Have you ever seen a light fixture that looked amazing in the store, only to bring it home and realize it's way too big or small for your space? Choosing the right size light fixture for your room can be a daunting task, but fear not, we've got you covered! In this guide, we'll show you how to choose the perfect size fixture for your space, without sacrificing style. Plus, we'll introduce you to Aurora Lighting and Supply's knowledgeable experts who are always happy to help make the right decisions.
To start, measure the length and width of your room in feet, then add those numbers together to get the approximate diameter in inches for a ceiling fixture. For example, if your room is 12 feet long by 10 feet wide, a 22-inch fixture would be appropriate. For chandeliers, measure the length and width of the room in feet, then add those numbers together and convert to inches. If your room is 15 feet by 10 feet, a 25-inch diameter chandelier would be suitable.
But, don't forget to also consider the height of your ceiling, the style of your space, and the purpose of the fixture. A low ceiling may require a flush or semi-flush mount fixture, while a tall ceiling may benefit from a larger pendant or chandelier. And, if your room has a lot of patterns or textures, a simple, streamlined fixture may be the way to go.
When in doubt, Aurora Lighting and Supply's experts are always ready to lend a hand. With years of experience and a passion for lighting, we can help you choose the perfect size and style fixture for your home. Check out our online resources for more information.
