Pendant lighting is a great way to add style to any room. They are a practical lighting solution that can make a statement to your living space and create a serious wow factor in style.
There are many options to the look and feel of pendant lights. From the industrial look, to Scandinavian style the choices are endless to suite your rooms and taste. However, each room has a different need for light and will require a different look and size.
The entry to your home should have a statement pendant or pendants. This sets the tone to the rest of your house. It is a more a statement rather than a functional light. The Parison by Resident definitely screams wow. It is handmade in New Zealand by a mouth blown glass piece using black and clear glass. This gives the surface of the light a fluid gradient from opaque to transparent. Housed in the neck of the pendant, a high quality LED lamp creates a soft warm glowing fixture.
Your living room will need a larger light or cluster of lights. There are many wow factor pendants available to suite your living room. If it is a small space a mixture of a floor lamp with a single pendant will optimise the use of light and functionality. The Amp lamp by Norman Copenhagen uses a unique shape and classic material of marble and glass that creates a contemporary addition to any room. Amp takes up less space visually, allowing for many different applications in the home.
Your kitchen will need practical lighting solutions so you have an ample well-lit area. If you have an Island bench the use of pendant lights are a great way to light it up. The Echo lights by Resident are a true fusion of decorative and technical lighting, with snap on lenses which can be customised on-site to change colour temperature, glare and beam angle. The result is a family of high output directional lights, with perfect light distribution.
Your dining area screams pendant light directly above the dining table. It is probably the most common use of pendant lights. Bell is a pendant lamp by Normann Copenhagen in an iconic bell shape where special attention has been paid to its details. Its round, even surface gives the lamp the impression of having been cast. Rather than being hidden, the gathering of the cord and the lamp is accentuated in a contemporary and original way.
For the bedroom the most popular use of pendant lights are in place of bedside table lamps. Not only do they look great they clear up space and a clutter look on the table. They will however need to hang low to allow for enough lighting for reading. The Bing pendant by Resident is a beautiful light that is handcrafted and refined using traditional sculpting techniques, using pure white China Clay from Matauri Bay, New Zealand.
