In recent years, homeowners have become more creative with where they place their chandeliers. It is not unusual that chandeliers are placed in every room of the house, even in bathrooms and outside porches. They can be used to add character to a mundane entryway, elegance to an elaborate bathroom, or romance to a bedroom. You may even find a chandelier hanging in a nursery where babies are fascinated by the reflective crystals.
To right size the chandelier, begin by measuring the width of your room. The chandelier should be two inches in diameter for every foot. For example, a room that is 12 feet wide could use a chandelier that is 24 inches in diameter.
