Picking the right lighting for your dining table helps to determine the atmosphere and theme of your eating experience.Size, colour, material and the height you hang the pendant above your dining table are all elements that need to be worked out for the best result.
How high above the table surface should you hang your pendant?….
“ When hanging pendants above your dining table I would aim for 700-750mm above the table top. This would allow enough space for people sitting at the table to comfortably have a conversation without the light obstructing their vision as well as the right proportion for the space. If placing pendants above a kitchen bench top when its use is more for task lighting, 550-700mm would be the suggested height.” (homestolove)

One vs two pendants – what works best?
Both! It will depend on your space and the size of your “dining table. If you have a larger table and want to create balance and ground the space within your dining area I would suggest 2 pendants of the same size, style and to be placed evenly. If your dining table is on the smaller side one larger pendant or a smaller cluster or 3 pendants will create interest and a focal point within the room.” (Homestolove)
