Beautiful Dining Room Pendant Lights You Will Want in Your Home

Installing new or updated lighting in your dining room is one of the most impactful ways to improve your home’s décor. A chandelier is not only a great lighting option, but it also makes a powerful visual statement. When it comes to dining room lighting fixture ideas, dining room chandeliers are available in so many types and styles to choose from that you can really change the look of your dining room.

Dining Room Chandeliers

The first thing to think about when you are looking for a dining room chandelier is the emotion you want in the space, the scene you want to create, what chandelier will complement your style, and what goes with your current décor. In addition, you will want to ensure you have enough light throughout the room: the table, on the walls, and any artwork without creating shadows or glare. These days, dining rooms are multifunctional spaces used for more than just eating. Often, homework, playing games, paying bills, and more happens in this space. This means that ceiling lights for the dining room have to fulfill many purposes.

A grouping of pendant lights makes a strong statement while giving the space plenty of functional light. The arrangement is perfect for an informal space. One pendant light is nice, but three Marino Large Pendants by Sea Gull Lighting become the perfect focal point in this space.

Linear Suspension Light

From modern and minimal to eclectic and fun, linear suspension lights are a stunning alternative to pendants or traditional chandeliers. Linear suspension chandeliers are long and lean, making them perfect for adding stylish lighting over a rectangular dining room table. They are available in many styles to suit different tastes. You can also find them in many lengths and sizes to fit into many different spaces. If you choose a suspension chandelier, be sure to leave generous space between each side of the fixture and the edges of your table.

Making Recessed Lighting Work

Depending on the size of your dining room, a chandelier or pendant may not give you adequate lighting. A chandelier will make a statement but may not provide all the light you need in the space.

If you need both general and accent lighting in your dining room, recessed lighting is a good option. This type of lighting lets you feature architectural features or works of art in the space. It gives the room visual interest and dimension so that it doesn’t feel flat.
