Installing the right lighting in your dining room will bring out the best in the design of the space. It is the icing on the dining room cake. Lighting can be made up of various layers, so whether your dining table is used for formal dinners, everyday eating or working from home, the lighting should be suited to your needs, as well as making the space feeling warm and welcoming.
CHANDELIERS
Whether celestial inspired, sculptural or modern, a chandelier can be a stunning focal point. It creates even light distribution over a dining room table, connects the people sitting below it, and eliminates unappealing dark spots. Dimmable globes are important to create the desired ambience. When deciding on a chandelier, ensure it complements the overall interior design and style of the home.

WALL LIGHTS
Wall lights are a great option if you don’t have a light point that is central to your table or if your table is pushed up against or close to a wall. Their flexibility allows you to position the light right where needed, freeing up valuable floor and table space.
For renters, the plug-in wall light is also a great option for personalising your space without having to invest in expensive light fixtures.

FLOOR LAMPS
Floor lamps in dining rooms work especially well when you need some extra ambient low lighting in the room. They can be positioned alongside a sideboard or some casual seating, creating a cosy and inviting ambiance.
