Chandelier Size Calculator

Q: How high should a chandelier hang over a dining table?

A common guideline is 30–36 inches from the table surface to the bottom of the chandelier. Higher ceilings often look better closer to 36 inches.

Q: Should the chandelier be smaller than the table?

Yes. A safe rule is to keep the chandelier about 12 inches narrower than the table width (or diameter) so it doesn’t feel crowded.

Chandelier Size Calculator

Find the right chandelier diameter and hanging height for your room. Works for dining rooms, living rooms, bedrooms, and entryways.

Diameter + height rules Dining & entryway modes Shop chandeliers instantly

1) Room type

Dining rooms use table-based height rules. Entryways use ceiling-height rules.

2) Ceiling height (ft)

Most homes are 8–10 ft. For tall ceilings, we’ll adjust hanging guidance.

3) Room length (ft)

Measure wall-to-wall length of the room.

4) Room width (ft)

Measure wall-to-wall width of the room.

5) Table shape (dining)

We keep the chandelier smaller than the table for better proportion.

6) Hanging style

Small tweaks make a big difference visually.

Table length / diameter (inches)

For round tables, enter the diameter.

Table width (inches) — rectangular only

Skip if your table is round.

How to use this calculator

Select your room type (dining, living, bedroom, or entryway).
Enter room length and room width in feet.
Enter ceiling height in feet.
For dining rooms, enter your table dimensions.
Click Find My Chandelier Size to get diameter + hanging guidance.

Quick rule (diameter): Add room length + room width (in feet). The sum is a good starting point for chandelier diameter (in inches). Example: 14 ft + 12 ft ≈ 26".

FAQ

How high should a chandelier hang over a dining table?

A common guideline is 30–36 inches from the table surface to the bottom of the chandelier. Higher ceilings often look better closer to 36".

Should the chandelier be smaller than the table?

Yes. A safe rule is to keep the chandelier about 12 inches narrower than the table width (or diameter) so it doesn’t feel crowded.

What about entryways and foyers?

For foyers, choose a chandelier that leaves comfortable headroom. Many designs look best when the bottom is at least 7 feet above the floor (higher for tall spaces).
