Update Your Dining Room Lighting for the Holidays
Choose Ambiance with Dimmers and Warm Bulbs
The secret to stunning holiday lighting is control. Every one of your indoor lighting sources in the dining room—from the chandelier to the wall sconces—should be on a dimmer switch. This allows you to use bright light for setting the table and then instantly lower the level to a soft, intimate glow once guests are seated. Furthermore, swap out any harsh, blue-white bulbs (above 3000K) for warm, golden ones (around 2700K) to flatter your guests' complexions and make the food look its most appealing.
Layer Light with Accent Fixtures
A single overhead chandelier is not enough to banish shadows or create depth. To achieve truly luxurious dining room lighting, you must layer. Supplement your main dining room lighting fixtures with a pair of elegant buffet lamps placed on a nearby sideboard or hutch.
Make a Statement with Your Fixture Focal Point
Your overhead fixture is the centerpiece of the room, lit or unlit. Consider updating to a current trend that complements your holiday style—perhaps a classic crystal chandelier for opulence, a linear metal pendant for a modern look, or a cluster of globe lights for transitional flair.
