Dining Room Chandelier

13 years ago

We are in the process of having a new home built. The formal dining room is 12ft 6 inches x 12 ft. My table is round (64"), and i have an 18" deep buffet. My dilemma is, should I off centre the chandelier to fit the buffet in the room, or should I centre the chandelier in the room and omit the buffet?

So smart of you to think of this ahead of time. It would best, I think, because the room is not that large, to omit the buffet and center the light. Great art on the walls - add ceiling picture lighting - and you are set.
