The Complete Light Sizing Guide

One of the most important things to consider when you’re thinking about buying lights or ceiling fans is the size. It’s especially important when you’re buying online, where you can’t see the fixtures in a space beforehand to understand the dimensions.

You don’t want to buy a fixture that’s too small and looks really puny in your space, right?

You don’t want to buy a fixture that’s way too big and overwhelms your room, do you?

You would ideally like to avoid having to pack up and return an item because it’s the wrong size, correct?

That’s why it’s really worth it to spend some time measuring out the important dimensions of your space. Yes, there will be some math involved, but we promise it won’t be too bad.

So, grab your measuring tape and something to take down your measurements—your phone, a notepad, the back of a grocery store receipt, whatever works for you!

Our light sizing guides will walk you through everything you need to know so you can get the perfect lights for your rooms.
