What Size Chandelier do I need?

Adding a Chandelier to your Décor can bring the room together or create an exciting focal point in an otherwise drab environment.

  • If you’re looking to bring more task lighting to an area, you may want to browse the Down Lighting section.
  • Up Lighting Chandeliers will give more ambient light to a room by illuminating the ceiling and reflecting light downward.
  • Our Covered Chandeliers selection includes chandeliers that are entirely covered by a glass or fabric shade.
  • And if you were hoping to change the way you look at Chandeliers and add a unique piece of art to your home, you might want to click through the Oblong Chandeliers.

Dining Areas:
Q
How do I determine the proper size chandelier for over a dining room table?
A – Here, as in the foyer, the dimensions of the room dictate the width (diameter) of the chandelier.  If that doesn’t appear to fit because of the size of your table, use ½ the table width for the chandelier’s diameter.

The bottom of the chandelier should be no lower than 30 inches above the tabletop.
Q – Will a chandelier be enough light?
A – Here again, you should make sure the chandelier has enough wattage (based on the formula in question #1).  If you’re not comfortable with the amount of light, you can add sconces, portable lamps or recessed lights to add more light and ambience.

Entry/Foyer:
QHow do I determine the proper chandelier width for a foyer?
A – This is pretty easy.  Just add together the length and width dimensions of the foyer area.  What you get is the proper diameter for most any chandelier you’ll need there. 
Example:  The area is 12 feet by 16 feet.  Added together this equals 28 feet.  Therefore, the foyer chandelier’s diameter should be approximately 28” in width.
Q – What about the height of the chandelier?
A – This depends on the height of your foyer ceiling.  Always keep in mind that the bottom of the chandelier should be at least 7 feet from the floor.  That may mean you need a flushmount (mounts directly against the ceiling), a semi-flush (also known as close-to-ceiling fixture, which hangs a few inches below the ceiling) or, if you have a tall ceiling, you may need a 2-tier or 3-tier chandelier.
If there is a window above the front doors, center the chandelier so it can be seen from outside.  If the foyer is extra large, you may also want to include wall sconces in the foyer.  Install them against the wall approximately 60” from the floor, 6 – 8 feet apart.
