Answer
Hang your living room chandelier approximately seven feet above the walking path to maintain comfortable clearance and avoid obstructed views. Position the chandelier centrally over key furniture, like above a coffee table or seating area, but avoid placing it too high where it feels cold or disconnected from the room. Combining it with complementary wall sconces and table lamps at about sixty-two inches height balances the space visually and functionally, creating a cozy layered light atmosphere that enhances the room’s style and comfort.
