Dining Room Chandeliers

Lighting is one of the most important features in any room. Not only does it serve the practical purpose of brightening a space but it also creates a mood and sets the perfect tone.

Unlike many spaces, where furniture and accessories abound, the dining room holds fewer opportunities for really making a statement.

That's why the right chandelier is absolutely crucial! The appearance is always important, of course, but the right dimensions matter as well. Hanging a chandelier 30-34 inches above the dining table is a good rule of thumb. For ceilings taller than eight feet, add three inches per foot of ceiling height to this estimation for the perfect look.

This dining room is so chic! And so is its fixture. We tend to think that larger dining fixtures are the way to go, but this one proves that something smaller can be just right.

The combination of traditional and modern elements in this dining room make it so much fun! The large size of this fixture works beautifully here. Just make sure, when choosing a dining room fixture, that the diameter is one foot narrower than the table's width.

This fun and funky fixture adds so much personality to the dining room. And we love the pops of color in the otherwise neutral space.

With a view like this, everyone will be fighting for those prime seats! Round dining tables are some of our favorites -- and this fixture complements the shape of the table perfectly and adds such softness to the room while still standing out.

The paint colors in this room are so soft and soothing. The fixture blends nicely but also adds tons of pizazz.

Capiz shell is the perfect way to add sophistication over a dining table. It lends a bit of elegance to a more casual space. With so many fabulous lighting choices on Interior Deluxe, it's hard to pick favorites. But this Dandelion Lamp really caught our eye! Fun, funky and very modern, it would be amazing over a dining table.

Of course, for a classic look with a touch of an update, nothing beats a glass chandelier.

This drop cluster would be such a cool contrast over an antique dining table, infusing the space with youthful energy.

This is the kind of chandelier perfect for dining because it's even more spectacular when you look up from below. With so many fabulous choices, we don't know how we'd ever pick just one!
