Designer Dining Room Ceiling Lights

For example, task pendants work beautifully over a sideboard or serving area. In open-plan layouts, overhead lighting can guide the eye and subtly separate the dining area from the kitchen and living room. This creates a clear sense of structure within a shared space.

Chandeliers 

From contemporary and traditional brass chandeliers to rectangular chandelier styles for dining tables and high-quality crystal lighting fixtures, there’s a style to suit every dining space. With their multiple light sources, chandeliers ensure a bright, stylish and inviting setting. 

Semi-Flush & Flush Ceiling Lights

Sitting flush against the ceiling, this dining room lighting choice offers a subtle design detail by day and a warm, ambient glow by night. Semi-flush ceiling fixtures add a touch more drama, especially when reflecting light upward, for a soft, diffused effect.

Pendant Lights

Whether you need ambient or task lighting, there’s a pendant dining room light for the job. We offer a diverse range of styles, including modern, eclectic and traditional lantern-style pendant lamps.

FAQs 

Explore our commonly asked questions for practical insights on selecting and positioning designer overhead lighting in your dining space. 

What type of ceiling light is best for a dining area?

The best type of dining room lights for your ceiling depends on the room's size and height, and your personal style.   

• Low-ceiling dining room lighting: Choose semi-flush and flush-mounted lighting to add designer details without overwhelming the space. Or consider delicate pendants crafted from clear or translucent materials that don’t disrupt the sightline.  
• High-ceiling dining room lighting: Use the extra height to create a dramatic focal point. Hang staggered pendants or a dramatic chandelier over the dining table for a truly glamorous overhead focal point.    

At what height should a chandelier or pendant light hang above a dining table?

A good guideline is to hang your ceiling light fixture about 30 to 36 inches (76 to 91 cm) above the table. This height range provides sufficient light for the surface without being too harsh or blocking the view across the table.

Hanging lights slightly lower can create an intimate atmosphere that’s ideal for cosy dinner parties. Just ensure they don’t obstruct sightlines. 

What is the ideal colour temperature for dining room lights?  

For an inviting atmosphere, use warm white lighting with a colour temperature between 1800K and 2700K. Dimmable bulbs allow you to adjust the brightness to suit different activities, like eating, game nights and serving.
