What is the best lighting for dining room?
The best lighting for the dining room is based on personal choice and the style of the room. The types of lights typically used in a dining room are general lighting and accent lighting. The dining room light should be at least 12 inches smaller than the table in all directions. On 1stDibs, find a variety of vintage and contemporary lights.
