How to Light A Dining Room

Good lighting for a dining room is crucial especially as it often ends up being used for other purposes than just eating.   A dining room works well as a place to study or work, and surveys have found that they also regularly end up being used as a playroom.

Therefore how you light the room needs careful consideration.   When you are using it for eating the lighting should be warm and inviting with the table being the focal point of the room.  However, if you are using the during the day whether for work, study or play, then you will want it to be nice and bright.
