Chandeliers come in a range of sizes, from small and delicate to large and extravagant. The most appropriately sized chandelier will suit the room it’s in, meaning it’s not too large or small for your space. Talking generally, a chandelier should be allowed at least a few metres of clearance on each side. Avoid pieces that will overwhelm the room or drop too low by measuring the size of your room before you start shopping. If your room is 8x5m with high ceilings, you might consider a piece that’s around 1m in width. For a small 4x4 room, something between 40-60cm will look best.
