If you're trying to create a specific vibe in your dining room, don't rely only on harsh overhead lighting. Instead, take a tip from how interior designers use restaurant lighting to influence diners, and incorporate layered lighting design. Layered lighting integrates a variety of lighting fixtures to create the perfect ambience. Using the right combination can enhance aesthetics and provide the right level of light for specific tasks or to highlight unique or interesting artwork, decor, and architectural or design features.
