<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Size Considerations
Hanging a chandelier above your table takes some considerations. A chandelier should be at least 12 inches narrower in diameter than the table width from which it will hang, regardless of the room size. This allows clearance for people to sit and stand without hitting the chandelier.
On the Other: Viewing Considerations
Chandeliers should be at eye level when standing up and should be moved up or down accordingly. Chandeliers should not obstruct a diner's view while seated. Allow more space between a chandelier and the table if tall centerpieces are used.
Bottom Line
Chandeliers should be centered above the dining table. One guideline is to hang a chandelier so that the bottom hangs from 30 inches to 34 inches off the table if you have an eight-foot ceiling. For higher ceilings add three inches of suspending height for each additional foot of ceiling.
