The dining room is the most important part of the house. It is the place where the whole family commits to the meals. Proper lighting sets the mood and atmosphere of the most special room in the house. The most favored are the lamps that create a soft and soothing aura. For this, it is important to achieve a balance between lighting because very bright lights can be harsh on the eye, while very dim lights obstruct visibility and make the room appear dark and dull. Chandeliers in the dining room should preferably have a dimmer switch so that the dining room can be used for a variety of activities, ranging from romantic dinners to a study area for the children.
Size matters
There are many options for lighting the dining room but the chandeliers are a favorite because they give elegance and dignity to the room. A chandelier attracts attention and is the center of the dining room. It is important that the chandelier not only works well with the decor scheme but is also of a suitable size. Sometimes a dining room requires more than one chandelier for proper lighting and may require layered lighting. If the dining room is large, it may require more than one chandelier to illuminate the area. The width of the chandelier should be about one foot less than the width of the table at its widest point. This ensures that people do not injure themselves when they get up from their seats.
Place the chandelier
Choosing dining room lighting should preferably start with a chandelier. The chandelier should be placed in the middle of the room. If accent candles are used, they must be processed around the chandelier without paying attention from the chandelier. Large chandeliers give character to all rooms. They can be fixed high up without room to injure anyone. The chandelier determines the atmosphere and in today’s different interior styles, chandeliers give elegance to the most relaxed or modern homes.
Chandelier design
The beauty and design of the chandelier must be given greater weight in the quality of the light. Available options for chandeliers include everything from those with exposed light bulbs to those with large alabaster diffusion bowls. Design trends range from simple mica glass models to ornate brass filigree with crystal pendants. Chandeliers are available in different materials such as brass, aluminum, wrought iron, metal combinations, etc. Each of them has a unique finish and must be chosen in accordance with the dining room.
