How to choose the best decorative fixture for your lounge? 

With countless possibilities, it becomes a task to choose the right fixture for your lounge. Here are a few parameters which can help narrow down the choice of fixtures. 

1. Measure the area 

It is highly essential to first measure the area of the room which requires illumination. The area is measured by determining the ceiling height and floor-length. For a variety of lights, it is not as necessary but for recessed lights, track lights, chandeliers the area of the room becomes the top priority to curate a functional lighting layout. 

2. Calculate the lumen requirement 

It is of much significance to calculate the lumen requirement of the lounge. Lumen is a measure of brightness; it helps determine the total brightness and ample lighting requirement for the lounge.  This helps in dividing the zones for general lighting, task lighting, and accent lighting. With the division of zones, it becomes easier to select the appropriate fixture for layering the light. 

3. Determine the placement of the fixture

If a layout is calculated it is easier to narrow down the applicable choice of fixtures. If the ceiling is too high and there is a lot of room to fill then one or two chandeliers are a necessity and it depends entirely on the sizing.  The chandeliers can be placed in two opposite ends of the room or just one big chandelier in the middle i.e equidistant from all four corners.
