Dining Room Lighting

Make the table the centrepiece with beautiful dining room lighting. A statement pendant or chandelier hung at the right height sets the mood for every meal and gathering — often the single most impactful light in the home. Shop modern and classic designs in a huge range of styles and finishes, with dimmable options for the perfect ambience.

Types of Dining Lighting

A single feature pendant works beautifully over a round or square table, while a multi-light chandelier adds drama in a formal dining room. For long rectangular tables, a linear pendant or a row of individual pendant lights spreads even light along the whole surface. Choose finishes to match your interior — explore brass and glass pendant lights for the look you're after.

Choosing Dining Lighting

Hang the base of a dining pendant or chandelier around 750–850mm above the tabletop so it lights the surface without blocking sightlines. Size the fitting to roughly one-half to two-thirds the width of the table. Warm 3000K light suits dining; add a dimmer to shift from bright family dinners to relaxed entertaining. Most take E27, B22 or E14 globes. Tie an open-plan space together with the wider pendants collection and general indoor lighting.
