Finding the perfect lamp for the dining table. Ideas and tips

Whether you are an enthusiastic host or prefer to dine in peace with the family, the dining room has a special place in your home. It's a room that's perfect for entertaining as well as providing a wonderful atmosphere for private conversation. Here you can leave the world behind and enjoy your personal time-out. That's why the right lighting for the dining area is important.

A dining room lamp is a particularly important design element, as it not only provides light for eating, but also has a major influence on the mood and ambience of the room as a whole. At BUYnBLUE.com you will find great ideas and high-quality lamps for your dining area. Here are some ingenious tips for the perfect lamp for your dining table.

The best position for the dining table lamp

Position the light for the dining area carefully. A chandelier or other low-hanging light should be positioned centrally above the dining table and not in the middle of the room. For example, if you have other furniture in the room, your table may not be exactly in the center of the room. The dining table lamp puts the focus on the table. Before you buy the right lamp, you should know exactly where the table will be placed and where the lamp should shine.

The personal style of a dining room lamp

Finding the perfect lighting for your dining room is an opportunity to shape the overall character of your home and emphasize your personal taste. There are numerous options and the decision is not always easy.

Chandeliers are a popular choice for any dining area. Classic and elegant, rustic and modern imposing chandeliers decorate any dining area and give it a special look. These special lamps should be matched to the size of the room and your dining table. The diameter of a chandelier should be around half to two-thirds the length of the table.

Hanging lamps for a modern lighting concept are in vogue. You can install either one large Pendant Lamp or 2-3 pendant lights of different sizes above the dining table. This creates fantastic lighting arrangements for an impressive eye-catcher.

Recessed lamps and spotlights work perfectly in a particularly small room or in a dining area in your kitchen. With a low ceiling height, you can create a focused and effective light that optimally illuminates the entire table and does not hang in front of your eyes or those of your guests.

The correct installation of the dining room lamp

When installing your lights, remember that a chandelier or Pendant Lamp should hang about 90 cm above a dining table with a ceiling height of 2.5 meters. If your ceiling is higher than 2.5 meters, ideally mount the chandelier 10 cm higher. Every room is designed or divided differently. These guidelines are therefore only a recommendation. Of course, your interior style and furniture also play a decisive role in the installation.

The existing ambience

The dining area is a special place in your home. The furnishings in the room and the occasion create the ambience. Brightness is also a component in creating your desired atmosphere.

If you equip the dining table lamps with a dimmer, you can adjust the lighting differently throughout the day and depending on the occasion. Thanks to a remote control, the light intensity can be adjusted in no time at all.

Set accents

Even if large pendant lights and chandeliers often shine in the center of a dining room, they are not the only sources of light. With any great lighting design, you can visually enlarge the room with additional accents such as wall lights and beautifully showcase cabinets, shelves, sideboards and accessories with recessed lights. Chic and modern Floor lamps light up dark corners and create a pleasant flair.

BUYnBLUE currently supplies customers in Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands, Italy, France and the USA.

All deliveries are delivered duty paid and taxed within the EU and the USA. This means that you will not incur any additional customs or import costs.

Special case Switzerland:

As Switzerland is not part of the EU, deliveries to Switzerland are DAP - duty unpaid and untaxed. If the order value exceeds CHF 65, Swiss customs regulations generally require an import sales tax of 8.1% to be paid. In addition, there is a one-off handling fee of CHF 16 plus a surcharge of 3% of the value of the goods.

Here is a sample calculation:

A customer in Switzerland orders a lamp worth CHF 200. As the order value is over CHF 65, an import sales tax of 8.1% or CHF 16.20 is due. In addition, there is a one-off processing fee of CHF 16 plus a surcharge of 3% of the value of the goods, i.e. CHF 6. In this case, the import tax would be CHF 38.20, which must be paid in cash directly to Swiss Post when the parcel is handed over. You can find more information here.
