Guest Picks: White Lighting for Your Dining Room
Whitewashed wood with a lovely cutout pattern, this pendant would make for a glorious centerpiece above your dining table. My favorite feature is the pattern, which would display a disco-ball effect of lighting around your dining room.
This modern chandelier is a statement piece. I love its solid, milky white look that gives it a strong design presence in the room — which is extra lovely considering the price.
This gorgeous piece would add flair to any dining room. I can’t decide whether it’s dainty or bold — I think it’s both at the same time! I love its sculptural quality too.
Coral inspired, this piece is just fun! Of course it would fit in a nautically inspired space, but I would love to see it in any glam dining room, possibly in a pair.
This belongs in a large, grand dining space with tall ceilings. This is not a piece for the meek. Cascading white beads add a wash of white to the room and will steal the show!
I love the airy quality of these Eclipse chandeliers. They are the perfect balance for a room that already has some heavy furnishings. This piece is extra “airy” due the lightening quality of the white.
Here is a rustic, less modern choice. It would wonderfully balance a darker dining room. And I love that it can swing between cottage, beachy and even old-world styles.
What a fun piece! This makes me think of Alice and Wonderland, and it could quickly fill a room with modern whimsy. My favorite features are those bold arms.
Bamboo never gets old to me, and I adore this light fixture. I’ve used it in several wonderful projects, but never in white. But the white would work wonderfully in a dining room or a grand foyer with high ceilings. Personally, I would use round Hollywood bulbs and leave off the shades.
I love the crystal beads that that drape the arms of this chandelier. They give the piece a sophisticated and sparkling feel, and yet the form is still simple.
A grand white chandelier for a large space, this magnificent piece would fill a room without being too busy. White is a great choice for a grand-scale room for that very reason.
A classic that never gets old — and never stops being fun! I have always loved this pendant from Ikea, as it reminds me of the soft, white dandelion fuzz that I used to make wishes on as child. This is a lovely way to add a splash of fun to a dining room that has gotten too serious.
This is a glorious, modern white pendant — no more, no less. I adore its minimalism and would add it to a space heavy with patterns and/or florals for contrast and balance.
This modern white light reminds me of the dahlia flower. And what dining room couldn’t use a white floral centerpiece?
A skeleton of a light, this piece offers a stunning, modern alternative to the popular Eclipse chandelier. I love how it recalls a traditional lantern, but merely a suggestion of one. It’s such a pretty statement piece!
This large statement piece in cream would add a simple, sculptural touch to a dining space. I love its simple form and general lack of fussiness, which make it another great piece for balancing a busy space.
This extraordinary lantern pendant would make such a statement in any dining room. I absolutely love its unique and stately shape. If you are looking for a piece that not everyone has, this is it!
Light and airy, this wavy branch chandelier can add a touch of nature to a dining room. I would use it as a way to soften and contrast a space filled with straight, severe lines.
This light fixture is certainly not run of the mill and provides a great alternative to a traditional chandelier shape. Its elongated form would be perfect over a large, long dining table.Next: See the Light With White Accessories
