Chandeliers

Chandeliers for dining rooms, living rooms, and entries. Add the room length and width in feet, and use that sum as a starting diameter in inches. A 12-by-14-foot room points toward a fixture about 26 inches wide, then adjust for the table and for how solid the piece looks.

Over a dining table, keep the bottom about 30–36 inches above the tabletop. In an entry, leave at least 7 feet below the lowest point where people walk. A two-story opening should be sized to the volume, not only the floor. Check the shortest and longest drop on the product page before ordering.

Glass, brass, and crystal are the main materials in this collection. The size and hanging-height guide uses the same measurements. A single shade over a smaller table is often a pendant light instead.
