Frequently Asked Questions about High Ceiling Chandeliers

How to Choose Chandeliers for High Ceilings?

When selecting the best high ceiling chandelier, the first thing is approximating the height measurements. This is necessary so one can determine how long the chain it hangs from should be and to guide with the diameter of the fixture from connected materials so that the scale is appropriate.
A quick rule to follow, add the width and length of the room (in feet) to get the chandelier size right. So, if the room is 12 by 12 feet, then you should choose a chandelier that measures 24 inches. Do keep in mind to match the style of the chandelier with that of the room. 

What Type of Lighting is Best for High Ceilings?

If you have a high ceiling that seems to be almost too much for the space, having the right lights to go with your ceiling is important; otherwise, it’s going to be a cave with some ambiance. Pendant lights? Good choice. 
Large overhead fixtures? Even better. But if you want to be fancy, there's always the option of large chandeliers for high ceilings that just screams “Look at me!”
The lights also better be BRIGHT or else, you’ll be brooding in a dark corner hunting for your mobile phone.  A good rule of thumb for estimating wattage is to multiply the total square footage of your room by 1.5.
Also don't forget the atmosphere-the light color counts as well. What look are you going for: cool and modern, then go with the cooler lights (about 3500K). Or are you closer to those cozy and warm, "let's drink tea and talk about life" feelings? Stick with warm whites (around 3000K).

What Height Should a Chandelier be for a High Ceiling?

If your ceiling is tall, and I mean "castle-like tall," the rule of thumb for installing high ceiling chandeliers is about 80 to 110 inches off the floor. This way it will fill the vertical space naturally without letting the chandelier feel like it's in attack mode against you. 

What Size Chandelier for a 20 Foot Ceiling?

20-foot ceilings demand that you avoid choosing a small chandelier. Instead, opt for something more bold and hence larger-something that measures between 40 to 60 inches in height. 
A good trick to follow is to multiply the ceiling height by 2.5-3 inches for each foot and voilà! That is your chandelier size. That way the chandelier height will be proportional to the height of the room and won't look out of place.

How to Install a Chandelier on High Ceiling?

Great! You have bought the chandelier you've always dreamed of! Now comes the fun part —getting the thing up there. You may think, "I built an entire bookshelf with just two leftover screws, so I got this." But let's face it, there's a reason we mentioned topsy-turvy for chandelier etiquette.; along with that, they are very capable of electrifying you if not handled carefully.
So, here's the deal: hire a pro unless you really, really like unnecessary risk. If you choose to do it by yourself (after all, why not bring a little adventure to your life?), make sure you:
●    Have the right tools-voltmeter (so as not to electrocute yourself), wire cutter and a ladder that won't let you down.
●    Reconfirm that your ceiling junction box can handle the weight. If not reinforce it unless you want to play chandelier roulette.
●    Don’t rush it. Because nothing says bad idea like a half-installed chandelier crashing down in the middle of dinner.
