What size chandelier or pendant do I need?
Over a dining table, choose a fixture about 6 inches narrower than the table. Over a round table, it should be one-half to three-quarters of the table's diameter. To size a fixture for a whole room, add the room's length and width in feet: that number in inches is a good diameter to start with.
How high should it hang?
Hang a chandelier or pendant 30 to 36 inches above a dining table or kitchen island. When using more than one fixture over an island, keep them at least 30 inches apart. In a hall or entry, leave at least 7 feet of clearance beneath the fixture.
How high should I mount a sconce?
In hallways, bathrooms and living rooms, mount sconces 60 to 65 inches from the floor. For bedside wall lights, about 55 to 60 inches from the floor and 6 to 12 inches from the edge of the bed works well. In hallways, space sconces 8 to 10 feet apart.
Do I need an electrician?
Yes. Hardwired fixtures should be installed by a licensed electrician.
Can you help me choose a size?
Yes. Text a photo of the room, with ceiling height and table size if you have them, to 401.450.5706, and we'll help you choose.
