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
