Here's a simple method:

Measuring Your Room

1. Add the length and width of your room in feet.
2. Convert the total to inches.
3. Add or subtract 10% for personal preference.

Example:

• Room size: 12 feet x 10 feet
• Total: 12 + 10 = 22 feet = 264 inches
• Ideal ceiling light diameter: 264 inches ± 10% (approximately 238 to 290 inches)

NB:

For tall ceilings, consider a chandelier or pendant light with a longer drop. For low ceilings, flush mounts or semi-flush mounts are better options.

The size of the light will depend on the room's function. For example, a dining room might require a larger chandelier, while a bedroom could use a smaller flush mount.

• Semi-flush mounts have a short downrod, offering a slightly more decorative look.
• Pendant lights hang from the ceiling and are available in various lengths and styles. They can be used in multiple configurations for different effects.
• Chandeliers are ornate and decorative ceiling lights, often used in formal or dining areas.
