Selecting the correct size ensures your lighting feels balanced, intentional, and architectural — never overpowering or undersized. Use the guidance below to choose with confidence.
Chandeliers (Dining Room & Bedroom)
Room Size Formula
Add your room’s length and width (in feet). That number (in inches) equals your ideal chandelier diameter.
Example: 12ft + 14ft room = 26 inch chandelier.
Over a Dining Table
Your chandelier should be ½ to ⅔ the width of your table.
Example: 180cm table → 90–120cm chandelier.
Hang the fixture 75–90cm above the tabletop.
In a Bedroom
Ensure the bottom of the chandelier sits at least 2.1m (7ft) from the floor.
If centred above the bed, allow 75–90cm clearance above mattress height.
For ceilings above 2.7m, selecting a slightly larger diameter improves visual proportion.
Kitchen Pendant Lights
Number of Pendants
1.2m island → 2 pendants
1.8m island → 3 pendants
2.4m+ island → 3–4 pendants
Pendant Width
Standard island → 25–35cm diameter pendants
Large island → 35–45cm diameter pendants
Fewer, larger pendants often create a more refined, architectural look.
Spacing Guidelines
Allow 15–30cm between pendants.
Keep at least 15cm from island edges.
Hanging Height
Suspend pendants 75–90cm above the countertop.
All NYRA pendants come with adjustable drop lengths unless otherwise stated.
Staircase & Double-Height Chandeliers
Diameter Formula
Add the stairwell length and width (in feet). That number (in inches) equals your ideal chandelier diameter.
Recommended Drop Length:
For double-height ceilings, the chandelier should drop approximately ½ to ⅔ of the total ceiling height.
Example: 6 metre ceiling → 3–4 metre drop.
All NYRA chandeliers include adjustable suspension lengths.
Clearance
Maintain a minimum 2.1m clearance from walking areas for safety and balance.
Installation & Compatibility:
Adjustable Suspension
All chandeliers and pendants include adjustable cables, rods, or chains to suit your ceiling height.
Sloped Ceiling Compatibility
Ceiling plates can be manufactured to suit sloped or angled ceilings upon request.
Bulbs & Dimming
Bulbs are included unless otherwise specified.
Fixtures can be made dimmable when paired with a compatible dimmer switch.
Ceiling Height Recommendation
