The Dining Room Lighting Mistake I See Everywhere

I’m begging you… center your dining table under your light fixture. I can’t tell you how many times I walk into a home and the table is floating somewhere off to the side because the builder installed the light box dead center in the room. Then a china cabinet or another furniture piece shifts the layout, and suddenly the light fixture and table are completely misaligned. This is not a major renovation. Moving a light box is relatively inexpensive, and it instantly makes your dining room feel intentional and professionally designed. Lighting should relate to furniture, not drywall.
