There is no fixed selection rule. Centerpiece size and relief requirements are best evaluated in conjunction with total room proportions.

Relief: The room ceiling height will determine the relief of the centerpiece. Generally, lower ceilings (8-9 feet) accept less centerpiece relief; higher ceilings (12-14 feet) greater relief.

Special Areas: Hallways, Foyers, small rectangular rooms and baths can be accented with oval centerpieces; front and rear halls with one centerpiece in each area; and large rectangular rooms (dining, banquet, ballrooms, double parlours) with two or more equally spaced centerpieces.
