#TAUPE RECTANGLE CHANDELIER HOW TO#

Okay, you officially know how to choose the right size chandelier. If you want to place two smaller chandeliers over a long table, choose a diameter that’s about one-third of the width of the table. The diameter for a chandelier hung over a table should be one foot less than the width of the tabletop to avoid hitting heads. Hang your fixture so that its lowest point is 30-34 inches from the tabletop (we always suggest leaning toward the higher end of this margin). How to Choose a Chandelier for the Dining Room Table or Kitchen Island Height: Just measure out the diagonal with a tape measure (or use the Pythagorean theorem, for any math wizzes out there). Note: For some visually-heavy chandeliers, you can instead use the diagonal of the room (treated as inches) as the diameter. So then, for this size room, you’ll need an option with a diameter of 24 inches. Use that sum, but treat the sum in inches.įor people who work better with an example, imagine that your room is 10 ft by 14 ft. Just add together the length of the room with the width of the room. Sound complicated? It’s not as confusing as it may sound. The classic rule of thumb is that your diameter should be half of the room’s parameter treated as inches. Note: For some visually-light chandeliers, you can up the ratio to 3:1. This means that for a standard eight-foot-high ceiling, you’ll want an option with a fixture height of about 20 inches.

Then, you’ll have to do some math.īut we promise to make the math manageable with our simple ratio: 2.5 inches in fixture height per 1 foot of room height. As you may imagine, the higher the ceiling, the taller the chandelier. You’ll want to start by measuring the height of your room.
