As night falls, we sit around the dining table after a busy day, enjoying delicious food and sharing the big and small things of the day with our family. The dining table has the taste of home. Each dining table carries one story after another, recording the life of each family.
The dining table is an important area for family emotions to gather. There are many details that need to be paid attention to in the configuration of lamps, such as "lamp size", "chandelier and dining table ratio", "dining table illumination", etc., among which the most troublesome is "chandelier height".
① How to determine the height of the dining table chandelier?
The height of the dining table is generally about 75-80cm. In order to avoid glare caused by the chandelier being too high, it is recommended to grab the distance of about 70-90cm from the bottom of the lampshade to the tabletop. Of course, the actual height still depends on the user's personal preference, which will vary slightly due to usage habits, family members' height and other factors.
The ideal height of the chandelier depends on the user's height
If there are children in the family, the corners of the children's eyes are lower than those of adults, and they are short and more likely to look directly at the light source, causing glare discomfort. In addition to choosing lamps with shading hoods and uniform light, it is also a smart and simple way to lower the height of the chandelier to 70cm from the table.
On the contrary, if family members are taller and are worried about collisions during service or activities, the height of the chandelier can be adjusted to 90cm from the table. This will not block visual communication during meals, and can also avoid getting up and bumping into the lamp.
The height of the chandelier can be adjusted through structural design, and it can be adjusted to the desired position at any time according to different needs and moods.
The effect of chandelier height on desktop brightness
In addition to the structural design of the lamp itself, the height of the chandelier will also directly affect the illumination received by the desktop. The higher the lamp is hung, the lower the desktop illumination; the lower it is hung, the higher the illumination. First, you need to understand whether there are other indirect and auxiliary light sources in the house, and then determine the required brightness according to the usage scenario.
Take the restaurant chandelier as an example: when you are resting and dining at the table, the brightness requirement is not high, and the floodlight glass lamp is enough to provide soft light for family dining; if you want to read or work, the brightness requirement is relatively high, and you should pay special attention to whether the illumination of the desktop is sufficient.

② Choose the right chandelier size according to the building height
When choosing a chandelier with a sense of design, the factors to consider include brightness, eye comfort, and more importantly, whether it can add atmosphere to the home space. At this time, it is necessary to make a comprehensive assessment of the size, quantity, and height of the lamps.
First, you can choose according to the layout and height of the home, and grasp the visual ratio of the lamps and space. Large chandeliers are often the first choice for wide spaces, and the heavy lighting volume naturally becomes the focus of attention. The neat and slender long chandelier is not easy to produce a sense of oppression even if the ceiling is low. Medium-sized chandeliers with a volume between the two are suitable for most house types. In addition, if interactive structures can be added, the lighting atmosphere will be richer and more interesting.
