Sarasota Lighting Store: A Guide To Dining Room Lighting Fixtures

A Guide To Dining Room Lighting Fixtures

Dining room lighting design can seem like a daunting task. After all, it’s often one of the largest rooms in the home and often requires many layers of lighting to ensure you achieve beautiful functionality. However, with the right direction, you’d be surprised how doable (and fun!) coming up with a dining room strategy you’ll love can be.

In this post, we’re going to cover some of the most common dining room light fixtures and how you can use them to achieve optimal light layering and a cohesive look. So whether you’re looking for just a few new fixtures or you’re going for a total overhaul, we trust you’ll find this guide chock full of helpful tips.

Dining Room Chandeliers

When discussing dining room lighting, it only makes sense to start with the chandelier. After all, there’s nothing that encapsulates sophistication and elegance quite like this type of fixture. It’s no wonder that chandeliers have been the staple of dining room lighting for hundreds of years, though we’ve moved past using candles as a lighting source. One of the great things about chandeliers is the sheer amount of designs and styles that are available nowadays. Whether you like the look of a classic multi-tiered crystal chandelier or something more modern with a sleek iron or copper frame, Franklin Lighting has you covered.

Dining Room Pendant Lighting

One of the things we love most about pendant lighting is its versatility. Pendants are smaller fixtures than chandeliers and you can easily install multiple fixtures over your dining room table.

One thing we want to mention is that you don’t need to be afraid to vary your style and sizes if you’re using a series of pendants. However, if you don’t want such an eclectic look, consider installing multiple of the same fixture at different heights for a bit of variety.

Dining Room Recessed Ceiling Lights

Recessed ceiling lights are sleek in profile and a great source of ambient lighting for your dining room. While a chandelier or pendant light can function as a sole source of ambient lighting, recessed lighting adding recessed lighting can help you create layers. You can even install dimmers for even greater control over your lighting setup. You can also use recessed ceiling lights to provide focused and targeted attention on architectural elements or pieces of art. It’s a great way to keep your room from feeling flat.

Dining Room Wall Lighting

Wall lighting in your dining room is all about filling in the gap left by your ambient ceiling lights. Rather than being the star of the show, wall sconces will help create layers of lighting and the right fixtures can function as another piece of art for your wall.

Pay attention to particularly dim areas of your dining room that could use the illumination of a wall sconce. There are a wide variety of styles to choose from, so you’re sure to find something that matches the rest of your lighting strategy.
