Chandelier for Dining Room too large?
Comments (6)yes, it will be (as someone who spent long time calculating light dimensions for standard ceilings for her own dining room ) you might have the width(will be very big)..your dining seems pretty big..I think you don't have the height to pull it off 8 feet ceiling-you have 96 inches allover correct? you need minimum 12' of these to go into chain..(canopy will add smth marginally too.) Let's round it down say it'a 12 '..and your height of chandelier without the chain is 33'..at a very minimum there are your 45 inches. It's visually light so lets say you can allow it be 29, 28 over the table? (usually 30-32..but I believe the shape here is forgiving and can be closer). so okay let's even make it (doubtful) 28'..28' plus minimum 45' of chandelier plus chain leave us with 73 inches used already. We had 96. 96-73=23. Dining table height is usually 30 inches. You'll try to force this beautiful piece-and it won't work. You can try and find smaller piece..or some companies customise..change proportions so it'll work in your space(well until a certain degree). But it comes with upcharge. Everybody's welcome to point out where I grossly miscalculated.....See MoreIs this sectional too large for my room?

Comments (16)The prices I referenced were based on actual quotes, so they are high, but they aren't high guesses. I quoted this because the question was about "very high quality broadloom" and I would put 100% wool Wilton weave imported from Italy in this category. That doesn't mean that there aren't a bunch of decent quality tufted broadloom options out there for less. I guess you have to define very high quality--which can mean different things to different people, and what a very high price is, which can also mean different things. I think those quotes are expensive but that's what they were. Rugs from RH are hand knotted, but in this size you can also pay $5000-7000 pretty easily too. And there are lots of less pricey options there, too. The thing to do when getting broadloom cut is to optimize what you are getting. If the mill width is 13.5', you might as well size it as close to the mill with by as close to whatever running yard amount works for the room: If you got a 12x16 exactly for example, you would be wasting 1.5 feet along the length and you might have to buy 6 running yards (18 feet) to cut it down to 16. So there would be waste at the end. Some carpets you can by in increments of yards though. But if a 13.5 foot width by slightly under 15 foot length would do the trick, then you would be utilizing everything you bought. The less expensive the carpet the less you have to be concerned about waste, money wise. The binding also adds to the cost. The least expensive option is to use twill tape that matches or blends with the pile, color matched serging is more expensive, and decorative binding more expensive again....See MoreK R
