I really feel that every situation is different.
Chandelier height above dining room table.
This range assumes you have an 8 foot ceiling.
First off i ll provide a guideline.
If the ceiling is higher the recommended standard is to raise the chandelier 3 inches for each additional foot of ceiling height.
Now that i ve told you that rule i m also going to tell you to disregard it.
The bottom of the fixture should be 32 to 36 inches above the tabletop.
Single chandeliers should be centered over the table or island while multiple chandeliers or pendants should hang 30 inches apart from each other.
Chandeliers over dining tables or kitchen islands should hang anywhere from 30 to 36 inches above the table.
Keep all lights at least 6 inches from the ends of the table or island.
If you ceiling is higher than 8 feet 2 4 m you can adjust the height accordingly based on the height of the table plus the height of the chandelier above the table.
