You might be wondering how to hang a chandelier. The truth is that it’s easier than you think. A few basic rules can help you determine which size to buy and how high it needs to be. First, measure your room in feet and inches. If the ceiling height is over 30 feet, the correct height for your chandelier is 27 inches. To determine the width of the table, measure its width and add 12 inches. Then, determine how much space you have between the chandelier and the table to accommodate its weight.
The first step is to determine the height of your ceiling. You can do this by measuring the height of your ceiling and then converting it to inches. For example, if you have a low ceiling, you’ll want to choose a chandelier that’s at least eight feet taller than the ceiling in your room. On the other hand, if your ceiling is higher, you’ll probably need extra rods or an electrician to install a splice to make it work.
You’ll also want to consider the size of your dining room. A 30- to 36-inch diameter chandelier is the best fit for a table, while a smaller one will fit above the dining table. If you have more than one piece of furniture in the room, you can put a smaller chandelier over each piece to create a more balanced look. Similarly, you can use a large chandelier over a kitchen island to give a homey feel to a large room.
