A chandelier is the focal point of the dining room.
Suspended over the dining table, it serves as a
decorative style element that enhances the beauty of
your fine furnishings. When the light is dimmed a soft
glowing atmosphere similar to candlelight is created. If
equipped with a downlight the chandelier provides task
lighting for the table and accent lighting for the
centerpiece.
Recessed or track lighting provides general lighting
while enabling you to highlight prized possessions
throughout a room. A ring of four recessed downlights
around the dining table supplements the light from the
chandelier, while providing accent light for your
tableware. The white light of low-voltage fixtures with
tungsten-halogen bulbs will make your silverware and
crystal sparkle.
To determine the size chandelier you need,
simply measure the
width of your table and subtract 12". now this is
your target
size however you can go alittle larger or smaller depending
on the
size of the room.Also the bottom of the chandelier should
be 30"-36"
off the top of the table...make sure you factor in at least
a few
links of chain.Dont forget about a medallion on the cieling
for a
dressed up look.
