted by the lighting fixture.
