You'll want to make sure you choose the right size chandelier for the room. You don't want to be overwhelming but you don't want it to completely blend either. These simple guidelines will help you choose a chandelier that's the right size.
If you have a room that is less than 10'x10' then choose a 16" to 20" chandelier. If the room is around 12'x12' look at chandeliers that are around 26" to 28" in diameter, and 14'x14' rooms should have a diameter of 26" to 36". In fact an easy way to figure out what size chandelier you need is to add the room measurements together and convert to inches. So if your room is 10'x10' you need a chandelier that is 20 inches in diameter.
If the chandelier is going to hang over a table it should be around 30" from the surface of the table and that it should also be at least 12" narrower than your table. So for example let's say your table is 34" in diameter then your chandelier should be no bigger than 22" in diameter.
If you want your chandelier to be both fashionable and functional it should carry at least 150 watts of light. If you're looking for a more romantic softer finish consider a candle chandelier rather than electric.
