Interior Styling | Dining Table Lighting

When it comes to my interior styling posts, the dining area has been sadly neglected! I thought it was about time I gave it some attention, especially seen as it's such an important area where we often congregate for family meals, dinner parties or just to hang out with the paper or laptop and a cuppa! Of course furniture is a major component, and I'm the first to admit ours needs a big overhaul. I live in hope that I'll one day own my dream table, preferably of the large, solid wood variety, and a set of Hans Wegner Wishbone Chairs. Today however I've decided to focus on pendant lighting as I'm on the lookout for our new house. These images from my dining Pinterest board represent some of my favourite styles. 

Able to be reconfigured in countless ways, I love the flexibility and minimalist style of the three-armed industrial Workstead Chandelier. It cleverly combines form and function while adding interest to the dining area, without overpowering. If I had a spare $1800 then I'd certainly treat myself, and I'm sure our new home would thank me for it! 

I can't go past the simplicity of single hanging bulbs, as shown in the examples above and below. The diamond shaped bulbs above are so pretty, while the cords and fittings below add a pop of bright colour.  

Brass, copper and gold lighting is so on trend right now. I love everything from the Tom Dixon range.

I recently discovered the Disc Pendant by Toss B when I came across the gorgeous Scandi-style Melbourne above on The Design Files. I've been obsessing over it ever since! 

You can't go wrong with a pair of black industrial lights suspended above bright white interiors and colourful accessories. 

Two of my favourite lighting brands are Muuto (above) and our own local design hero David Trubridge (below).
