There are several issues to consider when purchasing a chandelier for your home.   You will need some basic information in order to determine the proper size of  fixture and at what height the chandelier should hang at.   Follow the steps below:

Determine the height from the floor to the ceiling outlet.

Determine the length and width of the table, if the table is circular we would want the overall width.

The rule of the thumb for an 8 foot ceiling is the fixture diameter will be no smaller than half the width of the table.  The standard table width tends to be 42" wide, so the minimum fixture width shall be 21" wide or as large as 27-28" wide.  

The hanging height from the floor to the bottom of the fixture should be 5 feet, this is an average and you can adjust from there.

When the ceiling height is 10 feet or over, a fixture may be larger in both width and height.  

If you should have any questions concerning fixture sizing, please email dimensions of the area and if possible the fixtures that you are considering and we will give you our opinion on the matter.
