What width chandelier can I put over a 54 inch round table?

3 years ago

The tray ceiling above the table is 10 feet high. The room space is open and approximately 13 and 1/2 feet X 10 feet. I would like to hang the widest one possible without overpowering the room.

Generally you would want to leave about 3-4 feet above the table for the fixture. If you are centering it above the table, then you want to find something where the diameter of the pendants are proportional with the table. For our clients we would suggest leaving at least 5 inches on each side, so nothing with a bigger diameter than 44-45 inches. Please find some lovely examples of Shakuff fixtures over tables below and please let us know if you should need any additional help. We would love to work with you on a custom fixture for your space.

BTW Carrie, seems like every sofa and chair I've looked at lately has been 39-40" deep, so I was figuring you would have the depth for 36". Hmmm. Sorry. Also, I meant to tell you that I really agree with your decision on the bay window. That was a great addition and it sounds like your kitchen will really open up to the garden too. Hope you post photos when you get it done, and love that you have a job you don't hate! We moved our patio table inside. I'm comfortable with 54". My sons and DH want bigger -- would really like 60". We're leaving it in place to get used to a different perspective -- we're used to a 36x54 rectangle that opens to 54 square in that space.

I am so happy to see this, This was the type of fixture I had been wanting to buy but was afraid that it would disappear in the space. I love the simplicity of this fixture and it looks perfect, to me, with your table and chairs. Thank you so much for posting this picture. Oh, what brand did you purchase? There are several manufacturers of this.

I'm sure someone already mentioned size: Rule of thumb: chandelier should be ½ to ¾ the width of your table. So for a 60" round table, your chandelier is fine - minimum would be 30" in width to 45" width centered over the table.

I would do a rectangle shape, no wider than 48”, and you might be able to get by with 6’ long. Your biggest factor is the size of your chairs. Benches wouldn’t take much room. I don‘t think they’re very comfortable but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

Here's what Ballard recommends: "A good rule of thumb is to make sure your chandelier is one-half to three-quarters the width of your table. For the right hanging height, position the bottom of the chandelier about 30-32 inches above the table, adjusting to work with the size of the table and the overall scale of your space."

IMO there is a range of sizes you can consider depending on the scale and volume of the fixture. Normally I would suggest about 32" in diameter, however, you can see below that you can go larger if you hang it higher in the room.
