I’m often asked how high to hang a chandelier over a dining table or pendants over a kitchen island.  There are general guidelines to use, but often it comes down to preference.  Typically, a chandelier is hung about 30′ to 36″ above a table,  My dining room chandelier (shown) is actually 37″ above the table.  When we were hanging it, it felt too low at 35-36″ and felt right at 37″. Size of your chandelier should be approximately 1/2  to 2/3’s the width of your table.  My table is 42″ wide and my chandelier is about 28″ wide. Tip:...
