When it comes to lighting for your dining room, there are many different decor styles from which you could choose. While many people like a traditional look, modern dining room light fixtures are the most popular choice. These sleek fixtures can instantly update any dining room while delivering just the right amount of light that you need. There are so many options when it comes to modern dining room pendant lighting and ceiling light fixtures.
Shopping for modern dining room lighting can feel overwhelming, but you can quickly narrow down your options by considering several factors. First, you need to determine the right size fixture for your space. A general rule of thumb is to add the length and width of a room in feet and convert that number to inches, giving you the diameter of the fixture that will look proportional. You can further narrow down options by considering which finishes coordinate with your home as well as lighting output.
Popular types of dining room light fixtures include pendants, which hang from the ceiling, and flush or semi-flush mount fixtures that hug the ceiling a little tighter, making them a good choice for dining rooms with lower ceilings. Dining room fixtures come in a variety of shapes including round, square and rectangular. The latter is a great choice for dining rooms as it provides even lighting across the length of a dining table.
Other important considerations when buying modern dining room light fixtures include the finishes as well as special features. Modern dining room ceiling lights come in a range of metallic finishes, including brass, bronze, gold and silver, as well as a wide variety of accent materials, such as ceramic and glass. One sought-after feature is dimmability, allowing you to lower or raise the lighting output of the fixture. Check the specifications to confirm a fixture can support dimmability.
If your dining table features metal accents, you could choose a fixture with similar toned hardware. However it is not entirely necessary to directly match the fixture to furniture as long as they are complementary.
You should aim for approximately three feet of clearance from the bottom of your modern dining room lighting and the surface of your table. You don’t want to block guests’ views!
Lighting comes in a range of color temperatures from warm to cool. Warm lighting is the best choice for a dining room when you are trying to create an inviting ambiance.
