The best lamps for the dining room - they will make the interior!
Lamps can brighten the darkness, provide light for work, and create a mood. Help highlight selected areas in the interior and additions. They make rooms appear, higher, larger, warmer. Help you work or rest. Stimulate or calm. Designate zones, build mood.
However, lamps can also play another important role. A well-chosen lamp can "make an interior". What it means? It's a lamp that creates a wow effect. It is the main design element that catches the eye and gives character to the entire room. It's first fiddle and icing on the cake in one.
Looking for such a lamp for your dining room? You've come to the right place! Below you will find some suggestions for lamps that will "make your dining room" and also lamps that are perfect as lamps over the table.
Dining room lamp over the table - how to choose?
Wondering which dining room lamp over the table will work best over the kitchen or dining room table? Remember that both the power of the light sources and the shape of the fixture should be selected according to the size and shape of the table, and the table top must be well and evenly illuminated.
- If your table is round, choose dining room lamp over the table with a sphere-shaped shade, the shape of which will obviously relate to the shape of the tabletop. This will create a beneficial sense of harmony for the interior. It can be a lamp with a single shade or a group of lamps, for example, on a ceiling plate - in this role the lamps offered will be perfect as part of the Alur collection.
- You eat at a long, family table? Hang an elongated dining room lamp over the table with several shades or two or three single lamps equally spaced over it (the lamps are placed symmetrically with respect to the center of the table).
If you want good lighting of the countertop, and at the same time you want to create an intimate atmosphere during meals, choose lamps with such a shape of the lampshade, so that the light stream is directed downward. These will be lamps with inverted bowl-shaped shades, shades that expand downward, in the shape of a hemisphere, cone or tube.
Wondering, at what height above the table top to hang the lamp? It is said that the height of 50 cm is optimal for a table with a width of 120 cm. With a wider countertop, increase the height to 70-80 cm. For more tips, see our articlee "At what height to hang the lamp" here.
Remember that sometimes you won't need the full power of your lamp - with an evening cup of tea or a romantic dinner, for example. Therefore, an excellent idea that will promote a slightly more intimate atmosphere will be to install a lamp with dimmer. After all, you need a different intensity of light to drink tea and another for work.
If your dining room is connected to the living room and flows seamlessly into the lounge area, also make sure that both lamps - both the dining room lamp over the table and the living room lamp - have elements in common - style, shade shape, type of finish, color.
When choosing light bulbs for the lamp you hang over the table where you eat your meals, keep in mind the warm color of the light. It's true that you'll see the color of your dishes most accurately in cold light, but we believe that the atmosphere in which we eat - and that warms in direct proportion to the decreasing Kelvin number - is more important than the shade of the food being served. Therefore, we recommend choosing bulbs with a color of approximately 3000K.
What shape of dining room lamp to choose?
Dining room lamps play a key role in creating an atmosphere during meals, and their shape has a significant impact on the functionality and aesthetics of the space. One popular choice is lamps with inverted bowl-shaped shades. This type of lamp is characterized by a narrower top, which expands downward, allowing the light to be effectively directed downward, directly onto the table. As a result, they provide adequate lighting, conducive to both everyday meals and special occasions.
An example of such a lamp są lamps from the Nautilius collection, whiche are additionally equipped with milky frosted glass, thanks to which the light does not glare the users sitting at the table in the eyes, and in addition is pleasantly dispersed. These lamps not only have a practical function, but also form an important decorative element that can emphasize the character of the entire dining room.
What color dining room lamp to choose?
Dining room lamp black?
Is a black dining room lamp a good idea? It all depends on the style in which its interior is arranged. If your dining room and home are decorated in a minimalist, industrial or loft style, then a black lamp over the dining room table is what will best suit the space. A black dining room lamp will not be too heavy if you combine it with minimalist, simple shapes (for example, the shape of narrow tubes), an openwork design, or simply opt for lamps with milky or transparent glass shades finished only with matte black elements.
Modern dining room lamps, despite the fact that they are often made of steel or metal, give the impression of lightness mainly due to the simplicity of forms. We are specifically talking about modern linear dining room lamps. Slat lamps over the table (such like apolin black dining room lamp or minimalist black Linea DIM table top lamp) work well over long, rectangular or elongated tablesoval, and evenly distribute light over the entire surface of the countertop.
In modern glamour or penthouse style dining rooms, black dining room lamps combining black frames with smoky shades look great.
