Dining room lighting
Cozy mood lighting around the dining tableIlluminating the dining room in an atmospheric yet sufficiently bright way requires an individual and modern lighting concept. The centerpiece - the pendant light above the dining table - is most flexible when it is height-adjustable and dimmable. Wall lights and floor lamps are a great option for introducing cosy, indirect lighting to the space. Lighting ideas such as the portable battery-powered lamp as a place setting on the table or LED strips for sideboards and display cabinets add even more ambience.

The pendant light as a dining room lamp
A dining room without a pendant light? That is difficult to imagine. After all, hardly any other place in the living room benefits from a cozy beam of light as much as the dining area. When it comes to materials, all design facets come into play, from wood to glass and textiles. In terms of style, vintage chic and Scandi look are just as popular as the more rustic industrial flair.

Ceiling lights for the dining room
Anyone opting for a ceiling light in the dining room is well advised to choose a dimmable model. This means that the room can be brightly lit if required, but also made homely and cozy in no time at all. The shape in harmony with the table is less important for the ceiling light, as the high suspension creates a general illumination of the room rather than a targeted beam of light.

Floor lamps for dining room and dining table
As a creative alternative to a pendant light, the shade of an arc lamp is ideal above the dining table - perfect if there is no ceiling above the dining table at home. In the other areas of the dining room, e.g. next to the sideboard and shelf, floor lamps provide atmospheric additional light and, depending on the model, create exciting eye-catchers. Tip: If you value well-known design pieces, you can set striking accents in the dining room with floor lamps.

Wall lamps as creative lighting ideas in the dining room
Pleasant area lighting is added to the dining room with wall lights. They either tower over the dining table as arc lights or scissor lamps, competing with pendant lights, or they remain in the background as discreet background lighting. A dimming function is obligatory - so it's cozy when friends and families get together for dinner.

The chandelier as the star of the dining room
A special table requires special lighting. If the diverse designs of the pendant lights aren't pompous enough for you, you can take your time together in the light of a chandelier. The facets range from gold-colored to black chandeliers. Luxurious models with crystals can also be combined well with the large dining table, as can chandeliers with textiles for cozy country house rooms. Tip: Chandeliers work best as lighting ideas for large rooms.

Spotlights for targeted light in the dining room
Placed on the ceiling and wall, spotlights and spotlights can add value and round off the lighting concept for the dining room modern. Flexibly adjustable shades can not only illuminate paintings, prints and decorations on sideboards and the like, but can also be simply aligned with the walls. In this way, the entire room is bathed in comfortable light - for living rooms, it is best to use warm white light sources of less than 3,300 Kelvin.
Good to know: Lighting tips around the dining table

The pendant light above the dining table should be hung in such a way that it does not obstruct the view of the person sitting opposite. Flexibly adjustable models with practical cable pull mechanisms can be adjusted in height as required. The higher they hang, the larger and more diffuse the cone of light becomes.
)
If the dining table is to be the centerpiece of the dining room, it is worth taking a look at the shape of the table before buying lamps: for small, round tables, single-flame or smaller, round lights are sufficient. For longer panels, multi-flame or wide luminaires with permanently installed LEDs are the first choice.
)
We bring a special eye-catcher into the dining room with multifunctional lights - e.g. with a pendant light above the dining table, on which herbs and other green plants can be placed decoratively. Luminous wall shelves near the table are also a practical option - spices and other items are well stored there.
