Many of us may be changing our decor, updating our color schemes and changing our light fixtures.
Here is a useful lighting tip:
In the dining room, use your room height to determine where to position the fixture above your dining table – For an 8-foot ceiling, the bottom of your fixture should be 27-30″ from the table. For higher ceilings, add three inches for each additional foot of height.
And, the width of your fixture should be no wider than the width of your table minus 12 inches!
For those of us of a “certain age” – regular incandescent bulbs greatly reduce our visual acuity. Using cooler type light sources, such as halogens and fluorescents can be a big help. Increasing the number of light fixtures in the room is really beneficial.
Happy Lighting!
