Dining rooms thrive on a combination of different light sources. You can implement a central fixture, such as a chandelier or pendant light, for general lighting as well as a focal point above your dining table.

From there, you can add wall or table lamps for extra depth. Many of our dining room lights feature dimmable fittings so you can easily adjust the ambience to suit the occasion.

For a cohesive look, try to match the finish of your lighting (such as brass, black, or chrome) with other accents in the room, like curtain rods, handles, or chair legs. Attention to detail can help tie your space together with ease.

Ideally, the bottom of a pendant or chandelier should sit around 30-36 inches above your dining table. At this height, your lights will feel connected to the space without obstructing sightlines or conversations.

If you're using multiple pendants over a long table, try to space them evenly and follow the same height rule to create visual harmony as well as consistency.

The type of bulb you choose plays a crucial role in setting the mood:

• Warm white (2700K) or cool white (5000K) bulbs are ideal for dining areas. They provide a soft, welcoming glow perfect for creating a cosy atmosphere
• Choose dimmable LED bulbs for flexible, energy-efficient lighting.
• For chandeliers or open pendant lights, consider filament-style LED bulbs for a decorative touch without sacrificing performance.
• Always check the maximum wattage recommended for your fixture for safety and performance.

Some of our fittings also support smart bulbs, allowing you to adjust colour temperature and brightness from your phone or via a remote.

For the ideal number of lights, it's best to consider the size of your dining room and table and any other furniture:

• For smaller, square tables, one central chandelier or pendant may be enough.
• For larger rectangular tables, consider pendant clusters or a linear chandelier for even light distribution.
• Supplement with wall sconces or sideboard lamps to eliminate dark corners, which can feel unbalanced or uninviting

As a rough guide, aim for a total light output of 200-400 lumens per square metre (or 20-40 lumens per square foot) for your dining area. However, it will also depend on how bright you want the space to feel. Some people prefer to have greater lighting to create a vibrant atmosphere that highlights every detail, while others opt for a softer glow for a cosy, intimate dining experience.

Lighting should complement, not compete with, your furniture. Here's how to get the balance right:

• If your dining table is a bold or statement piece, choose a simpler lighting fixture that highlights it without overwhelming the space.
• You can also use a more minimal table that is elevated with a sculptural glass chandelier.
• Lighting finish and scale should blend with any chairs, sideboards, artwork, and flooring for balance.
• Consider reflective surfaces like glass or polished wood, which can amplify light and add brightness to the room.

We have a wide range of furniture, including dining chairs and dining tables, to complement your lighting design as well as add style.

At Amos Lighting + Home, we believe that lighting is at the heart of every memorable dining experience. Our curated selection brings you the perfect balance of beauty and practicality, so you can dine, entertain, and unwind in style.
