Dining Room lighting: stores to compare

Dining rooms are built around one decision: the fixture over the table. Chandeliers and linear pendants both work when scaled to the table and hung at the right height. The stores listed here carry dining-appropriate fixtures; sconces and buffet lamps complete the layer.

Frequently asked questions

How high should a dining fixture hang?
About 30 to 36 inches from tabletop to the fixture's bottom for 8-foot ceilings, adding roughly 3 inches per additional foot of ceiling height.
Chandelier or linear pendant for a long table?
Linear pendants and multi-light chandeliers both suit rectangular tables; keep the fixture around half to two-thirds of the table's length and at least 6 inches narrower on each side.
