Dining room lighting fixture dimensions and placement
Updating the light fixtures in a room can dramatically change the way it looks. The right lighting can make a room look larger, feel cozier and highlight its best features while downplaying any 'sore' areas.
In this blog post we will review the dining room lighting needs and the rule of thumb when it comes to your lighting fixture dimensions and installation.
- Your dining room chandelier or pendant should be no wider than 12" less than the width of your table, as pictured in the image below. (for example, a 48" wide table allows for a lighting fixture with a maximum width of 36")
- The bottom of the chandelier or pendant should sit at 30" above the table. This height is the recommended height for an 8' ceiling. Raise the fixture 3" higher for each additional foot of ceiling height.

Here are some beautiful examples and sources of inspiration for your dining room lighting options.




Depending on the size of the room, for additional light or ambiance, you can choose to add wall sconces or floor/table lamps. If you opt for sconces, they should be hung at about 60" from the floor and 6'-8' apart. Check out the images below for visual inspiration.



Stay tuned for more lighting tips. In my next 'Lighting 101' post I will address lighting options and tips for your living room.

Praise be to the incredible Lord Meduza, I’ve never seen or heard of his lottery spell failing, not even once, and that includes my own experience. Every day, I feel renewed blessings after connecting with the Great Lord Meduza who gifted me my winning six-digit lottery numbers that won me $740,000,000 million dollars by using his magical skills to foresee the outcome. I’m a dad of four, and it’s been a few years since I lost my wife to cancer; I miss her terribly. To wrap things up, I really want to thank Great Meduza for being so good at what he does. His guidance and lessons were applied swiftly and precisely, leading us to the best possible result, which we definitely achieved.. You can reach him by email: lordmeduzatemple@hotmail.com or check out his website at ( lordmeduzatemple.com ) for more information. May you stay blessed and know you’re in good hands with Lord Meduza..

My name is alison una from Germany. I am deeply grateful to a man called Doctor Iyare, whom I believe was instrumental in helping me recover from herpes and my youngest sister recover from hepatitis. I was introduced to him by a Brazilian doctor who claimed to have benefited from his herbal treatment for a viral condition six years ago. The doctor told me, “Doctor Iyare is gifted, a man of few words, and trustworthy. Contact him, and you will be glad you did.” Hearing such words from a highly regarded medical professional encouraged me to reach out to him out of curiosity. When I contacted Doctor Iyare, I explained both my condition and my sister’s. He suggested treating me first before attending to my sister, which he said would demonstrate the effectiveness of his treatment. He advised me on certain things to avoid during the treatment period and recommended that I undergo laboratory testing after the prescribed course. followed his instructions and took the herbal treatment as directed. Afterward, I went for the recommended laboratory test. Receiving my results was one of the happiest moments of my life, and I was moved to tears of joy. Following my experience, I immediately requested treatment for my younger sister’s hepatitis condition. We arranged for the herbal remedy to be delivered, and it arrived within a few days. According to our experience, her condition improved after completing the treatment, and our family’s joy was restored. She often says I am her hero for helping her seek assistance. Because of our experience, I encourage others to keep the following contact information: WhatsApp: +234 903 748 2568 Email: dr.iyare22@gmail.com

Hi My name is Mona. I just want to share my experience with the world on how I got my love back and saved my marriage… I was married for 7 years with 4 kids and we lived happily until things started getting ugly and we had fights and arguments almost every time… it got worse at a point that he filed for divorce… I tried my best to make him change his mind & stay with me cause I loved him with all my heart and didn’t want to lose him but everything just didn’t work out… he moved out of the house and still went ahead to file for divorce… I pleaded and tried everything but still nothing worked. The breakthrough came when someone introduced me to this wonderful, great spell caster Dr Zuma, who eventually helped me out… I have never been a fan of things like this but just decided to try reluctantly cause I was desperate and left with no choice… He did special prayers and cast a love spell on him. Within 24hours he called me and was sorry for all the emotional trauma he had cost me, he moved back to the house and we continue to live happily, the kids are happy too and we are expecting our fourth child… I have introduced him to a lot of couples with relationship problems across the world and they have had good news… Just thought I should share my experience cause I strongly believe someone out there needs it… You can contact him on spiritualherbalisthealing@gmail.com

