The Role of Scale: Choosing the Right Chandelier Size

By Yvonne Haveland Evensen

Scale plays a crucial role in how a chandelier is experienced within a space. A well-proportioned piece feels balanced and intentional, while an incorrect size can disrupt the harmony of the room.

When selecting a chandelier, ceiling height, table size and room volume should all be considered together. The goal is not to fill the space, but to anchor it—allowing the lighting to enhance the architecture rather than overpower it.

Thoughtful scale creates a sense of calm and cohesion, ensuring the piece feels timeless within its surroundings.
