PENDANTS
PENDANTS
The beauty, functionality and versatility of a pendant could be one of the handiest lighting solutions to make your home more captivating and inspiring for your family & friends. Establish the style of a room by adding an additional element to your overall décor design. With a variety of colours and shapes available, pendants are the ideal tool to liven up a dull space and achieve a modern, stylish and contemporary look while creating a touch of elegance to any room.
Here are a few basic guidelines that can prove to be very helpful when hanging your pendant lights.
Hanging Multiple Pendants
Hanging multiple pendants over a table will help create sufficient light as well as a dramatic finish to your overall décor.
Rule of Thirds & Fifth
These can be hung in line or clustered at different heights by using the rule of odds. Three’s or fives can create quite an impact in your space.
Alternatively...
As seen in the above image, two pendants were more than sufficient, as the rule of three is seen in the use of the extractor fan whereby 3 light sources are achieved.
Calculating how many pendants should be hung
Another way to calculate your spacing when hanging three pendants is to take the total length of the table and divide it by 4, to give you equal spacing and creating your desired overall look.
Lone Pendants
You could simply hang one lone pendant in a strategic space working as functional lighting as well as a minimalistic lighting solution depending on your overall home design.
Hanging pendants over a table
When hanging pendants over a table create an ambience by hanging your pendants 900mm above the table surface, so as not to obscure your view and detract from your table settings.
Pendants as Task Lighting
Pendants work great over any task area as they create a pool of light.
Pendants and globes
However, should you just be looking to create a feature, simply choosing the correct globe will be of great importance.
When choosing your decorative feature light, it should always be in keeping with the overall style of the room and furnishings to create your point of impact within your space.
