Chandeliers are commonly found in foyers and formal entryways, kitchens, living rooms, bedrooms, and even bathrooms or powder rooms. Choosing where to install a chandelier depends on the size of the room, ceiling height, size of the fixture, and the surrounding decor.
How to choose Chandeliers?
For instance, a crystal chandelier might be suitable for a more traditional or formal setting, while a sleek pendant light could work well in a contemporary or minimalist space.
The four main factors in selecting a chandelier are style, size, direction of light output, and control.
Having something too big or too small can result in a disproportioned look in your space. A 30″ tall chandelier hanging in the middle of the room with 8′ ceilings will feel extremely low in the space and look strange. If you buy something too small, the piece may seem dwarfed by the room. When in doubt, it is better to err on the larger size, since chandeliers are statement pieces.
One general rule for selecting an ideal chandelier:
- Measure the length and width of the room in feet.
- Add those two numbers together.
- The sum of those two numbers should be the diameter of your chandelier in inches.
What height a chandelier should be hung?
In a dining room, the goal is to suspend it low enough so that you don’t catch glare from the light source but high enough so that it does not obstruct your vision. A good rule of thumb is to hang the chandelier so the bottom of the fixture is 30 – 36 inches from the top of the table. Adjust this height to suit your personal preferences or the demands of your room.
