Dining Room Lighting

The Dining room is mainly used as a place to eat and sometimes entertain guests. Usually the table is the centre piece for the room. Lighting can play a large role in creating the mood when entertaining guests.

Creating the right mood can be comprised of many different lighting techniques. Firstly you should take into the account the size and decoration of the room. Well planned lighting can add to the quality of space available.
Decide on your focal point, do you want the lighting to be the first thing people comment on?

A chandelier hung 30 inches above the surface of the table will create ample illumination for dining. If you hang the light fitting too low it will be in the way and guests will end up peering around it. Clear bulbs in crystal or glass chandeliers will enhance sparkle
