lighting

Having a central dining area requires a variety of lighting levels to suit the various activities that go on there.

During the day, windows allow the best possible natural light so it’s good to have adjustable window treatments to take full advantage of this

At night, having direct overhead lighting, as well as from a variety of other sources including lamps and candles, is best for providing atmosphere, highlights and interest. Direct overhead room lighting should be adjustable so it can be turned up for situations requiring bright, clean light and down to create a calm, soft ambience which is so important for the mood of a meal

Pendant lights can also be installed directly over a table, either individually or in groupings,
while bulbs of different wattages and types
can create a range of effects
