Set the Mood

To illuminate the dining room with both ambiance and sufficient brightness requires an individualised and modern lighting concept. The cornerstone - the pendant lamp above the dining table - should illuminate the table without casting unnecessary light elsewhere.

What to look for

The material and finish of the pendant lights should complement other elements in the room, such as the dining table, chairs, and decor. Common materials include metal, glass, wood, and fabric. Choose a finish that co-ordinates with existing hardware and fixtures for a cohesive look.

The interior designer's tip

When choosing pendant lighting for your dining area, it's essential to balance functionality with aesthetics to achieve a visually pleasing environment. The size of the pendant lights should be in harmony with the dimensions of the dining table. Typically, the diameter of each pendant should be approximately one-third of the width of the table.

Alternatively, for longer tables, you can consider installing multiple smaller pendants or arranging them in a linear fashion. Select pendant lights that complement the overall style and decor of your dining room, leaning either towards modern, traditional, industrial, or eclectic aesthetics. Opt for sleek and minimalist designs to achieve a contemporary look or choose ornate fixtures for a more traditional ambiance.

Remember

As a guideline, larger pendant lamps should hang approximately 60-75 cm above the table, measured from the bottom of the lampshade. For smaller pendant lamps, a typical height is between 55 65 cm above the table, also measured from the bottom of the lampshade. When installing multiple pendant lamps above the table, aim to space them approximately 80 cm apart for optimal visual balance.

To set the desired ambiance and adapt lighting levels for various occasions, consider pendant lights equipped with dimming capability. This feature allows you to adjust the brightness and mood of the dining area, whether you're hosting a casual family dinner or a formal gathering.
