Dining Room Style Tips

Swap Bulbs, Switch Styles
One simple way to switch up the style of a light fixture is to switch out the light bulbs. Round, globe bulbs are more modern and give a mid-century vibe. Candelabra lamps offer a more traditional design and are a great way to enhance the updated traditional style of a space. Featured: Armand

SAVVY TIPS FOR YOUR DINING SPACE

THINK BEYOND TRADITIONAL
So here’s a myth buster: you actually don’t need a giant dining room, a tall ceiling and a huge table for a chandelier to make a statement. Have a long table? Try a linear chandelier. Want to make your silver sparkle? Go with LED lighting. Dining room lighting can make a lasting statement, long after the guests leave.
