How To Choose A Dining Room Chandelier Size

Once you've pinpointed the style and feel you want to craft for your space, determining what size chandelier fits your dining room will help you decide on the perfect fixture. Dining table chandeliers are statement pieces meant to tie a room together, so when in doubt, err on the larger side. However, a few simple rules can help you determine roughly what size chandelier will look best in your room. A light fixture that is too small can be overwhelmed by a bigger space, but an oversized light fixture in a small dining room will look cramped and mismatched. The simplest way to choose a lighting fixture that is perfect for you is to look at your dining table. As a general rule, the width of your chandelier should be roughly 12 inches less than the width of your table at its widest point.
