Asian Hanging Lamps

Under most circumstances, you'll find that Asian hanging lamps have a delicate design and construction. Therefore, it's essential that you use extreme care when handling and maintaining them. Before you begin cleaning, removal of the shade is critical to ensure damage doesn't occur. When wiping the lens clean, use a dry microfiber cloth.

For those who would like to place Asian hanging lights over their table, the standard measurement is for the lamp to be at least 72" from the floor. In doing so, you'll find that the lamp will then be around 38" above the table's surface. The same holds true for placement above an island's surface whereby it should be at least 38".

When styling and decorating with these hanging lamps, the recommendation is to use multiple lamps when working with a space that's larger than four feet. Therefore, if you have plans to utilize multiple Asian hanging lamps in your space, consider selecting an odd number rather than an even for a more visually appealing appearance. Under some circumstances, it may be appropriate to utilize an even number of lamps. However, working with an odd number offers a sense of balance in many spaces.

When you’re working with Asian hanging lights, one of the most significant benefits to their design aspect is you can cluster them together at varying heights. This kind of design not only works successfully for indoor applications but outdoor designs as well. Pick out lamps that are all the same, or that feature similar styles to achieve a unique display. In addition to these clusters of lights looking beautiful in an exotic outdoor retreat, they also create an elegant and sophisticated focal point in traditional or contemporary rooms.

One of the most beautiful things about an Asian hanging lamp is how differently their designs are from one another. In addition to finding a myriad of designs, you'll also find their material combinations are also varying. Some designs feature a combination of metal and glass while others are wood and rice paper. You'll also find some made from fabric, and others made entirely from milk glass. When making your selections, you'll need to take into consideration the shape, design, materials, and how much light you'd like cast from these lamps. Some are made for function while others are purely for decorative purposes.
