Thank you both for your input. I have some additional questions and information: Karen: How far from the ceiling should the chandelier hang given the 8 foot height of the ceiling and the 16 inch height of the chandelier. Patricia: The chandelier is a vintage Bakalowits and Sohne Miracle chandelier which is a variant of a more traditional sputnik chandelier.

Fantastic light. There is a formula of adding length and width of a room and then converting that to inches, so yours would be 38", then plus of minus 10% according to the room. That would leave you in the low 40" range. However, your huge ceiling height has to be accounted for too. And, because the fixture lines are slender, I think you can go up in size as well. In this case I bet 50" will be a great size.

Rectangular for sure. But I think you need something with some contrast, not white/clear glass. Maybe something with a black frame to pick up on the stair rails? I like Hubbardton Forge lighting..
