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.
A buffet or sideboard can be flanked with wall sconces on either
side. Choose fixtures that complement the style of your chandelier.
Displayed objects can be accented with recessed downlights installed
in the ceiling. A family portrait can be dramatically lighted
with recessed adjustable accent fixtures.
A china cabinet, breakfront, hutch, or wall niche can become
a showplace for your prized collectibles by installing strips
of low voltage mini-lights under the shelves. |
