How to Layer Dining Room Lighting
Layered lighting is a term we’ve fallen in love with, and for good reason! It’s the unsung hero of interior design. When you work with area, task, and ambient lighting in a room, you bring out all the best features of your home and get the most out of your space.
We’ve talked about how to layer lighting in other many areas of your home. We think this is such an important topic, that we wanted to help you learn how to layer dining room lighting, too!
As the old saying goes, you eat with your eyes first! Layered lighting in the dining room helps add dimension to your table and provides your guests with a dining experience that they would normally only receive in a high-end restaurant.
The dining room table is often a place where tasks are completed once the dishes are cleared. Crafts, homework, taxes, and a dozen other tasks can be completed at the dining room table, which means you need solid task lighting!
Ambient dining room lighting is all about creating atmosphere. Soft, warm light is ideal for meals and gatherings that is comfortable and cozy. These lights tend to be dimmer than area lighting and less area-focused than task lighting.
