The Twenty Rules of Najaf
Here are the twenty rules of Najaf:
The first rule: The chandelier should be in the center of the room so that the eye falls on it first and it provides light distributed throughout the rooms.
The second rule: You must consider the style and taste of the room's decor when buying a chandelier. If the decor is modern, you should choose a chandelier in the same style.
Rule number three: Choose a chandelier size that suits the size of the room. A large chandelier in a small room will make the room appear smaller, and the lighting will be excessive.
This affects the psychological state and increases activity and insomnia. At the same time, using a chandelier that is smaller than the size of the room causes an imbalance, and the size of the chandelier will not be visible in the center of the room.
Rule number four: Use large crystal chandeliers in a classic room, while it is preferable to choose metal chandeliers in a modern room.
Fifth rule: It is important to choose high-quality chandeliers and lamps not only to add an aesthetic touch to the space and ensure a longer lifespan, but also to obtain lighting suitable for the lifestyle of family members.
Rule number six: Choose chandeliers according to the type and function of each room. A chandelier with a larger number of bulbs is suitable for the living room and daily activities, but it is not suitable for the bedroom.
Rule Seven: Modern chandeliers, especially those made of wood and rope, are the most suitable for giving kitchen lighting an attractive and distinctive look characterized by modernity and creativity.
Rule eight: A medium-sized chandelier with a diameter between 40 and 60 cm can be used as the main lighting unit in the center of the ceiling, with the use of wall sconces or lampshades in the
The rooms are medium and small in size.
Rule Nine: The chandelier in the dining room should be in the center of the dining table. If the table is large, it is preferable to use a rectangular chandelier or two regular chandeliers.
Rule number ten: Considering the quality of chandeliers and high-quality materials gives a kind of luxury to the place.
Rule eleven: Chandeliers in the living room should not be too high, especially in high ceilings, so that the lighting is good and attracts guests.
Rule twelve: Use a chandelier with strong, spontaneous lighting and a childlike design that attracts children to their room, thus creating a space for them to be creative and spend more time there.
Rule thirteen: Place the chandelier in the living room at the center of the main table to give an attractive look and even light throughout the room.
Rule Fourteen: It is preferable to use energy-saving LED bulbs for chandeliers, not only to save electricity but also because regular bulbs cause a rise in room temperature and have a shorter lifespan.
Rule fifteen: Use a dimmer switch (a light intensity control switch) with your chandeliers. This allows you to control the chandelier's light intensity throughout the day to suit the lifestyle of each family member. Relaxation time requires different lighting than study time, and so on.
Rule sixteen: The color of the walls must be considered when choosing lighting fixtures. Very dark colors weaken the lighting of chandeliers and require diverse lighting fixtures distributed throughout the room, using a relatively large chandelier with wall sconces, lamps, or lampshades.
Rule seventeen: If you do not want to show the chandelier chain, you can use a suitable color fabric with a length equal to twice the length of the chain and use it as a cover for the chain from the outside.
Rule eighteen: Ceiling lights can be used to highlight a specific part of the room, such as a study desk.
Rule nineteen: When placing more than one chandelier in the same room, the materials used in the chandeliers should be unified to give a charming and harmonious aesthetic look, as well as the style and design of the chandeliers.
Final rule: Take care of your chandeliers and clean them, especially those made of crystal and brass, using a cotton cloth and a little white vinegar only. Clean them once or twice a year, taking care not to expose chandeliers, especially those plated with gold, to the elements and dust for extended periods to preserve their distinctive color.
