Recommended Chandelier Size for This Bohemian Macrame Light
To choose the appropriate size for this boho-style cotton macrame chandelier, consider the room size, ceiling height, and the chandelier's visual weight. Here are specific recommendations:
Living Room Size Recommendations
1. Standard Living Room (160–270 sq. ft / 15–25 m²)
Diameter: 16–20 inches (40–50 cm)
Height: 16–20 inches (40–50 cm)
Hanging Height: The bottom of the light should be 82–90 inches (210–230 cm) above the floor.
2. Small Living Room or Corner Setup (100–160 sq. ft / 10–15 m²)
Diameter: 12–16 inches (30–40 cm)
Height: 12–16 inches (30–40 cm)
Hanging Height: Light bottom should be 79–87 inches (200–220 cm) from the floor.
3. High Ceiling Areas (Ceiling over 9 ft / 2.8 m)
Choose a longer design or one with extended macrame tassels.
Chain or cord length can be adjusted to 24–36 inches (60–90 cm) for better proportion.
Tips for Choosing the Right Size
Visual Balance: Since the macrame style gives a soft, voluminous look, choose a size slightly smaller than what a metal fixture might require.
Harmony with Furniture: Ideally, the chandelier should be about 2/3 the diameter of your coffee table for balanced aesthetics.
