LIGHTING FOR THE DINING TABLE

The table is the centre of domestic life, often linked to the kitchen, where people share time together, eat together and talk. It is therefore very important that it is well lit and highlighted with the most appropriate lighting to make dining and company enjoyable.

The lamp placed in the centre of the table not only creates a more convivial and welcoming space, but is also useful for getting a clear view of the dish and the people in front of us.

What colour temperature should I choose for table lamps?

The colour temperature of the light is a crucial aspect to consider. Lights with a warm colour temperature (around 2700-3000 Kelvin) create a warm, intimate atmosphere, making food look more appetising and diners look more relaxed. On the other hand, lamps with a cool colour temperature (around 4000 Kelvin) offer a brighter, more concentrated light, perfect for informal dinners or light lunches, but especially ideal for large rooms or public places.

Light for every room: types of lighting products

Chandeliers

Chandeliers are one of the most classic choices for dining table lighting. Available in a wide range of styles, shapes and sizes, chandeliers can become the visual focal point of the dining room. Suspended above the table, they diffuse an even light and create a warm atmosphere.

Suspended lamps

Pendant lamps are a modern and elegant lighting choice. Placed in groups or individually above the table, they add a touch of style and personality to the dining room, also becoming an opportunity to make the lighting a designer piece, beautiful to behold, even with the lights off. A suitable pendant lamp should be proportionate to the table beneath it, so that you can enjoy direct light during meals and even in the surrounding rooms.

Ceiling lamps

Ceiling lamps are lamps mounted directly on the ceiling. If the ceiling in the dining room is low, ceiling lights can be a discreet and functional solution. They are ideal for diffusing light evenly.

Floor lamps

The floor lamps are perfect for placing with the light in the centre of the table, for an enveloping effect and versatile functionality, transforming meals into intimate and welcoming moments.
