How to find the right Chandelier Size

When it comes to finding the right size of a chandelier you want to place in your home or office, you want to ensure it’s the perfect fit for the room. A chandelier that’s either too large or too small for the room will make the overall design of the room feel wonky, oversized, or congested.

First, you need to determine which room you are going to hang your chandelier, and from there, you can follow this basic list of rules to find the right sizing of a chandelier for that room.

3. Measure The Space Between Any Table Surfaces To The Ceiling

If you are hanging your chandelier in a room that will have some type of table surface, such as a dining room or kitchen area, you want to ensure there is enough space between the surface and the chandelier.

We recommend chandeliers hang between 30 and 35 inches above your table if your ceiling is less than 8-feet tall, and if your ceiling is taller than 8 feet, your chandeliers should hang about 36 to 40 inches above the table. Your chandelier should also be about 1 foot narrower than the surface of your table.

Where to hang your chandelier

You Can Hang Chandeliers Wherever You’d Like In Your Home Or Office, As They Add A Great Ambiance And Practical Lighting To Any Room They Are Placed In.

Here Are Some Of Our Favorite Places To Hang A Chandelier:

In An Open Pathway (I.E. Foyer, Hallway, Entryway)

You should leave at least 7 feet of space between the chandelier and your floor.

Above A Table

Leave about 30 to 40 inches above the surface, depending on the height of your ceiling.

In A Bathroom

You can hang a chandelier over your bathtub for an elegant and relaxing addition to your bathroom. Hang it about 8 feet over your tub for sufficient clearance room. You can also hang smaller chandeliers above your sink/vanity area.

In Large Rooms (I.E. Bedrooms, Living Rooms, Etc.)

Use our sizing guidelines above to find the perfect size chandelier for these rooms.
