The right chandelier makes the dining table the heart of the home. A simple guide to diameter, height and proportion.
The dining chandelier is the most intimate piece in a home — it hangs at eye level, over the table where a family actually gathers. Get its size right and the whole room finds its centre.
While a bespoke piece is designed to your exact room, a few principles help you picture the result before we begin.
As a guide, a chandelier reads best at roughly half to two-thirds the width of the dining table — generous enough to command the setting, contained enough not to crowd it. We refine this against your room's proportions.

Hung too high, a dining chandelier feels remote; too low, it intrudes. The sweet spot creates a warm pool of light over the table while keeping sightlines clear across it — a balance we calculate to your ceiling.
The dining chandelier is the only luxury you sit beneath every single evening.
Every dimension is ultimately tuned to your space — the approach behind every bespoke chandelier we make. Explore the couture lighting collection to begin.
