A chandelier over a dining table gives any dining area a touch of drama. There are a variety of designs, shapes, sizes, and finishes to choose from, which means chandeliers can suit both traditional and modern spaces. Chandeliers help create a focal point in your dining room by drawing the eye towards your dining table set. Dramatic beaded or crystal chandeliers can be used for maximum effect, while sleek metal chandeliers are ideal for a contemporary look.
For a light fixture that can balance out the shape of a long rectangular table, consider mounting a linear chandelier over your dining table. Round chandeliers are great for pairing with round, square, or shorter rectangular tables. No matter what type of chandelier you get, be sure to have it hang over the center of your table. The following chandeliers for dining areas are bound to get you excited about how to best illuminate your space.
