Dining Room Lighting Ideas & Tips

Dining room lighting should be both beautiful and functional.

• Don’t be afraid to be different when choosing general lighting over the table. Consider pendants or multiple mini-chandeliers.

• The chandelier is the focal point of the dining room. It serves as a decorative style element that enhances the beauty of fine furnishings. If equipped with a downlight, the chandelier can also provide task lighting for the table and accent lighting for a centerpiece.

• A buffet or sideboard can be flanked with wall sconces or buffet lamps. Choose fixtures that complement the style of your chandelier.

• Recessed downlights around the dining table can supplement the light from the chandelier, while providing accent lighting for your tableware.

• The pure white light of LED or low-voltage fixtures with halogen bulbs can make your crystal and silverware sparkle.

• Accent displayed objects with recessed downlights installed in the ceiling.

• Add drama to a special picture with recessed adjustable accent fixtures.

• Don’t forget to add LED tape lighting behind perimeter coves, inside tray ceiling and around the millwork of a coffered ceiling
