If hanging a chandelier in a living room follow these steps.

(1) Measure room dimensions (length, width, and ceiling height.

(2) Add length + width and convert to inches. For example, a 10’ x 10’ room would convert to 20”. So the recommended chandelier width is about 20”. Finally, leave at least 7’ of space between the floor and the bottom of the chandelier. For example, a room with a 9’ ceiling should have a fixture with an overall height no larger than 24”.
