Chandelier Help

8 years ago

I need to replace the ceiling fan with a chandelier over the dining room table. It’s a small room with 8 ft. ceiling. My table is 44 inches and round. I lobe the look of the Boston chandelier on Houzz but not sure it would work in the space. What do you think? I’m afraid it won’t be wide enough to create a wow factor.

add length and width of room, ie. 12 x 14 = 26. Convert that number to inches and the chandelier should be about 26 inches in diameter....err on larger than narrower. Bottom of chandelier should be 30 - 36 inches above the table.

Something like this...

That's a nice option. It will make a statement but not obstruct the view of your beautiful artwork. I would look for something at least 24" across so it's not too large for your table.
