How high should I hang a chandelier?

Over a dining table: 30-36 inches above the surface. In open spaces: Ensure at least 7 feet of clearance from the floor. For ceilings taller than 8 feet, add 3 inches to the chandelier’s height for every additional foot of ceiling.

Can a chandelier provide enough light for an entire room?

Yes, if it is large enough and equipped with sufficient bulbs. However, for optimal lighting, chandeliers are often paired with additional light sources, such as wall sconces or recessed lighting.
