How to Choose the Right Pendant Ceiling Lights for Your Space
With so many styles, brands, and options available, it can be easy to overthink the process. Here are a few things to keep in mind as you shop to make the decision easier.
Start with the Room, Not the Fixture
Think about the existing colours, materials, and overall feeling of the space before you start looking at specific products. A pendant that's beautiful on its own might not work in your home if the finish clashes with your ceiling lights or the scale overwhelms the room.
Consider Your Ceiling Height
Pendant lights come in a range of drop lengths, so it's worth knowing your ceiling height before you shop. Standard ceilings of 8 to 9 feet work well with most hanging fixtures, while higher ceilings give you more flexibility to go longer or layer multiple pendants at different heights.
Consider the Full Picture
If you're adding a pendant over a dining room table, think about how it'll look alongside any existing ceiling lights, ceiling fans, wall sconces, or other fixtures and lighting accessories in the space. Mixing metals is fine, and brass and black are particularly easy to combine, but completing a cohesive look means thinking about all the lighting in the room at once.
Go with Quality
A pendant light is something you'll live with for years. It's worth choosing a brand with a track record of quality craftsmanship over a low price point that won't hold up. The brands featured on this page are all made to a high standard and designed to last.
Find Your Pendant Light Style at Lights Canada
