A general rule of thumb can be used to determine an appropriate diameter for the ceiling fixture. Measure the length and the width of the room, add the two measurements and then convert the total to inches.

If your room is 10ft by 12 ft, the light fixture should be 22 inches wide.

 

 

 

TIP: Make sure the lighting fixture matches the style you’ve chosen for the room.

A big light fixture can be the focal point of your living room.

For a 4 foot wide table , look for a fixture that is not more than 2 feet wide.

TIP: Hang your fixture above the dining table.
