The architectural correct way to pick the size of a medallion:
Multiply the length of the room; then divide by the number of fixtures in a room ((L x W) / # of fixtures) = X
Using the chart, pick the appropriate ceiling height. Divide the number above by the fixed divider.
| Height of Ceiling |
Fixed Divider |
| 8' - 10' |
10 |
| 12' - 14' |
8 |
| 16' - 18' |
6 |
For example: Length = 20';
Width = 25'; # of fixtures = 2;
Ceiling heigth is 12'; then:
20'(L) x 25'(W) = 500' /2(# of fixtures) = 500 / 8(fixed divider) = 31.25"
Your would need two medallions that are approximately 31"W.
