Vintage style chandeliers – features

Vintage style chandeliers have characteristic features that make them easily recognizable: 

  • The color scheme of the interior in a vintage style is pastel, unobtrusive shades. Muted, dusty shades of blue, beige, gray, pink and their combinations prevail. A matte metal finish is suitable for the frame, with a deliberately imperfect finish – with bumps, irregularities, scratches, and chips;
  • it is recommended to choose incandescent bulbs as a light source for the vintage style. They have excellent color rendering, close to sunlight, warm glow, pleasing to human eyes. This will complement the vintage ambiance and create the right impression. From modern analogs, it is worth considering filament lamps – they were originally developed for classic interiors and have the desired shade of glow;
  • The shape of the vintage lighting fixture is offered in two different directions. It can be a complex design that combines different materials of manufacture, decorative elements, and tiers, or a simple, strict classic-type lamp.
  • Manufacturing materials are mostly natural. This is due to the influence of the era from which vintage draws inspiration, when polymer compounds had not yet come into use, and glass, wood, and metal were the only options. In a modern version, plastic stylization is possible.
