For a 9-foot high ceiling. Your chandelier should be about 33 to 37 inches above the table if your ceiling is higher than 9 feet. Add an additional 3 inches for each additional foot.
In the bedroom putting pendant lights over your nightstands is a unique departure from the standard lamp or wall mount sconce. The width of the pendant should be approximately half the width of the nightstand and hung about 20 to 30 inches above it.
Another way to add a dramatic flair to your bedroom is to use a chandelier. The placement of your bedroom chandelier will depend on the placement of the junction box.
