How brilliant (no pun intended!) is the new Ballard catalog? The inside cover has a guide for lighting that includes how high you should hang your chandelier, how big your chandelier should be for the room and how much light you need. Here is a quick cheat sheet:
How High?
Dining Room - 30 to 32" above the table
Foyer - 7' from the floor
How Big?
Add the length and width of your room together and that gives you the diameter
of the chandelier (10' + 14' = 24, a 24" chandelier would work in the space)
How Much?
Room Length X Room Width X 1.5 = amount of wattage to light that room
How genius is this??? Love it!
