| My DR table is 44 by 78 without the extensions. I am looking at a linear chandelier that is 36L x 12W x 8H or 48L x 16W x 8H. I have 10 foot ceilings and the overall height of the fixture from ceiling to bottom of the fixture is 46 in. Do either one of these seem to be a good size? Thanks for your help. I will cross post on kitchens. |

| Taken from the link below: snip.... The height of the actual chandelier should be determined on the ceiling height of the room. Many Designers follow the rule of allowing 2 " 3" for each foot of a rooms height. Using this calculation, a room that has an 8' ceiling can use a chandelier that is approximately 20" to 24" in height. If the ceiling is 10 feet high, than a light fixture that is 25" to 30" would look more appropriate. Sue |
