Proper room lighting in your home is as essential as the furnishings. You can use chandeliers around your home as beautiful centerpieces and make bold and elegant statements. Use the following sizing and positioning guidelines when installing a chandelier in your home.

When choosing a dining room chandelier, the chandelier should neither overpower the table nor look too small. Measure the table (if it's round, measure its diameter, if it's a rectangle, measure its width), and then subtract 12 inches (30 cm) from that number. A well-proportioned chandelier should come within 6 inches (15 cm) to each edge of the table. The bottom of your chandelier should be 30 inches (76 cm) above the tabletop if you have 8 foot (2.4 m) ceilings. If your ceilings are higher than 8 feet, raise the chandelier 3 inches (7.5 cm) for every extra foot (30 cm) of height.

Proper positioning is also important for a balanced look. Since a chandelier is the focal point in a dining room, it should hang over the center of the table. If your ceiling's electrical connection doesn't match up with the table's center, insert a heavy-duty decorative hook into the ceiling above table center. Then attach a length of decorative chain to carry the wiring from the electrical connection to the hook.

For other rooms, a chandelier should be placed higher than 8 feet above the floor in the middle of the room. When placing a majestic chandelier in the foyer, take into consideration the ceiling height and area size. If theres a window above the front door, you may want to center it to the window for maximum curb appeal and aesthetics.
