Step 1

Determine the Width or Diameter for your chandelier

• Measure the length and the width of the room.
• Add the two measurements.
• Convert the measurement unit from feet to inches.

The inches will be the Width or Diameter for chandelier.

For example:

16 feet (Room Length) + 8 feet (Room Width) = 24 feet; The chandelier should be about 24 inches for its width or diameter.

Step 2

Determine the Height for your chandelier

• Measure the room height, from the installation site to the floor.
• Multiply the room height by 2.5 or 3.
• Convert the measurement unit to inches.

The inches will be the Height for chandelier.

For example:

11 feet (Room Height), 11*2.5 = 27.5 The chandelier should be about 27.5 inches for its height.

Step 3

Determine the Hanging Height according to the location

• Over Open Floor:

The bottom of the chandelier should be at least 7 feet above the floor.

• Over a Dining Table:

The bottom of the dining chandelier should be 32-34 inches away from the tabletop.

Dining Room

• Round Chandelier:

To determine the diameter of a round chandelier by the size of your table, we generally recommend that the diameter of the chandelier should be between 1/2 and 2/3 of the width of the table.

For example:

Your dining table is 32 inches in width.

The diameter of the chandelier should be between 16 (32 x 1/2) to 21 (32 x 2/3) inches.

• Rectangular Chandelier:

For a rectangular chandelier, its length and width should be between 1/2 and 2/3 of the length and the width of the table.

For example:

Your dining table is 32 inches in width and 72 inches in length.

Then, the length of the chandelier is between 36 (72 x 1/2) to 48 (72 x 2/3) inches, and the width is between 16 (32 x 1/2) to 21 (32 x 2/3) inches.

Two-Story Foyer

In an open foyer, the chandelier may be at eye level or slightly below when viewed from the second floor. So consider a staircase & foyer chandelier that would look eye-catching from all angles, even from above.

Hallway

Choosing the right size of hallway chandelier should be determined by the width of the hallway.

• Measure the hallway’s width.
• Multiply the hallway’s width by 2 to 2.5.
• Convert the measurement unit to inches.

The inches will be the Width or Diameter for chandelier.

For example:

The hallway’s width is 5 feet. The chandelier’s diameter should be about 10(5 x 2) -12.5 (5 x 2.5) inches.
