Choosing the Right Size Chandelier

When choosing a new chandelier, numbers play an important role. Use the numbers here to help you decide what is right for your room.

  • If the room is smaller than 10' by 10', a 17 to 20 diameter chandelier would be the right size.
  • If the room is about 12' x 12', a 26 or 27 chandelier would look right.
  • If the room is about 14' x 14', choose a 24 to 36 chandelier.
  • A chandelier should hang about 30 from the surface of the table to insure no bumped heads and good illumination.
  • A chandelier should be about 12 narrower than the width of the table over which it hangs.
    Total wattage of all bulbs should be 200 to 400 to provide sufficient light.
