You can hang a crystal chandelier anywhere; however, traditionally, it is placed either over a dining room table, in a large bedroom, or above a staircase or entryway. Be sure you have a high enough ceiling wherever you place it, so it hangs down at the proper level. This will be somewhere between 30” to 32” above a piece of furniture.
The most obvious placement of a traditionally crafted or french empire crystal chandelier is in a formal dining room. Here it adds a touch of elegance to the room permitted it matches the design style and decor surrounding it.
Another popular place for a crystal chandelier is in an entryway or within a stairwell, where it becomes a showcase feature of the home and is inviting to guests and residents. Also, consider hanging one in a bedroom for additional ambiance and romance.
Those who prefer a non-traditional look can hang these chandeliers in more offbeat locations such as living rooms or home libraries.
