how close to table should chandelier be
1 Chandeliers above dining room tables should have a diameter of 1/2 to 2/3 the width of the table.  To size a chandelier as the focal point of any other space, such as foyers, living rooms, etc, measure the length and width of your room then add those figures together. The sum of those two numbers is the approximate recommended diameter of your chandelier in inches.*.
