Today, the lighting experts from Lamp Arts offer some friendly advice on how to choose the right chandelier for your home. With so many styles and design options, they know it can be a daunting choice. So, keep these tips in mind when you go shopping, and you’re sure to end up with a chandelier that fits your space and your décor:

• Size Matters: The biggest mistake people make when purchasing a chandelier is forgetting to pay attention to scale and size. A perfectly proportioned chandelier should be 12 inches narrower than the table it hangs above and have at least 48 inches of space on all sides. Anything too large will make your space look cramped and awkward. Likewise, a chandelier that is too small for the space can look unnatural and odd. Bring room and table measurements with you when you shop to be sure. 
• Consider Ceiling Height: The dramatic look of ornate multi-tiered chandeliers has become popular in recent years, but many homeowners forget to consider how high their ceilings are. Standard ceilings have a height of about 8 feet, and while many chandeliers can accommodate standard ceilings, some large, elaborate designs may overwhelm the space unless you have vaulted ceilings that are at least 10 to 14 feet tall.
• Match Your Décor: Shopping for lighting is exciting and fun, but sometimes homeowners become so overwhelmed by their love of a unique piece that they forget to consider the general décor of their dwelling space. A vintage lighting gem like a crystal chandelier may be eye catching in the store, but if the rest of your home is filled with modern clean lines, it may look out of place when you install it. Consider bringing some pictures of your dining room with you when you shop; it can help you visualize the piece in your home.
