Once you have decided upon the size and style of your chandelier, you must next decide on what sort of lighting effect you're on the lookout for. While all candelabrums direct light upwards and bounce it off the ceiling to produce a warm glow throughout the room, some are built to produce downlight. These candelabrums better illuminate the dining room table and provide an added advantage of accent lighting for centerpiece displays. For some, it is feasible to produce the downlight effect by adding miniature lamp shades around every one of the light bulbs.

Finally, candelabrums must be mounted at the proper height to give the proper aesthetic appearance as well as provide sufficient illumination. In rooms with ceilings less than 9 feet tall, candelabrums should be mounted 30 inches above the dining room table. If the ceiling is 9 feet tall or more, mount the chandelier an additional 3 inches higher from the table.

It's important to make sure that you select one that atmosphere without utterly dominating it. By using the tips provided above, you should be able to find the candelabrum that may supply a dining atmosphere conducive to your preferences.
