New L I G H T I N G and Lamps in our Charlotte stores

CHANDELIERS AND PENDANTS
When purchasing a chandelier or pendant there are two basic things to consider; SIZE and HEIGHT.
The size of the hanging fixture is determined by the square footage of the room.These measurements are just a guide but they demonstrate that the chandelier, while it should make a statement, should not overpower the room.
Room 10 x 10 — Fixture 17- 20 inches in diameter
Room 12 x 12—-Fixture 27 inches in diameter
Room 14 x 14—-Fixture 24-36 inches in diameter
Also note, a chandelier should hang 30 inches above a dining table and at least 8-9 feet off the floor in a foyer.
Don’t be afraid to ask the professionals for help. Every home decor store has someone on staff who can assist you in getting these proportions dead on.
Floor lamps are practical lighting choices because they create ambiance all by themselves—no other furniture required. AND installation is a breeze. A variety of styles and sizes to choose from make it super simple to add some light and personality to a room.
Bought in pairs or one-of-a kind, these beauties are an easy way to add some pizzazz (in the form of color or bling) to your existing decor without busting the budget, tearing our a wall, or hiring a decorator.
