Among all the different buildings I’ve visited, the one that holds a special place in my heart is the palace that houses one of my favorite chandeliers The Palais Garnier in Paris. Incidentally one of my favorite Broadway shows was also written around this building, The Phantom of The Opera. The Palais, The Broadway Show and this article have one thing in common – all three have a Chandelier involved in some way.<\/p>\n
The chandelier housed in the Palais Garnier, weighs over six tonnes and sits perched high in the gold leafed ceiling of the theater. This opulent masterpiece blends well with the surrounding and each time I visit the Garneir I can’t help discussion my point of whether it may be the Chandeliers<\/a> that directs the ambiance or is it the ambiance that frames the chandelier<\/p>\n If you’re wondering why I would even consider that discussion and not just appreciate the opulent beauty of the Palais, here is the answer. I am in the midst of designing my dwelling plus the discussion over the chandelier has been raging ever since the idea was fist mooted. I have had all kinds of comments from immediate and extended family members about the inclusion of a moderate sized chandelier in the main landing.<\/p>\n But the main point is, do I rely on the chandelier to carry the entire house or do I focus on the house and other Home Lighting<\/a> including and also the chandelier will tag along? As the discussion rages at almost each and every meal we sit down to these days, what keeps ringing in my ear is what my wise old gramps keeps saying. He reminds me that it truly is seriously a small bit of both. But it leans towards the fact that the house need to be able to stand on its own, aesthetically, prior to you ought to even think of hanging a chandelier.<\/p>\n That little nugget of advice seems to be gaining moment in my mind and so I have stated to think about chandeliers that complement rather than looking for a chandelier that is grand in the hopes it will elevate the aesthetics. The extra I think about it the more it makes me see the wisdom in having a chandelier that suites the home and a home that suites the chandelier If no the entire thing is just going to fall flat.<\/p>\n
