In most dining rooms, the dining table is lit by a chandelier on the ceiling. Whatever the taste of the owners, most likely they will prefer lighting above the table. The question is at what height should it be placed.
The most important condition is the distance between the chandelier and the table so that the latter is sufficiently lit, and so that the chandelier does not interfere with the diners talking to each other, blocking their faces.
At what height does the chandelier
The basic rule is that the distance between the lamp and the table surface is 75 - 90 cm, given that the height of the walls is 240 cm.
Some designers advise increasing the distance by 2 cm for every additional 10 cm of wall height. But other experts argue that this is not necessary.
If your dining room ceiling is higher than usual, then the best recommendation would be to try to hang the chandelier at different heights. As soon as you are satisfied with a certain height, the chandelier can be safely mounted on the ceiling.
Sometimes the style and size of the chandelier also affects the height of the lighting. If the chandelier is large and complex in design, then it makes sense to raise it 5 cm higher. But first, hold her at that height to see if she looks good.
