"My apartment is a small one bedroom and I did not think much could be done to change the look of my home. When I returned, I was simply amazed at the transformation."

Right Sizing Your Chandelier
 
When choosing a new chandelier, numbers play an important role. Use the numbers here to help you decide what is right for your room.
  • If the room is smaller than 10' by 10', a 17" to 20" diameter chandelier would be the right size.
  • If the room is about 12' x 12', a 26" or 27" chandelier would look right.
  • If the room is about 14' x 14', choose a 24" to 36" chandelier.
  • A chandelier should hang about 30" from the surface of the table to insure no bumped heads and good illumination.
  • A chandelier should be about 12" narrower than the width of the table over which it hangs.
  • Total wattage of all bulbs should be 200 to 400 to provide sufficient light.
