51 Dining Room Chandeliers With Tips On Right Sizes And How To Hang Them

A chandelier is the crown jewel of a well-furnished dining arrangement. Choosing the right one is not a light decision – even the most engaging design will look out of place if factors like proportion fall by the wayside. Following a few commonly-accepted guidelines can help. How big should a dining room chandelier be? Industry experts suggest choosing a fixture roughly 1/2 to 2/3 the width of the table below. Any wider, and guests might bump it while standing. Hanging height should be no lower than 30 inches above the tabletop. For grand ceilings, hang your chandelier up to 3 inches higher for every foot of ceiling height over 8 feet. Simple right? With these considerations in mind, feel confident selecting the dining chandelier that makes your heart sing. This post explores 51 dining table chandeliers that stand out from the rest, each one sure to leave a lasting impression on dinner guests.
