Question 5

Pendant or chandelier for a Nigerian dining room?

Accepted Answer

Size to the table either way. Below a 3.2m ceiling a pendant or a row of pendants suits most dining rooms and costs considerably less. Above 3.2m a chandelier fills the vertical space better.

Where	How many and at what height
Over a dining table	One centred fixture, or two to three in a row on a long table. Hang the bottom 75cm to 90cm above the tabletop, about 150cm to 165cm from the floor.
Over a kitchen island	Two for an island under 1.8m, three for 1.8m to 2.4m. Space them about 75cm apart, with at least 15cm between the end pendant and the end of the island. Bottom sits 165cm to 180cm from the floor.
Bedside	A pair, hung so the bottom is roughly 100cm to 120cm from the floor, which frees the space a table lamp would occupy.
Stairwell or entrance	A single long-drop pendant, or a staggered cluster. Keep the lowest point at least 210cm above the highest stair tread.
