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. |
