Hi I need help deciding on the style and size of a dining chandelier. I just moved into a new home in Florida . It is a great room concept. So kitchen, dining and living areas are all one large room. First dilemma, the size of my dining table It is new and without a leaf it is 44x72 With one leaf it is 44x92. (Picture shows table with one leaf) I think it needs to be at 92. Seems too small without leaf. Thoughts please. So depending on size of table in this open format room What size of fixture. I have a tray ceiling for a 10 ft height in dining area. I am thinking antique silver chandelier as it would go well with the black buffet and I have silver accent pieces. The kitchen backsplash has some silver inset tiles. I like the drum shade look as well as some antique silver transitional pieces. I have one socket so 2 fixtures are not an option. Should I go with a longer oblong chandelier as opposed to a round or square. Picture show one of the drum fixtures I saw and liked. But it is 24 w x 17 h . Also tyle of pendants need to coordinate on large kitchen island. Thank you

I love the look of the orb. Have one in our Florida condo. I would buy the large in a heartbeat if I could send back for free. That is what I hate about online shopping. You are correct, busybee, the diameter is 29. The height is 35. That includes the crystal. I think having another person look at it with me will help me decide. I am back to thinking that the scale of the larger one is correct. Here is a pic of the room with the current chandelier which is about 25 across/tall. The chandelier looks wimpy in the pic, I think. It is pulled up really high to be out of the way during demo. Big block in room is old fridge getting donated.

I'm happy you asked! Since you said your table is 60 inches, look for chandeliers between 40 inches (2/3 of the table diameter) and 45 inches (3/4 of the table diameter). Advice from our guide to light sizing

That reminds me of the Farlane Chandelier from McGee & Co. A blogger who is putting this in her new build is Z Design At Home.
