Chandelier Size

The right chandelier diameter, height and hanging point for your room.

How this works

Add the room length and width in feet: that number in inches is the chandelier diameter. In metric that is about 8.3 cm of diameter per metre of length plus width. Height should be about 2.5 to 3 inches per foot of ceiling (21 to 25% of the ceiling height). Over a table, use half to two thirds of the table width and hang the bottom 75 to 90 cm above the top.
