DINING ROOM

When it comes to lighting your dining area, the focus should be on the food and the people around the table. Low-level lighting works well for this, and if you have an open-plan space, a pendant light will also create a pleasing zoning effect. Be sure to choose a warm lightbulb with a dimmer, if you can, to create an inviting atmosphere. Don’t forget to add some statement candles too for the ultimate dining experience!
