Dining Room Lighting Not Centered

This is especially important within a dining room that has a hutch present.

Dining room lighting not centered. To answer my readers question. Kim 22218 - 923 AM. You would think this is obvious enough but we are including it just so that it is clear.

If you cant rehang or rewire the chandelier simply screw in a ceiling hook above your table and swag the light fixture you may need to add more chain. The solution - leave the wiring where it was and swag the chandeliers to the center where they belonged. Center a chandelier or pendant on the table not the room.

I need to do this with my dining room light and love how yours turned out. Decorate the home by your own themes or decors can be the most important things for your room. The main light fixture in the living room is way off-centered.

In order to avoid this an electrician would need to pull new wiring that is long. As a designer yes - the lighting should be centered over the table but in this room with the bay area which is not actually part of the footprint of the dining area if you choose to leave the leafs in then I would hang 2 light fixtures lighten the walls and perhaps do a buffalo check on the chairs. If the chandelier is going to be hung over a table center it over the table rather than being centered in the room.

The ceiling light needs to hang over the dining or breakfast table rather than in the center of the room unless you have a secondary ceiling light hanging over the table. So I have been waiting for my hubby to add a hook and chain and switch out the light fixture. For example if the fixture over the dining room table is 12 to 18 inches off center because of the wall unit a cover plate would need to be installed over the old junction box when the wiring is extended to the new fixture location.

We then centered the table where we wanted the light to go and marked the spot above this space on the ceiling. Before that teeny little bulb was swapped in. If off-center in relation to the table the room will have an uneasy.
