Decorative Lighting Do’s & Dont’s

Lighting

A well lit room with the perfect mix of ambiance and task lighting can be gorgeous and overwhelming at the same time. But, we are here to make decorative lighting your new best friend! Oh, chandeliers. You and I must sit down and talk. Most people have a hard time sizing a fixture to fit a room perfectly. Makes complete sense!

Here are some general guidelines that should make the process of adding new and beautiful lighting to your space!

General Guidelines:

  • Approximate Room Size: 10'x10' : use a 17"-20"W Chandelier

  • Approximate Room Size: 12'x12' : use a 22"-27"W Chandelier

  • Approximate Room Size: 14'x14': use a 24"-32"W Chandelier

There are so many great options to choose from, the task can be daunting. Well, listen here.  Follow these guidelines (not rules) and you will be "A" okay! when it comes to purchasing your new precious Dining Room chandelier. Oh, and make sure to select a fixture that is between 1/2 to 2/3 width of your table, it is always safer to go larger than smaller.

Ciao!
