I've been looking for a chandelier for both our breakfast area and our dining room. I've searched on many different sites and surprisingly, Amazon has a great selection of chandeliers that would would look fabulous in many a farmhouse décor.
There are so many different styles of chandeliers that would fit within a dining room that is farmhouse style. You could choose, industrial, rustic, elegant or French. I'm sure there are a few more, but the style of a chandelier sets the mood for the whole room.
In addition to style, a chandelier should be the right size for the room. To determine the right size chandelier for a room, add up the two dimensions of the room. For example, if a room is 12 x 14, add up 12 + 14 and you get 26. So the chandelier should be about 26". For the height, measure the height from floor to ceiling and multiply by 2.5 to 3. If your ceiling height is 9 feet, multiply 9 x 2.5 to 9 x 3. So the best height of your chandelier would be 22.5" to 27" tall.
For a heavier chandelier such as the first one below, you could err on the side of a smaller chandelier... (click on the name of the chandelier in RED to go to the link)

and likewise, if it's a lighter, like this orb chandelier, you could go larger.

For a long rectangular table, a rectangular "chandelier" could be chosen if you like a more rustic style.

I love the combination of the traditional candelabra in a less refined orb. I think it’s so stylish.

I tend to be drawn to the more traditional curvy candle type chandeliers

I love this one, but it's too large for my breakfast room and I'd like a fancier chandelier in our formal dining room.

There are so many great French style chandeliers that would look great in any home with farmhouse style.

Thanks so much, Pam. I like when I get help narrowing down choices. I have a little coastal and farmhouse going on through the lakehouse, My foyer is a bit rustic so I wanted something to contrast and make a statement. The shabby chic candy is just perfect, I don't see it being shabby chic much though. That's something I got over ten years ago!
ReplyDeleteThanks, too, for the sizing info. Good luck finding what you want, and please share!