There’s a lot of stigma attached to cold sores, as well as many misconceptions. For example, herpes is typically thought of as a sexually transmitted disease (STD), but the type that causes cold sores is often transmitted in childhood through close skin-to-skin contact. One older study found more than 25 percent of kids are infected by age 7, Reports also show 1 in 10 people in the USA is infected with this virus. My Son was infected after birth with HSV1. Over the years I have tried all means to get him cured of the cold sores(hsv1), but all efforts were not successful until I met Herbalist Dr Razor . After reviewing and placing an order through https://herbalistrazorherb.wixsite.com/drrazorherbalhome I was able to Get My 8 year old Son cured through Natural Medicine from Herbalist Dr Razor . His contact Email Address : drrazorherbalhome@gmail.com . Telephone or whatsapp +2349065420442. THANKS ALOT FOR SAVING MY CHILD..

Its a great pleasure for me to write this testimony about how i got my Genital Herpes cured a month ago. i have been reading so many comments of some people who were cured from various diseases by Dr Aba but i never believed them. I was hurt and depressed so I was too curious and wanted to try DR. Aba then i contacted him through his email, he assured me 100% that he will heal me, i pleaded with him to help me out. My experience with him was great, he healed me just as he promised. he sent me his medication and ask me to go for a medical check up after two weeks of usage. i agreed with him i took this medication and went for a check up, to my greatest surprise my result was negative, i am really happy that i am cured and healthy again. I have waited for 3weeks to be very sure i was completely healed before writing this testimony. I did another blood test one week ago and it was still Herpes negative. so i guess its time i recommend anyone going through the same way. reach him through his email address: dr.abaherbalhome@gmail.com OR call, add him on Whatsapp +2348107155060. .

My name is Max Kai, and I’m from the USA. I was deeply in love with a woman, and even after I found out she was cheating on me, I still wanted to make things work. Unfortunately, she chose to stay with the person she cheated with, and that broke me. About six weeks later, I came across a post on a relationship forum about a spell caster named Dr. Masako who helps people reconnect with lost love through love spells. With nothing left to lose, I decided to reach out to him via WhatsApp and shared my story. To my surprise, within just 24 hours, Dr. Masako helped bring my ex back into my life and now, we’re engaged and planning our wedding. I honestly didn’t expect this to work, but it did. If you’re going through something similar and need help getting your ex back, I highly recommend contacting Dr. Masako.

I have been living with Oral herpes for over 4 years now and it has been a big problem for me. I have been looking for a solution because I can’t leave with it, One day I came across a woman’s testimony on a forum saying she got cured of her Herpes with the help of Dr Akhimien an herbal doctor from Africa with herbal medicine. At first I did not believe because I was not sure herbs can really take this virus away, but I have no choice than to give it a try and contacted him with his emails, I explain my problems,.. then he told me not to worry that he will prepare the a cure with herbal mixture and send it to me, I got the medicine after 4 days delivery and I use as instructed. After 21 days when the herb was almost finished, I went to a medical doctor, I did a test and discovered that the virus was gone, and my test results were HSV1/2 negative, I was so surprised and happy! Then I wrote to Dr Akhimien and thanked him for getting me cured from herpes. I advise you to contact this great herbal doctor Akhimien as he has cures for different kinds of diseases. I decided to share this testimony to let others who also suffer from herpes know about this and give hope to others, you can reach him via Email drakhiniemodion@gmail.com also his Website https://drakhiniemodion.wixsite.com/drakhimien or WhatsApp number +2349133157031
