How to light up the dining table?
Spotlights, wall lamps, suspension lamps decorate the dining room: inspirations and practical ideas from Novalux for a functional and innovative lighting project.
The dining table responds to different needs: other than being a place to have meals, during the day it can be transformed into a work or study station, in the evening after dinner into a meeting place. And this is where the lights come into play: the lighting of the dining table is a very important aspect for the design of the house.
Lights above the table
The area that requires more attention is that of the table: here it is necessary to calibrate the direct light that must allow us to see what is on the plate, without being intrusive. Suspension lamps are perfect to ensure an excellent level of brightness and be decorative and add style at the same time.
Like TUBO' or EDY R: Novalux luminaires that become décor as well as lighting elements.
It is important to place the height of the light point between 70 and 90 cm from the table, so as not to dazzle and not to create annoying shadows. In the case of a rectangular table, you can opt for two or three suspension lamps, while with a round or square table, the best solution is a single central light point, which creates a good harmony.

More light points in the dining room
When the dining room is also used as an office, or for leisure activities, it is useful to have more light sources. Wall lamps, such as VELA, are perfect for creating a comfortable atmosphere that guarantees, at the same time, an excellent lighting performance. Another lighting alternative are the GHOST EVO light channels: light details hidden in the architecture to offer a diffused and comfortable glow, where you can also insert adjustable spotlights, where necessary. It is important to subdivide their position correctly in order not to risk finding shaded or poorly lit areas. These solutions create a different environment and atmosphere, perfect if you have an extendable table.
A solution that is often not considered for lighting the dining room is to use a floor lamp: this should not be bulky to ensure that you can move freely around the table.
The color of light
When choosing light bulbs, don't forget the light comfort. Light is not all the same, there are warm tones and cold tones: for the dining table it is better to opt for a lighting body with warm or neutral tones.
