Designer Pendant Lights

5 reasons to choose designer pendant lights

Looking to replace your lights?  Opt for designer pendant lights.  True works of art, these lights are essential pieces for a high-design interior.  Find out why you should embrace designer pendant lights and how to integrate them into your home.   

What are designer pendant lights ?

Designer pendant lights are lamps which hang from the ceiling.  The cable which suspends the lamp is often either discreet, or it is integrated into the design of the light.  Chandeliers, on the other hand, hang directly from the ceiling and wall lamps are attached directly to the wall.  Table lamps are lamps which simply sit on a surface, such as a piece of furniture, a table or bedside table. 

Smaller models are better suited to bedrooms, or small rooms, while larger models are better suited for daily use rooms such as the living room or dining room.

How to choose the right designer pendant lights?

To choose suitable designer pendant lights, pay attention to the following points :

• Choose your light according to your interior decoration.  Some styles are very versatile, but if the light doesn’t match your current style, it won’t look good. 
• Choose your bulbs carefully – a beautiful pendant light will not reach its full potential if you choose the wrong bulbs and don’t like the colour of like they emit.
• Don’t forget accent lights – remember that designer pendant lights can only provide mood lighting.  If you want more intense light for certain areas of a room, add table or wall lamps.
• Choose a model you won’t get bored with, as lights have very long lifespans.
