Materials

Modern chandeliers will impress the most demanding customers. Chandelier is crystal, glass, plastic or fabric. For a long time stained glass chandeliers were popular.

When choosing a chandelier, it is important to consider the size of the kitchen. In a miniature kitchen with a low ceiling it is better to place chandeliers high.
