A dining chandelier is the easiest one to get right, because the table does the deciding rather than the room.

What size chandelier for a dining table?

The fitting should be about half to two-thirds the width of the table, and never wider than the table itself. For a six-seat table around 36 inches wide, that means roughly 20 to 24 inches across. Over a long rectangular table, a linear fitting or two smaller chandeliers usually reads better than one round one.

How low to hang a chandelier over a dining table

Hang the base 30 to 36 inches above the tabletop. Lower than 30 and it blocks the sightline across the table; higher than 36 and the light stops feeling like it belongs to the table. On ceilings above nine feet, add roughly three inches of height for every extra foot.

Light quality at the table

Dining light should be warm and dimmable. Antique and seeded glass softens the source, which matters at a table where people look up into the fitting. Crystal throws more sparkle and suits a formal room; brass with fabric shades is the quieter choice.
