Scale and Size: Make sure the chandelier is proportional to the size of the room and the space where it will hang. Too small, and it might feel out of place; too large, and it could overwhelm the room (unless you are going for a maximalist vibe!).Style: Choose a chandelier that complements the overall style of the room. We feel that mixing old with new works really well, so this isn't a consideration. But do you think a bag chandelier, a spike or a mid century works best?Height: Make sure the chandelier hangs at an appropriate height. In dining rooms, it should be around 30-36 inches above the table. In other areas, make sure it’s not so low that it feels intrusive or unsafe.Functionality: Consider whether you need a chandelier to provide ambient lighting, task lighting, or simply as a decorative element. You might want dimmable options or shades for flexibility.Most importantly: Don't decorate your house for other people. What do YOU love and want to look at for years to come!?

In other areas, make sure it’s not so low that it feels intrusive or unsafe.You can adjust the height with different lengths of chain (available on our website) and sometimes I can make bag chandeliers shorter by pulling them up inside. We often advise people to make a rough template of the chandelier you are interested in. No art skills needed - a cereal box and a pair of scissors will do. You can then hang this in the space (using string or Sellotape) and see what you think. Here is a how to video.
