Chandelier light comes in various sizes, styles, features. No matter what type of chandelier you are purchasing, choosing the proper size for your space is very crucial. In addition to the height of the ceiling, the room's size is a key consideration when choosing the appropriate-sized chandelier. For instance, a tall chandelier would be too much for a room with low ceilings, whereas a tiny chandelier would be lost in a room with high ceilings.
Finding the ideal chandelier size for a space can be challenging. One that is too little will blend in, while one that is too large may fully fill the room. Here are a few pointers to help you choose the appropriate-sized chandelier for your space
Determine the diameter of the chandelier
The size of the chandeliers can also be chosen based on the size of your dining table or kitchen island if they are to be hung above them. Typically, we advise that the chandelier's breadth or diameter should be between ½ and 2/3 of the width of the dining table or kitchen island.
Determine the height of the chandelier
In a dining room, the height of a chandelier over a table should be between 30 and 34 inches. Your ceiling height is not a factor in determining the height. The height of your chandelier ought to be near enough to the table to illuminate it more than a ceiling light would. However, you don't want the light to be so close that when individuals get up from the table, their heads will be hit.
The estimated height of the chandelier in inches will be determined by multiplying the square of the room's floor to ceiling measurement by 2.5. This guideline primarily applies to chandeliers in the pendant style but may not always apply to chandeliers in the ceiling style.

Kitchen
The chandelier's size can also be determined based on the size of your dining table or kitchen island if you are hanging it above them. As a general rule, we recommend that the chandelier's width or diameter is between 1/2 and 2/3 of the dining table's width.
Two storey building
In addition to the general rule that the bottom of the chandelier should be at least 7 and a half feet from the floor. In the case of a two story building, you need to also consider the way it will look from the second floor. The staircase chandelier is generally a good choice for a space with a higher ceiling.
Hallways
If you need chandeliers in hallways, the size of the chandelier should be determined by the width of the hall. By multiplying the hallway's width by 2.5, you can determine the chandelier's diameter in inches.
