First off i ll provide a guideline.
Chandelier height above dining room table.
The generally accepted rule for hanging dining room chandeliers is that the bottom of the fixture should hang between 30 and 36 inches above the top of the dining table.
I really feel that every situation is different.
Keep all lights at least 6 inches from the ends of the table or island.
Now that i ve told you that rule i m also going to tell you to disregard it.
Single chandeliers should be centered over the table or island while multiple chandeliers or pendants should hang 30 inches apart from each other.
It depends on the size of the table the diameter and height of the fixture and the height of the ceiling.
If the ceiling is higher the recommended standard is to raise the chandelier 3 inches for each additional foot of ceiling height.
This range assumes you have an 8 foot ceiling.
Chandeliers over dining tables or kitchen islands should hang anywhere from 30 to 36 inches above the table.
