How the Calculator Works
The calculator uses the room dimensions to determine the ideal diameter and height for a chandelier. If table dimensions are provided, it calculates the diameter based on an average of the table’s length and width. Otherwise, the diameter is based on the sum of the room’s length and width. The height of the chandelier is estimated to be about one-third of the room’s height.
Limitations
