Good Company, Good Food - and Good Lighting: Create a dining area that fits your lifestyle
|
The dining room of today is rarely used just for entertaining and formal dining. Most often the dining table doubles as a work zone for homework or projects, meetings and crafts, and last, but not least as a gathering place for family and friends. A place where everyone can unwind over a good meal and enjoy each other's company. With open floor plans many formal dining rooms have been replaced by dining areas that are the central hub of the home, close to the kitchen and other living areas. The right lighting will set the perfect mood for your dining experience and also provide ample task lighting. The trick to accomodating both well is using a dimmer as well as hanging the chandelier or pendant light at the correct hight over the table. Layers of light will create the ideal illumination that is pleasing without creating glare. Instead of trying to illuminate an entire dining room with a single light source, like a chandelier or a pendant light, the best balance of illumination is achieved by using a variety of light sources. A single chandelier that is capable of illuminating an entire room will most likely be too bright for comfort.

Add a few wall sconces, a couple of buffet lamps, a torchiere in a corner and you will immediately feel a tremenduous difference in the overall atmosphere of the room. To highlight the crystal in your china cabinet, use a halogen bulb - the bright, white light will bring out its sparkle.
Below you see a sample of our light fixtures which are popular choices for dining areas. For the more complete selections , please go to the individual categories like Chandeliers, Pendant Lighting, MonoRail, Cable Lighting or to the individual lighting manufacturers.
