HOW TO CHOOSE THE PERFECT LIGHTING SIZE


OVER A TABLE

OVER A TABLE The fixture’s diameter should be ½ to ⅔ of the width of the table.
Allow 30 to 34 inches between the surface of the table and the bottom of the fixture.

NOT OVER A TABLE

For an ideal fixture diameter, take the sum of your room’s length and width and convert it to inches.
Allows 7 feet from the floor to the bottom of your light fixture.
Each foot of ceiling height should represent 2.5 to 3 inches for your chandelier’s height (excluding chain).

KITCHEN ISLAND

Allow 30 to 34 inches between the top of the island and the bottom of the light fixture.
The space between the pendants should be larger than the diameter of the pendant.

FOYER CHANDELIER

If you have a 2-story foyer, the bottom of your fixture should not be lower than the second floor.
Foyers with windows, be sure to center the chandelier within the window.

BATHROOM SCONCES

The bottom of the shade should be less than 60 to 65 inches from the floor.

BATHROOM VANITY

The fixture should be at least 24 inches wide and should be the same size or smaller than the mirror.
Allow 75 to 80 inches between the surface of the floor and the bottom of the light fixture.

BEDSIDE LAMP EYELINE

The bottom of the shade should not come as high as the eyeline of someone sitting on the bed. The shortest person to use the bed regularly would be a good bar to set for this measurement. Use the measurement to purchase the right lamp.

FLOOR LAMP EYELINE

The bottom of the lamp shade should not be lower than the eye level of a seated person. It can be at or above eye level. If you're buying multiple floor lamps, try to keep them all within a close height range. This prevents each led standing lamp from looking awkwardly tall or short.
