Size and Placement of Kitchen Chandeliers
Choosing the right kitchen chandelier depends on both size and placement. A chandelier that fits the space well makes the kitchen feel balanced. One that is too large can feel heavy, while one that is too small may not give enough light. Placement also matters because kitchens are active spaces used for cooking, eating, and gathering. Good positioning helps improve lighting and keeps the area clear and, most importantly, safe.
