Chandeliers over a dining table

Over a dining table, the chandelier should be half to two thirds of the table’s width — 18 to 24 in over a 36 in table. Hang the lowest point 30 to 34 in above the top.

People sit under it, so it is judged from below and from the side. Over a long table two smaller fixtures hold the proportion better than one wide one.
