Trend Alert: Pendant Lights

Brighten your home and update your style with new pendant lights

Pendant lights may be small in size, but they can have a big impact on your space! While these fixtures can bring an updated feel to your space, there are many options available, and each one brings a different look. Select a style that matches your existing home décor and furniture style for a current, yet cohesive look.

Tiffany-style shades add colorful sophistication to a room.

Lights for every style

Pendant light styles may range from traditional to modern and elegant to casual. If you enjoy traditional style in your home, a variety of glass and metal pendants can add sophistication and elegance, as well as light. Choose a pieced-glass, Tiffany-style shade to illuminate your home with warm shades of light, while lending a refined feel to your living or dining room. Or enhance your traditional style room with a classic Victorian style pendant, featuring elegant details such as bronze finish and crystal beadwork.

If your style falls more on the casual side, choose a rustic or country style fixture that will diffuse a gentle glow throughout your room. For farmhouse appeal, choose vintage-glass style pendants paired with vintage-style Edison bulbs for extra rustic appeal. Pendants featuring mason jar shapes or glass bottles make a charming addition to your kitchen or dining area. Try hanging a cluster over your farmhouse-style dining table, creating the perfect lighting and ambience for your casual family dinners and gatherings with friends.

For modern style homes, pendants with clean lines and solid colors can match décor and take your style to the next level.

Try clustering pendants in a group for a more substantial effect.

Unexpected installations

Whether you are trying to brighten up your home, create a warm glow for a cozy atmosphere, or simply add an element of design, pendant lights are extremely versatile. While a single, large pendant can make a statement in your dining or living room, pendants can also be installed in unexpected ways for a designer look and eclectic style.

There are many ways to boost your home’s décor by simply installing some pendants in a few rooms. For a unique look, try replacing lamps with small hanging pendants. Install a set of pendants over the nightstands in the master bedroom, or replace lamps in your living spaces with pendants hung over your favorite chairside table.

You can also add interest to a room by grouping small pendants in a cluster. A set of three pendants provides a more substantial effect, as well as variety to your room. Choose your favorite mix of glass or wood pendants for an artistic and eclectic look.

Hanging pendants are a simple and versatile solution for bringing lighting and character to your room. Choose lights to match your design style and complement your home décor.
