You'll want to start by measuring the height of your room. As you may imagine, the higher the ceiling, the taller the chandelier. Then, you'll have to do some math. \u003C/span>\r\n\r\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: opensans-regular; font-size: 14pt;\">But we promise to make the math manageable with our simple ratio: \u003Cem>2.5 inches in fixture height per 1 foot of room height.\u003C/em>\u003Cem> \u003C/em>This means that for a standard eight-foot-high ceiling, you'll want an option with a fixture height of about 20 inches.

Sound complicated? It's not as confusing as it may sound. Just add together the length of the room with the width of the room. Use that sum, but treat the sum in inches. \u003C/span>\r\n\r\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: opensans-regular; font-size: 14pt;\">For people who work better with an example, imagine that your room is 10 ft by 14 ft. Add 10 plus 14 to get 24 total feet. So then, for this size room, you'll need an option with a diameter of 24 inches. Note: For some visually-heavy chandeliers, you can instead use the diagonal of the room (treated as inches) as the diameter. Just measure out the diagonal with a tape measure (or use the Pythagorean theorem, for any math wizzes out there).\u003C/span>\r\n\r\n\u003Chr />\r\n\r\n\u003Cimg class=\"alignnone wp-image-33300 size-full\" src=\"https://d307biz9bwtpmz.cloudfront.net/articles/content/2021_10_22-KKH-0448XX-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"A modern living room with a charcoal gray chaise sectional, modern gold chandelier, and round wood coffee table\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" />\r\n\r\n\u003Chr />\r\n\r\n\u003Ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: opensans-regular; font-size: 18pt;\">\u003Cstrong>Shop the Look\u003C/strong>\u003C/span>\u003C/h3>\r\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: opensans-regular;\">\u003Cdiv class=\"row\"> \u003Cdiv class=\"col-lg-4\">\u003C/span>\r\n\r\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: opensans-regular;\">\u003Ca href=\"https://www.kathykuohome.com/Product/Detail/41784-Ailyn-Rustic-Lodge-Green-Upholstered-Brown-Wood-Occasional-Arm-Chair?utm_source=social&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=chandeliers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003Cimg class=\"alignnone wp-image-33302\" src=\"https://d307biz9bwtpmz.cloudfront.net/articles/content/product_41784_1.jpg\" alt=\"green velvet and wood midcentury modern armchair\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\u003C/a>\u003C/span>\r\n\r\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: opensans-regular;\">\u003C/div> \u003Cdiv class=\"col-lg-4\">\u003C/span>\r\n\r\n\u003Ca href=\"https://www.kathykuohome.com/Product/Detail/156619-Artemis-Glass-Shade-Natural-Brass-Sputnik-Chandelier?utm_source=social&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=chandeliers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003Cimg class=\"alignnone wp-image-33303\" src=\"https://d307biz9bwtpmz.cloudfront.net/articles/content/product_156619.jpg\" alt=\"natural glass shade and brass sputnik chandelier\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\u003C/a>\r\n\r\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: opensans-regular;\">\u003C/div> \u003Cdiv class=\"col-lg-4\">\u003C/span>\r\n\r\n\u003Ca href=\"https://www.kathykuohome.com/Product/Detail/26611-Primo-Rustic-Lodge-Round-Oak-Wood-Black-Round-Coffee-Table?utm_source=social&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=chandeliers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003Cimg class=\"alignnone wp-image-33301\" src=\"https://d307biz9bwtpmz.cloudfront.net/articles/content/product_26611.jpg\" alt=\"rustic black round wood coffee table\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\u003C/a>\r\n\r\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: opensans-regular;\">\u003C/div> \u003C/div>\u003C/span>\r\n\r\n\u003Chr />\r\n\r\n\u003Ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 24pt;\">\u003Cstrong>\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: opensans-regular;\">How to Choose a Chandelier for the Dining Room Table or Kitchen Island \u003C/span>\u003C/strong>\u003C/span>\u003C/h2>\r\n\u003Ch3>\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: opensans-regular; font-size: 18pt;\">\u003Cstrong>Height\u003C/strong>\u003C/span>\u003C/h3>\r\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: opensans-regular; font-size: 14pt;\">Hang your fixture so that its lowest point is 30-34 inches from the tabletop (we always suggest leaning toward the higher end of this margin).\u003C/span>\r\n\u003Ch3>\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: opensans-regular; font-size: 18pt;\">\u003Cstrong>Diameter\u003C/strong>\u003C/span>\u003C/h3>\r\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: opensans-regular; font-size: 14pt;\">The diameter for a chandelier hung over a table should be one foot less than the width of the tabletop to avoid hitting heads.
