Size Guidelines and Installation
Choose medium chandeliers based on your room dimensions and ceiling height. For dining rooms, select a fixture that's 12 inches narrower than your table width. In living rooms, add your room's length and width in feet to determine the ideal chandelier diameter in inches.
Standard installation requires 7 feet minimum clearance from floor to bottom of fixture. Most medium chandeliers include 6 feet of chain, allowing customization for your specific ceiling height.
Medium chandeliers suit rooms 12x12 to 16x16 feet with 8-10 foot ceilings. They work perfectly over dining tables seating 6-8 people.
How high should I hang my medium chandelier?
Hang chandeliers 30-36 inches above dining tables and 7 feet minimum from the floor in other areas. Adjust chain length as needed.
Do medium chandeliers work with sloped ceilings?
Yes, most medium chandeliers include sloped ceiling mounting hardware or can be ordered with canopy adapters for angled installation.
Can I dim medium chandeliers?
Most medium chandeliers work with dimmer switches when paired with dimmable bulbs. Check individual product specifications for compatibility.
What's the difference between medium and small chandeliers?
Medium chandeliers typically measure 24-36 inches wide, while small chandeliers measure 18-24 inches. Medium fixtures provide more light output and visual presence.
