While a chandelier is often the go-to fixture for dining rooms, there are a variety of other lighting options to consider. These include pendants, ceiling light fixtures and wall sconces. Here are some dining room lighting options to choose from.
Chandeliers
Chandeliers are dining room lighting options that can be a beautiful way to light up a space. They come in a variety of styles, shapes, and finishes, so there’s something for everyone. They aren’t just for formal settings anymore; you can find chandeliers that are modern and sleek or rustic and wrought iron. You can also choose a chandelier that reflects your personal style and fits the overall design of your dining room.
Size is important because it will determine how big the fixture will be, as well as whether it will hang high enough. You want a chandelier that’s not too large so it doesn’t look overwhelming or like it will take up a lot of room in your dining room. Brightness is important because it will determine how much light you’ll be able to see when you’re eating. You can use multiple lights on a chandelier so that you can illuminate your entire dining table.

Pendants
Pendants are an easy way to add an element of style to a dining room. They’re also a versatile option that can adapt to almost any space. A pendant light is a great choice for a modern dining room because it can easily adapt to any design style and will give off a soft, inviting glow.
In addition to its shape, your light fixture’s color and texture can have a huge impact on the overall look of your dining room. For example, if you’re aiming for a rustic-meets-modern design, a rattan or woven pendant is an excellent pick.
When choosing a pendant, make sure it’s the right height to fit over your table or island. To find the ideal height, measure the length of your table minus 12 inches, then divide that measurement by two to determine the appropriate hanging distance for the fixture.

Antler Lights
Antler lights are an excellent way to add a rustic touch to your dining room. These lighting options are often made from mule deer, whitetail deer or moose antlers. They are typically brown in color and long and straight in shape.
The size of your antler lights can vary, depending on your ceiling height and the space you’re lighting. For a small, narrow room, you don’t want to buy a large antler chandelier that would overwhelm the space.
