Sizing for big spaces
Use the room formula (length + width in metres × 10 = diameter in cm). In double-height spaces allow 7–8 cm of chandelier height for every 30 cm of ceiling height.
Height
In stairwells, hang it roughly level with the first-floor landing so it is seen from both floors, with 2.1 m headroom below.
Weight and access
Large chandeliers can weigh 15 kg or more. Plan the fixing and how you will reach it for cleaning and bulb changes.
Projects
For hotels and venues we can supply multiple pieces and matching wall lights; send the codes and quantities.
