Restaurant lighting aesthetics guide: the art of creating an ideal dining and kitchen space

Modern style: Geometric metal chandeliers (30-40cm diameter) are best matched with glass dining tables
Chinese style: Wooden lantern-shaped lamps (60cm height) are a perfect match with solid wood dining tables
Industrial style: Black iron chandeliers (with Edison bulbs) are suitable for spaces with a height of more than 3 meters
Nordic style: White paper chandeliers (diameter no more than 2/3 of the dining table) create a warm atmosphere
Golden size rule
1. Long table: chandelier length = dining table length × (0.6-0.7)
2. Round table: chandelier diameter = round table diameter × (0.5-0.6)
3. Installation height: 75-90cm from the tabletop (normal floor height)/120-150cm (high ceiling space)
Light and shadow magic formula
Basic lighting: 3000K warm light (5-7W/㎡)
Key lighting: 3500K neutral light (center area of the dining table)
Decorative lighting: 2700K yellow light (wall lamp/sideboard)
Smart upgrade suggestions
Choose smart lamps with adjustable color temperature (2700K-4000K)
It is recommended to use human body sensors to achieve automatic switching

Matching tips
1. Dark dining tables are paired with matte lamps for a high-end feel
2. It is recommended to unify the style of lamps for open kitchens
3. Use semi-recessed lamps in small spaces to reduce the sense of oppression
