HomeSize guide
Fit
Measure your room and ceiling, not the box. Our lights list their width, height and drop so you can hang them with confidence.
Match the width of the pendant to the table below it, then set the drop for your ceiling.
| Table width | Pendant width | Hang height |
|---|---|---|
| 80–100 | 30–40 | 75 |
| 100–150 | 45–60 | 75 |
| 150–200 | 60–80 | 75 |
| 200+ | 80+ or a row of three | 75 |

A floor lamp's shade should sit at about eye level when you are seated.
| Height | Best for | Shade position |
|---|---|---|
| 120 | Beside a low sofa | Eye level seated |
| 145 | Armchair, reading corner | Just above seated eye level |
| 170 | Open room, standing lamp | Above standing shoulder |
Dimensions in centimetres
A table lamp should be about two thirds the height of the table's width at most, with the shade just below eye level seated.
| Surface | Lamp height | Shade width |
|---|---|---|
| Bedside table | 35–45 | 20–28 |
| Desk | 40–50 | 15–25 |
| Console | 50–65 | 25–35 |

Pick a light by the room, not just the look. As a rule, a pendant should be about half the width of the table beneath it.
| Light | Typical use | Width | Hang height |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wall light | Hallway, bedside | 10–25 | 150–170 from floor |
| Table lamp | Desk, bedside | 20–35 | Shade at eye level seated |
| Pendant | Table, island | 30–80 | 75 above the table |
| Floor lamp | Reading corner | 30–50 | Shade at eye level seated |
