Green Dining Room Lighting Ideas

The illustrated guide separates pendant light, sconces, candles, layered lighting and daylight. These sources do different jobs: the table needs usable light, while the surrounding room benefits from a softer glow.

Designer tips

Light the meal and the background

Use the pendant for the tabletop and a lamp or wall light farther into the room. Lighting only the center can leave faces against a dark background when the rest of the room is unlit.

Controls that work separately

Put the table light and background light on separate controls where possible. You can then adjust the balance for everyday meals without turning every fitting on at full brightness.

Check the light from a chair

Look toward each fitting while seated. Choose a shade or bulb arrangement that hides the harsh light source from that lower viewpoint.
