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. |
