What are the rules for hanging a chandelier?
In general, the height of the main source of light should be 30″-36″ above the table. There should be a minimum of 150 watts total in the chandelier. You should also consider the room size when choosing your chandelier. • 10′ x 10′ rooms should use a chandelier with a 17″-20″ diameter • 12′ x 12′ rooms should use a chandelier with a 20″-16″ diameter • 14′ x 14′ rooms should use a chandelier with a 24″-30″ diameter Using a dimmer on your chandelier will allow you change the ambient light based upon your dining situation.
