Semi Flush Dining Room Light Fixture

Semi Flush Dining Room Light Fixture

Achieving a magazine-worthy yet livable ambiance in the dining room is all about casting the right light. Plus, sourcing dining room light fixtures is arguably the most exciting design task of all: They're one of the only pieces that serve an essential function while offering a design opportunity only rivaled by art. Unlike seating, they don't need to be comfortable, and unlike décor, the value goes far beyond aesthetics. This makes the selection process a lot more interesting and flexible, as long as you know what to look for.

To help you illuminate your dinner spread in style, we rounded up nine chic dining room light fixtures as well as examples of what environments they work best in.

Illuminate a Nook

BHDM Design

This charming breakfast nook is form meets function at its best. With mismatched dining chairs and light-wash wood, it feels fresh, cozy, and curated all at once. The chandelier brings in a nice French farmhouse vibe while also introducing some drama with that large scale.

Gracie Oaks Sherri-Ann 4-Light Lantern Rectangle Pendant $168

Shop

This modern, farmhouse-style pendant makes a statement with its matte black finish, while its tube-style bulbs give the candelabra a contemporary feel.

Go for the Gold

BHDM Design

We've been seeing modern chandeliers like this one everywhere, which is a good thing. The shiny metallic finish spruces things up without being too overtly glamorous, making it the perfect dining room light fixture for someone who wants a touch of elegance that can complement a variety of styles throughout the years.

Cedar & Moss Alto Compass 8" Clear $699

On trend yet timeless, this simple gold chandelier will highlight any dining room.

Play With Texture

Amber Interior Design

For an approachable, family-friendly dining room, it's all about creating a casual yet stylish texturescape. With its casual, light-colored throw pillows, the cozy upholstered booth is formalized by the high ceilings and the contrasting black dining chairs. The tall ceiling is ideal for suspended pendants like these, which fit the space perfectly in a ceramic material.

Cedar & Moss Terra Surface $169

Shop

Consider a cluster of pendants in an unglazed clay with a modern, matte finish. And if your ceilings are lower, consider the flush mount.

Surprise With Scale

BHDM Design

When you're working with a small space but refuse to compromise your statement-making style, consider this dining room your North Star guide. The built-in banquet seating maximizes space as does the impactful red wall art, allowing more room for a geometric light fixture. Though it's smaller than other suspension lights, it gets the job done and then some.

IKEA KRUSNING Pendant Lamp Shade $20

Shop

Crafted from paper that can be fluffed and rearranged, this wispy, ethereal lampshade is a bargain buy at $20.

Classic With a Twist

Catherine Kwong Design

Want to play up the older architectural bones of a home? Opt for a traditional chandelier with modern style. We love how this dining room sticks to a neutral, minimal color scheme while getting more creative with contrasting design elements like the mod acrylic dining table, Scandinavian chairs, and hi-def photograph on the wall.

Naharro Candelabra Agnes $7077

Shop

This gorgeous candelabra is a stunning ode to the past while also bringing in an unmistakably contemporary design with the branching arms.

Return to Retro

JH Interior Design

With pale mint green walls, a dark gray kitchen island, an array of chairs, and hardwood floors, this Victorian kitchen dining room is a whimsical dream. Making an unexpected statement, a quirky throwback double pendant is suspended over the dining table.

Bianco Light + Space Equinox Pendant $Price upon request

Shop

This drop-dead gorgeous pendant light is giving us old-library vibes but with a serious design upgrade. With close attention to symmetry, these trapezoidal glass cones provide a beautiful directional glow that exudes an elemental simplicity.

Back in Black

JH Interior Design

Speaking of libraries, we can't get enough of that dramatically tall library ladder in the background. Leave it up to this trio of drum pendants in a dark, moody hue to match the scale of the ladder, tying the whole dining room and kitchen together beautifully.

G*FURN Jayda Fat Pendant Lamp in Black $93 $76

The matte black finish of this modern pendant lamp is contrasted by a gold interior for unexpected glam and dazzle, especially when the light is turned on.

Easy Breezy

JH Interior Design

Coastal, cool, and effortlessly elegant, this dining room proves that if you pick the right pieces, a little bit goes a long, long way. Make it happen with light-wash chairs, a long dining room table, a large indoor plant, framed art, and a sculptural yet casual pendant light.

Serena & Lily Headlands Bell Pendant $298

Shop

Crafted from woven rattan for a touch of organic texture, this oversized pendant is equal parts dramatic and casual.

Suspend a pendant solo to spotlight a nook, or hang them in pairs to illuminate a rectangular-shaped dining table.

Lived-in Linear

Annaleena

Sleek and grown-up, this dining room screams design perfection. We love how the linear light reflects the shape of the rectangular dining table and complements the living room light, making the rooms blend together.
