How to Choose Your Light

A few notes to help you pick a fixture that scales to your room.

Dining rooms

Hang a chandelier or linear pendant so the bottom sits about 30–36 in (75–90 cm) above the table, with a width roughly half to two-thirds the width of the table.

Entryways & living rooms

Go a little bigger than feels safe — a statement fixture is meant to be the object that makes the room.

Bedrooms & bedside

Wall sconces free up the nightstand; mount around 30–36 in (75–90 cm) above the mattress.
