Select the Style of Your Chandelier
Depending on the dimensions of your dining room table and the area surrounding it, the ideal chandelier for your Toronto home will vary. Some tables suit more oversized, rectangular chandeliers, while other tables look better with smaller, round crystal chandeliers. Typically, wider or longer tables suit large rectangular or tower chandeliers, whereas smaller oval tables better suit a rounded or mini spiral chandelier. At Siga Home Comfort, we offer various chandelier shapes, including round, spiral, rectangular, and more.
The Best Location for Chandelier Installation
At Siga Home Comfort, we recommend installing your chandelier centred over the dining table instead of centred in the middle of the room. If you have other furniture in your dining room, like couches or coffee tables, your chandelier may not be in the center of the room, and that's completely fine. Crystal chandeliers when compared to other light fixtures in Toronto create a breathtaking focal point, and when they're placed in the centre of a dining table, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the entire room.
How to Size Your Light Fixtures
A chandelier is an excellent addition to any dining room design, but selecting a suitable chandelier is crucial to complement your home. Chandeliers that are too small or too big can throw off the entire room's design. When choosing the size of your dining room chandelier, the rule of thumb is to choose a light fixture that is one-third of the length of your table, whether it's rectangular or oval. In most cases, selecting a more oversized chandelier rather than a smaller one is better, but be sure not to choose a fixture wider than the dining room table itself. When installing your chandelier, the typical guideline is to keep the bottom of the light fixture between 30-36 inches from the dining table's surface for an 8-foot ceiling height. If your ceiling is above 8 feet, raise the light fixture 3 inches higher for best results.
