There is no simple answer to this and it is largely a question of personal preference. As a guide you can add the width of your room in feet to the length and this will give you a starting size for the preferred diameter. For example if your room is 12 foot long and 15 foot wide then this would give a starting diameter of 27inches.. However, there are some important considerations:- 1. Check that the height of chandelier is appropriate for your ceiling height. You need a minimum of 2m (80inches) clearance from the floor to the bottom of the chandelier. You don't want to be knocking your head on it every time you walk under it! The other optical fact is that when you have the chandelier higher it will look smaller so you can add 4-8 inches on to the diameter. 2. If the chandelier is placed above a dining table it is good to have it lower. As a guide a distance between the table top and chandelier should be 80-100cm (30-39 inches). As a size guide if you are hanging a chandelier over a dining table then as a guide it would typically be of a diameter of half the table width or 2 feet narrower than the table width. Clearly you need to take into account the overall room size using the above formula but this should serve as a starting point. Positioning the chandelier in this position produces a marvellous centre piece for the room and allows you to select a chandelier of greater height.
