Choosing decorative lights is the final crucial step for a perfect room. Especially, where lighting is needed to create a warm atmosphere, stimulate the senses, and make food look more appealing like in the dining room, choosing decorative lights becomes particularly important. But don't worry, just follow these 3 factors below, and your home's dining area will have a beautiful and sensible lighting system.
1. Light Color
In interior design, each light color has its own meaning and impact on space. Choosing the right light color is an effective way to honor the architecture of your home.
For the dining room, opt for yellow or warm white lights to stimulate the senses and make dishes look more appealing. That's why restaurants often use yellow lights instead of bright white ones.
Yellow lights stimulate appetite and create a cozy atmosphere
In cases where the dining room is integrated with the kitchen, arrange white lights in areas other than the dining table such as cooking area, sink, storage cabinets, kitchen island, etc., to ensure sufficient light for food preparation activities. For the dining area, hang decorative yellow lights. Also, make sure that the light bulbs in other areas do not shine directly on the dining table as it may cause glare for diners or create shadows on their faces.
2. Brightness Level
Brightness level in living environments is a crucial factor in the Ergonomics Law (a scientific discipline studying human capabilities and limitations to help humans leverage strengths - protect weaknesses. In this case, it can be simply understood as protecting the eyes and positively impacting human psychology). Therefore, besides aesthetic and sensory factors, the lighting system in the dining room must achieve appropriate brightness to provide a comfortable, cozy feeling for everyone sitting at the table.
The right intensity of light creates a comfortable feeling for everyone
The recommended brightness for kitchens with dining tables is 600 lux. At this lighting level, your dishes will become more appealing thanks to the support of light and the cheerful psychology of the diners.
3. Design Style
After overcoming the above two technical complexities, now you can comfortably choose based on your intuition.
Currently, there are countless types of lights available on the market for you to choose from. Remember the following points:
- Light size: The size of the light must be suitable for the room or dining table size. A light that is too small will get lost in the space, failing to create a focal point. Conversely, a light that is too large will create a sense of compression and stuffiness in the space.
- Design style and color of the light: Whatever style your home architecture follows, choose interior furnishings that match that style for aesthetic harmony. The same goes for choosing lights, they should be in harmony with the style and color of the surrounding space.
