1. A new look
Did we expect this? Not at all, but do we want to copy it immediately? Absolutely.
2. A simplistic look
If you’re obsessed with all things mid-century modern, this is the light for you. This light fixture is retro, but doesn’t look too dated.
3. Paper style
Want something that looks expensive but won’t break the bank? Try a paper pendant.
4. Think vintage
In this octagonal dining room, a vintage Sputnik pendant hanging from the skylight adds sparkle to the room. It’s a less complicated alternative to the traditional crystal chandelier.
5. Try an unexpected lampshade
If you want to keep your dining room neutral, add character with a bold lampshade. Choose one with a subtle pattern and it’ll look even brighter.
6. Go geometric
This dining room is already giving off art deco vibes thanks to the mirror and lamps, but the chandelier gives it an extra dimension. For a bit of glamour without being too old-fashioned, try a geometric light fitting.
7. Light up with lanterns
These two English street lanterns were originally pole-mounted. They add a more relaxed atmosphere to a dining room.
8. Go retro or go home
Electric colours bring energy to a 1960s-inspired beach house. The wooden chandelier with small linen shades reinforces the impression of freshness and casualness.
9. Dress up a formal room
A simple pendant light takes the formality out of this dining room. If your furniture seems a little more rigid, take a playful approach to lighting to balance it out.
10. Create a coastal vibe
This beach house dining room gains coastal charm from the seashell chandeliers. The sound they make in the breeze will always have you dreaming of the sea.
11. Industrial, but chic
Don’t want your farmhouse to look too “shabby chic”? Industrial lighting comes to your rescue.
12. Texture for the days
For a beachy boldness, light a dining table with rattan pendant lamps. If you don’t live on the coast, these lamps will help give your space a relaxed vibe.
13. Go bold with bubbles
A bubble chandelier adds a lot of whimsy to that little dining area. If you don’t have a ton of space, try a small chandelier.
14. Get the shell shock
An abalone chandelier in the dining room of this Hollywood Hills farmhouse is a bright nod to the elegantly weathered table.
15. Clean lines are always a winner
If your room is busy thanks to patterns, colours or an impressive wall gallery, opt for a simple chandelier. Choose something neutral with clean lines so the room doesn’t look too chaotic.
