Chandelier sizing too small? 100”w dining table

5 years ago

last modified: 5 years ago

Hello Everyone,

I found a chandelier I fell in love with. The sizing of the chandelier is 36.5“ w and 12” deep. My dining table is 100”x50”. Would this look bad? I know the general rule is 2/3 over dining table but would this still work?

Here is the name of the chandelier off Wayfair (Attached is a review photo of the chandelier an interior designer posted over a 94”w table”)

The dining room has a wide slider door behind it with beautiful view so I’m not looking for the chandelier to overpower the room and view anyway, but I also don’t want it to look tiny. It’s an extremely beautiful, expensive and overpriced (what isn’t these days) chandelier made of Swarovski crystals.

thank you!

Also important is the size of your room and how the chandelier's scale works in that context.

Here is your table with the Wayfair chandelier in a room with 9ft. ceilings.

These fixtures from RH are longer and less expensive. and IMO would work better with your table size.

so its all preference. personally i think it is fine but i also put a circlular chandeler above my rectange table (gasp). But I love it. the best way to figure out if it will bug you is to use painters tape on the top of your table. if it looks too small to you there, it will look too small hanging.

@Jesse Fay thank you! I also was thinking of circular but it’s smaller than this. I think it softens up the room to put circular above rectangular :)

What BeverlyFLADeziner said, size it by the room size, not the table.
