Options for Decorative Lighting

Chandeliers for Dining

Chandeliers are outstanding decorative elements which boost your entire dining room. You should hang chandelier at least 30 inches above the surface of the table to provide sufficient illumination for dining. If you don’t keep the desired distance, it will interrupt the way of your guests to dining room. Glass chandeliers offer sparkling effect in your dining room. Other materials include brass, aluminum, wrought iron, crystal chandelier etc. Avoid the use of chandeliers in small dining rooms; otherwise the room will look overwhelming.
