How Do You Plan A Track Lighting System For A Dining Room?
Short of buying new furniture, an easy way to update the look of your dining room is to update your lighting. Instead of fussy chandeliers, install new modern-looking track lighting on the ceiling. Track lighting arrangements can change the look of any room. Here are tips on planning a style of track lighting before you buy. Stand in your dining room and decide which elements you want to light. Consider the activities that take place in your dining room. Do you use it only on special occasions or is it an everyday room? Determine how much direct lighting you will need–for example, to highlight wall art, your china cabinet or your dining table. Then decide how much ambient lighting you want. Draw a diagram of the room and make notes on it. Bring this to a lighting store and show it to a salesperson to determine the style of the light fixtures.
