Tiffany chandeliers and Tiffany flushmount lighting systems will both provide all the illumination a room will require. The question is which is appropriate for any given room.
The correct Tiffany style lighting unit for a given lighting problem depends on a few factors. When trying to decide between a Tiffany chandelier or a Tiffany flushmount unit you must look at the overall size of the room and the intended use for the room. Tiffany chandeliers come in three, four, six, eight and even twelve arm units. The larger the unit, the more ceiling height you require. Nothing spoils the look of a room than a ceiling fixture that is out of proportion. Too small a room and the Tiffany chandelier will over power the over all look. On the other hand a three arm Tiffany chandelier in an entrance way that opens to two floors will be dwarfed and look ridiculous. Try cutting out paper replicas that represent the approximate size of the fixture you have in mind. Suspend the cut out with string and view from all sides before making your actual purchase.
Accenting the walls with Tiffany wall sconces works best with Tiffany chandeliers and will finish off the desired effect. Remember to use dimmer switches to control the overall effect.
The most important step in creating the proper lighting effect for any given room is to first select a theme. Tiffany style lighting offers an almost unlimited design selection.
Once the theme has been determined the next step is to find the most effective combination of available Tiffany lighting sources available. Tiffany flushmount lighing is a good start for ceiling mounted direct room lighting. The available accent pieces must undergo careful consideration. Tiffany table lamps, Tiffany floor lamps, Tiffany accent lamps and Tiffany wall sconces are all viable combination lighting sources. They will each produce from 20 to 50 percent of the light required for any given room. Which combination depends on the function of the room and the personal tastes of the people using the room most often. The need for varying the combinations used from room to room can not be over emphasized.
A Tiffany vanity light is a surface mounted wall fixture with three or more lights, usually mounted in a bathroom. A Tiffany vanity light is both a direct and indirect lighting fixture. It will provide the direct work light appropriate for the bathroom chores as well as reflect off the wall and ceiling to fill the room with the required light for overall use.
In a double sink situation you may choose to use one Tiffany vanity light of 5 or 6 lights, or two 3 or 4 light Tiffany vanity lights side by side. Accenting with additional Tiffany style lighting is difficult due to the space restriction. One possible exception would be a small Tiffany accent light on the bathroom counter in the corner. This could be rotated by style as the seasons change. Additionally a Tiffany flushmount can complement your Tiffany vanity light theme.
Tiffany flushmount lighting is a surface mounted ceiling fixture with three inches or less between the shade and the ceiling. They normally come with two or three 60 watt light bulbs and will provide 100 percent of the illumination required for a standard room. When wired with a dimmer switch any desired effect can be achieved.
When deciding on a theme it is best to combine Tiffany flushmounts with Tiffany accent lights, Tiffany floor lamps, Tiffany torchieres or Tiffany table lamps. This will complete any theme you may desire to create.
Selecting the proper combination of lights for an activity room requires some planing. The organization of the room is the key. Tiffany flushmount Lighting will provide beautiful general lighting for the overall room. Tiffany pendant lighting is excellent for providing unique lighting over game tables. Tiffany wall sconces provide a great source of perimeter lighting to set the desired mood. These work best with a rheostat to control the brightness.
Tiffany table lamps and Tiffany floor lamps work best for work and reading areas. Tiffany stained glass windows create a bright playful atmosphere when hung in a window receiving direct sunlight at least part of the time. For the best results select Tiffany style lighting for compatible color and design.
I have been asked to comment a little on the theory of interior lighting. General Lighting illuminates the whole room. This is typically overhead or track lighting. I highly recommend a rheostat on this type of lighting to keep the desired effect as the light of day since Natural Lighting, changes through out the day. Tiffany chandeliers, Tiffany ceiling fan lights, and Tiffany flushmount lighting is best for these situations.
Next is Task Lighting. This is lighting that provides adequate light to preform a specific job such as reading, cooking, application of make up, etc. This lighting should be glare free and positioned so things are easy to see without eye strain. Tiffany pendant lighting, Tiffany island lighting, Tiffany vanity lights, Tiffany table lamps, and Tiffany floor lamps work best for these situations.
Last is Accent Lighting. this is focused light that is used to illuminate something of interest. A piece of art, a sculpture, or an architectural element of a room. Accent lighting is usually about three time the brightness of general lighting. Tiffany accent lights and Tiffany mini pendant lights work best here.
With all your lighting efforts it is important to do a little planning before you go out and buy your fixtures. Have an idea of the over all effect you are looking to create. Most important, do not be afraid to mix the different types of lighting in your over all theme. Tiffany style lighting can be of great help in achieving your desired lighting goals.
