Go for exposed bulbs
Nothing says "industrial chic quite like an exposed bulb. Minimal, yes - but with a thoroughly modern aesthetic that demands attention. exposed bulbs work well hung individually or in groups of different heights. Or consider aligning the table length to ensure that no one remains in the dark.

Use the height of the room
If you are a lucky home owner (or lessee) with high ceilings, then you have even more opportunities to play with size and shape of the luminaires. In the dining room, the visual focus is certainly the cluster of light that appears to float in the air. It is almost a work of art in its own right.

mix and match
If you want to be playful with your design, remember to mix and match fixtures. If you do this, however, try to keep an element of the same everywhere, whether color (as here) or form, to keep it from looking too busy.

Job three
We humans like a bit of symmetry, and grouping items by three is always nice. This row of lights works especially well with the long table, which is evenly illuminated. If you want to turn round area and carefully aligned row just would not work, you can always try three lights, but hung in a cluster at different heights.

Supersize a lamppost
Who said light fixtures on the dining tables must be mounted on the ceiling? A lamppost, particularly where shade hangs low, can provide sufficient lighting, and is flexible if you ever decide to move your table. If you have the space to play with, perhaps give a nod to the classic angle light task with a supersized version, as Superarchimoon, which is sure to be a point at dinner speaking.

Keep it simple with spotlights
spotlights can be an ideal choice of lighting in a minimal diet or ultra-modern. Whether LED bulbs or halogen, these may be fixed either in an orderly row, or dispersed throughout the ceiling. Spotlights provide bright light without fuss and minimum visual intrusion.

echo the shape of your table
to ensure that there is a flow at ease in a space, it is useful to consider echoing the shape of the table in your chosen luminaire. So if your table is round, like the one shown, try installing a round of light mounting, too. It will be extremely easy on the eye.

consider plated
hot metallic, especially brass and copper, are on trend right now - and rightly so. These metals are luxurious, warming and bring a real sense of character to a space. Equally at home in a dining room industrial, such as the one here, or in a more traditional setting, this aesthetic is extremely flexible. And again, more is definitely more, so hang a lucky group of three for extra style points.

Plump for a classic chandelier
in a traditional dining room, there is nothing like an elegant chandelier. refined but decadent, decorative chandelier will bring a touch of class to any meal time. When installing a chandelier in the dining room, make sure to check the position of your table to ensure the implementation is right on the center for uniform light distribution.

make a statement
Everything in this modern dining room itself has more than a hint of sophistication, the monochrome palette strongly with the great work of art. It is only right, then, that the lighting cleverly loop is a statement that holds more than its own.
