Correct size for Nelson lamp

6 years ago

Hello. May I ask your opinion? I am purchasing a 78-79 inch tulip table and intend on hanging a Nelson bubble lamp above it. Would you recommend the medium size lamp (25 inch diameter) or the large size lamp (36 inch diameter)? It will hang from a 12 foot peaked ceiling. Thank you very much.

It sounds like your ceiling is tall enough and the Tulip table is large so I think the large 36 inch could work. Larger lamps become more of a statement piece which is in style now. Jill
