Lighting Size Guide

Choosing the right size light is essential for a balanced, modern interior. Use this guide to scale your pendants, chandeliers, wall lights and floor lamps correctly to your room.

Ceiling Lights & Chandeliers

• For general rooms, choose a chandelier or ceiling light with a diameter around one-third of the room’s width.
• Above a dining table, the fixture should be about 50–75% of the table width for a well-proportioned look.
• Ideal hanging height above a dining table is 75–90 cm from the tabletop.
• In open spaces, keep at least 213 cm (7 ft) clearance from floor to the bottom of the light.

Pendant Lights Over Counters & Islands

• Hang pendants approximately 70–85 cm above kitchen islands or counters.
• When using multiple pendants, space them roughly 30–45 cm apart for even lighting.

Wall Lights & Sconces

• Mount wall lights at a height of around 165–180 cm from floor level.
• For hallway or corridor lighting, space sconces approximately 180–240 cm apart, depending on brightness.

Floor & Table Lamps

• Lamp shades should sit close to eye level when seated to avoid glare and ensure comfort.
• Use floor lamps to fill darker corners and create layered lighting with ceiling and wall fixtures.
