After. A mellow blue and white palette for the walls and vanity complements the new shower tile and vanity countertop.

How to Pick the Diameter of Your ChandelierWhen choosing a chandelier for most spaces, one general rule of thumb will give you a good guide on choosing a size:Width of room (in feet) + length of room (in feet) = diameter/width of chandelier (in inches).So, for example, if your room is 14 feet long by 10 feet wide, a 24-inch diameter chandelier would look proportionate (14 feet + 10 feet = 24 feet, which you convert to inches).
If your light will be centered on a seating area and not the entire room, use the approximate length and width dimensions of that area instead of the entire space. Another way to calculate this is to add the length the light will be from the two closest walls and then double it to get your approximate chandelier diameter in inches. For example, if the center of your seating area is 7 feet from one wall and 8 feet from the other, then 7 feet + 8 feet = 15 feet; 15 feet x 2 = 30 feet, which you convert to inches. So a 30-inch-diameter fixture would be a good fit.
