Lighting/decorating mavens...I need your help! I am trying to decide on a chandelier for my dining room. It is a strange space: Room dimensions - 18 x 16
The fixture I want is 36" in diameter. My current table is 39 inches wide - however it is only a holdover until I get something (not anytime soon!) Will the 36" be okay? Thanks for any and all help! |

| Fast Chandelier Size Issues: 1) Dining Room Chandelier Installation Height: 30" above the table for a 8' tall ceiling, 34" above the table if the ceiling is higher than 8'. 2) Dining Room Chandelier Width: 12" less than the narrowest side (width typically) of a rectangle or oval table, 18" less than the diameter of a square or round table. 3) Dining Room Chandelier Fixture Height: 3" per foot of ceiling height or 24" for a 8' ceiling. 4) Foyer Chandelier Fixture Height: 3" per foot of ceiling height with 30" maximum 5) Foyer Chandelier Installation Height: About 1/3 down from ceiling to base of fixture so that light disperses evenly in foyer. So for a 20' foyer, the base of the chandelier should be 6-7' below the ceiling. 6) Foyer Chandelier Width: 1" per foot of ceiling width measured diagonally. A 12'x12' foyer would require an 18" wide chandelier. |
