How high should a chandelier hang in a dining room?

A dining room chandelier should hang about five feet eight inches to six feet above the floor. This height prevents guests from bumping into it while creating balanced lighting. For standard eight-foot ceilings, position the fixture roughly thirty inches above the table surface. Adjust upwards for taller ceilings. Correct chandelier height adds elegance and better illumination, making your dining area feel more inviting and polished immediately.
