Lighting Tips
CHANDELIERS
Chandeliers add sparkle and style to your dining room
or foyer and provide general lighting needed for dining
and entertaining. While chandeliers are traditionally
hung in a dining room or foyer, a new trend is to
hang chandeliers in other rooms such as the bedroom,
living room and larger bathrooms. Mini-chandeliers
are particularly great for adding drama when used
in unexpected places like a powder room, hallway,
or walk-in closet.
SIZING A CHANDELIER
To size a chandelier for your
dining room or bedroom, you'll need to measure the
length and width of the room and add those figures
together. The sum, converted to inches, will equal
the diameter of the correct size chandelier. In the
dining room, if this measurement seems inappropriate
due to the size of your table, size your chandelier
three quarters the width of the table. The bottom
of the chandelier should be approximately 30-32 inches
above the table top.
