We measure from the floor to the lowest point of the lamp.
Do you want to be able to walk under the lamp?
We recommend a height of at least 200 cm.
Many doors are two meters high.
Will the lamp be hung above a (dining) table?
Then we recommend a height of at least 160 cm.
Is the room higher than three meters?
In high rooms it is nicer if the lamp hangs higher, this enhances the feeling of space.
So the higher the room, the higher the lamp can hang.
This Maria Theresia chandelier hangs in a room with a height of 290 cm that slopes down to 205 cm.
The bottom of the lamp hangs at 185 cm from the floor.
The lamp with chain therefore comes down 105 cm from the ceiling.
The diameter of the lamp is 65 cm and the height is also 65 cm.
Our advice
We think this chandelier looks so beautiful in this room.
If the room height here were 260 cm, we would recommend shortening the chain by approximately 15 cm.
The bottom of the lamp would then hang at 170 cm.
This Dutch chandelier hangs in a room with a height of 365 cm.
The bottom of the lamp hangs at 230 cm from the floor.

Our advice

If the room height were 320 cm, we would recommend shortening the chain by approximately 20 cm.

With a room height of four meters or higher, we recommend adjusting the bottom of the lamp to around 2.5 meters or higher.
The diameter of our chandeliers varies from 40 to 100 cm. We cannot transport larger chandeliers. This is large enough for most rooms.
In a large room of approximately three meters high, a lamp with a diameter of 50 – 90 cm will suffice.
And make the choice that suits you, there is no such thing as a “too small or too big” lamp.
In order to give you good advice, it is important for us that you know the height of the rooms, measuring is knowing.
