1.Size and Location
Living room
This may be your largest common room and it is the first room your guests may see. Chandeliers have arms hence filling the space and making the room feel complete. They help you make a statement and can be the start of a conversation.
Dining room
The chandelier is kept right above the table, thirty-two inches from the tabletop. Here you can install a small chandelier or a pendant light. The difference between them is that a chandelier light is suspended from the ceiling with multiple light bulbs incorporated into the single fixture while a pendant is suspended from the ceiling with only a single light bulb incorporated into its fixture. They light the table and act as a focal point to anchor the space.
Bedrooms
A chandelier highlights the bed and sets the mood and makes the bedroom feel much cozier. It gives a feeling of class and giving your room that extra vibe.
Bathroom
For bathrooms, one can opt for a wall sconce that is mounted to a wall rather than over the head. It can be mounted right above the mirrors or have a chandelier in the middle of the room. This however depends on the size of the room as chandeliers take up more space both physically and virtually. The bathroom should be at least 100 square feet.
In our next article, we get into more calculations to see the right scale and proportions to use to make sure the room is balanced.
