Chandeliers for 8 ceilings.
For every foot estimate 2 5 to 3 of chandelier height multiply the ceiling height by the chandelier height convert the measurement unit to inches for example if your dining room has an 8 foot ceiling then a 24 inch chandelier is the best fit for your space.
I ve gathered up some of my favorite chandelier lighting today for 8 ceilings.
First let s look at close to the ceiling fixtures.
For your ceiling higher than 8 hang the chandelier a little higher.
If your chandelier is going to be hanging above a table you will need to take the ceiling height and table size into account as you want the chandelier be proportionate to the table.
As a general rule the bottom of the fixture should hang between 30 and 36 from the tabletop.
Many of our flush mount chandeliers designed for 8 foot ceiling heights are also convertible to hanging fixtures with chain provided to offer additional flexibility.
When hanging a chandelier with a chain trim the chain to the hang height required.
For example if your room is 10 x 14 which would equal 24 the optimal diameter of your chandelier would be 24.
If you have 8 foot ceilings make sure the chandelier above your table is 20 to 24 inches in height.
Our selection of low ceiling lighting covers styles including traditional rustic modern and many more.

For 10 foot ceilings buy a chandelier that is 30 to 36 inches tall.
Suspended lighting fixtures are not off limits for an 8 foot ceiling but there are a few considerations you ll want to make.
When your ceiling is only 8 feet high any hanging fixture will need to be over a space that you do not walk under.
The second way is to select a chandelier that is three quarters the width of your dining table.
If you will be walking under it a flush mount is likely your best bet.
Hang these so there is a minimum 8 foot clearance.
What s the rule for chandeliers above nightstands.
Landings and entryways usually have high ceilings that are perfect for tall chandeliers.
As you would with a dining table choose a chandelier with a diameter that is in proportion to your nightstand.
