Hanging Chandelier

• A chandelier being hung in the dinning room must be placed in the middle of the dinning table and the room.
• It is best to buy a chandelier that is about a foot smaller that your dinning table.
• It must be placed at a distance of at about 48 inches from the edges of the room.
• If your ceiling is 8 feet high then the chandelier should be hung about 30 to34 inches above the dinning table.
• Light from the chandelier bulbs that are just above a person can be hot and uncomfortable.
• Do not use bulbs with high wattage, as they will cause excessive heat.
• Use a wall dimmer to control the intensity of light and to set the mood.
• Placing a chandelier in a lobby or foyer is an excellent way of demarking the interior of the house from the exterior.
• While fixing a chandelier in the foyer hang it at a height that it illuminates stairways clearly.
• Chandeliers hung in the lobby can be broad and longer than ones used in dinning rooms.
• Conceal the wire or chain of the chandelier with some pretty fabric. Use fabric that is thrice as long as the chain and it will give the chain a beautiful bunched up appearance.
• If you are finding it difficult to hang the chandelier ask your electrician to install it.
