Dining room lighting - these options are available

Ideas for cozy dining room lighting

Indirect lighting can also be considered as basic lighting in the dining room to provide soft illumination of the entire room. Here you can choose wall lights, for example, which usually avoid cast shadows due to their alignment. You can also use accent lighting to highlight decorative elements or wine racks, such as floor lamps or LED strips. This way, you can create a cozy atmosphere and then focus entirely on lighting the most important area, the dining table.

Dining table pendant luminaires for atmospheric lighting

Pendant luminaires are very popular for putting the dining table and the action in the spotlight. They create an accentuated bath of light for food, drinks and table decorations while you and your guests can relax in subdued diffused light.

Dimmable dining table lamps in particular create a wonderfully cozy atmosphere and allow you to vary the brightness as required. The ring-shaped dining table pendant light from the s.luce Ring series is not only an eye-catcher due to its shape, but also creates a cozy atmosphere thanks to the Dimming option for bright light for board games or dim light for a romantic dinner in your dining room.

The design of the dining room lamps ranges from modern and minimalist like the Socket LED dining room lighting to the retro look of s.luce to unusual globe lamps from Nova Luce or dining table lamps from Licht Trend.

There are no limits to creativity here and you are guaranteed to find the right dining room lighting for your style of living. Whether a large lamp in the middle of the table or several small lights, the dining table pendant lights will all make your dining room shine.

How to plan your dining room lighting successfully

When installing pendant dining table lamps, the focus is not only on the appearance, but also on a few technical details. Firstly, the light should not be positioned too low, but also not too high, as otherwise it will block the view of the person opposite or cause glare.

To prevent this, you can aim for a height of around 60 to 70 cm above the tabletop, although height-adjustable pendant lights are of course also an option here.

At skapetze®, the Crutch cylinder lamp from s.luce, among others, fulfills this characteristic. The light beam can be individually adjusted, for example to shine more directly on a particular spot when doing homework or reading. Depending on the shape of the table, it is also important to consider the alignment of several dining table lamps.

If your table is round, a circular arrangement is recommended; for an elongated table, a row makes more sense. This is the only way to distribute the light from the dining room lighting evenly. In terms of light color, warm white light in particular creates a cozy, feel-good atmosphere, although care should be taken to ensure that the dining table lamp is bright enough for reading the newspaper and not glaring for dinner. A dimmer is of course an advantage here.
