Pendant Lights Are Back!
They are distinguished by their diverse applications and equivalence to other furniture components, as they come in various color combinations, countless shapes, and unusual dimensions. Because of this, more time should be devoted to selecting and purchasing them, as these lights tend to be more eye-catching compared to other types of lighting. Pendant lights can be installed in any room, and a major advantage they have over floor and table lamps is that they take up less space. They provide a broader spectrum of light, which is ideal for spaces requiring more intense illumination. They are still most commonly found in kitchens, where vibrant hanging bulbs illuminate the dining area. Pendant lights include both classic hanging lights and chandeliers. Our range features a rich selection of pendant lights from renowned brands such as Lodes, Foscarini, Vibia, Flos, Louis Poulsen, Marset and many more. Let innovative shapes and sophisticated lighting designs captivate you.
Premium Chandeliers for Added Elegance
In the past, chandeliers symbolized prestige, as designers handcrafted them, with the dreamy light playing in the hanging glass beads during long evenings. Although chandeliers are still associated with the opulence of ancient palaces, their primary function today is to illuminate spaces. Before purchasing, it's advisable to check the technical specifications of the product, such as the direction of the light beam and the color of the light, as well as the material of the fixture, since metal elements are generally easier to clean. Chandeliers differ from pendant lights in their installation methods. It is best to have a professional help with the installation, as they can best assess whether a surface can support the intended load. Chandeliers can also be mounted on a bar, which acts as an anchor for your hanging lights and can support more weight. They are most commonly used for lighting living rooms, dining areas, and foyers. Crystal chandeliers remain a popular choice, and aesthetically inclined individuals are also drawn to more innovative designs that creatively combine modern materials like glass, wood, polished chrome, and brushed nickel, allowing for versatile applications in different spaces. Among the more expensive pendant lights are those made from hand-forged iron, steel, and bronze, which feature flame-shaped bulbs and crystal prisms. To summarize the main differences between a chandelier and a pendant light: a chandelier has multiple light sources and hangs from the ceiling, attached by a mounting body, while a traditional pendant light typically features only one bulb or light source.
How to Choose the Right Light Color
As mentioned, pendant lights can have different color temperatures, emitting either warm white or cool white light, depending on the light source's color temperature. The light source can be a standard bulb or an LED module. For most people, warm white light, often accompanied by soft yellow tones, is the most pleasant and is suitable for rooms intended for relaxation, such as bedrooms or living rooms. The biggest mistake one can make when decorating a home is allowing too much dominance of white light, as it creates an overly sterile feel and diminishes the cozy warmth of wooden furniture elements. According to recommendations from experienced interior designers, neutral light is more commonly chosen for illuminating offices, clinics, stores, and garages, but is less suitable for lighting large spaces. As an unwritten rule for any interior designer: neutral light is appropriate for lighting areas intended for work and focused activities. For further concentration, very cool light works well. If you're unsure which light color will add the most vibrancy to your space, consult a professional.
Pendant Lights—The Most Beautiful Decoration for Your Dining Room
Compared to chandeliers, pendant lights are more decorative and suitable for use in spaces with high ceilings, such as galleries or stairwells. They are still most frequently found in dining rooms, but recently, pendant lights have become increasingly popular in decorating hotel rooms and hospitality venues, as they create a relaxing and calming atmosphere. Our selection includes pendant lights of various shapes and sizes. Before purchasing, it's good to know the purpose of the lighting and the size of the space to be illuminated. A downside of pendant lights is their directional light beam, typical of pendant tubes, so for broader room illumination, we recommend adding spotlights or additional ceiling lights. On the other hand, some glass pendant lights beautifully diffuse light, with the reflective light playfully embracing the space.
