Hi Jeanne, The old school dated look is for the chandelier to be too small and hung up too high. Go through images and you will notice how much larger in scale chandeliers are today. Also it is surprising how low you can hang them and still see everyone at the table. There is more of a closing in at the table experience to make a dining space more intimate in our contemporary world.

A simple way to determine a chandelier size is to add the dimensions of the room together in feet and then convert the answer to inches. The answer in inches should equal the diameter of the fixture. So if your room measures 10' x 14' the diameter of the fixture should be about 24" I would get the large

That will depend on the fixtures so post pics of what ones you are considering. BTW you will need to stay with no wider than 42" make sure what you buy allows 36" min all around the table and you will pobably need a buffet too so allow for that in your measurements .We also need a bit of info as to your style. Ideally a pic of the table and chairs and space too.
