You can hang a chandelier in nearly any room. As long as your chandelier is the right size for your dining area, it doesn’t matter if the space is small, average, or large.
One common rule of thumb is to select a chandelier that is about one-half the width of your dining room table. It’s better to hang a chandelier that is slightly bigger than this guideline than one that is too small.
Most chandeliers should be hung 30 to 36 inches above the tabletop. However, you may want to adjust the height depending on your dining room ceilings and table style.
