Which tabernacle to choose for a chapel
How to choose a tabernacle for a chapel
The tabernacle is one of the most important pieces in a chapel or parish. Therefore, it should be chosen considering proportion, material, finish, visual security, and harmony with the altar.
Space size
In small chapels, a compact and well-proportioned tabernacle usually works better. For churches or parishes, a piece with greater visual presence can be chosen.
Design and finish
There are tabernacles with clean lines, ornamental designs, gilded, silver, wood imitation, or combined finishes. The choice should harmonize with the altar and the style of the space.
Proportion with the altar
A tabernacle that is too small may lose its presence. One that is too large may look unbalanced. The ideal is to seek a balance between size, height, and surroundings.
