Easy-going and graceful,pendants are a versatile solution for almost any room.
Pendant lighting is a simple way to illuminate almost any space. These multi-purpose fixtures bring light to kitchens and dark corners, set a dramatic mood, or create the illusion of space in a small room. Pendants are constructed from a variety of materials, from wood and glass to steel and paper. This makes it easy to find the perfect pendant to fit your style, space, and budget.
Finding the right pendant for your room doesn’t have to be a challenge. Our lighting consultants work with you to learn the specifics of your space and style to guide you to the perfect fixture. Our goal is to find the best pendant lighting solution, not the most expensive solution.
Some things to keep in mind as you search for pendant lighting:
Pendants work well in clusters, but to get it right, there are a few details to consider. An odd number of fixtures is preferable to an even number. One, three, or five pendants look great and are often better than a single pendant (of course this depends on the room and purpose).
When hanging multiple pendants over a kitchen island (one of the most common uses for pendant lighting), ideally the fixtures should be spaced 24 to 30 inches between the center point of each shade.
In bedrooms, hanging pendants over bedside tables frees up space for sleep essentials like a clock, glass of water, eyeglasses, or phone.
When selecting a pendant, think about the functional purpose of the fixture and type of light required for the space before you consider style, finish, or materials.
Consider the natural characteristics of your room before selecting a pendant. Does the space receive a healthy amount of natural light? Are there dark corners? How do you use the room? The answers to these questions will help to inform the type of pendant best suited for your space.
In contrast to chandeliers which have numerous outstretched arms, pendants are simple, graceful, and stylish. You’d be remiss to think these simplistic fixtures are just a bulb slung beneath a hanging shade. With many styles, materials, and finishes to choose from and a variety of options for light and purpose, pendants are a versatile solution for nearly any room.
