Pendant Lights

A Guide to Choosing Pendant Lights

Choosing the right pendant starts with understanding the room it’s going into. For open-plan spaces and kitchen pendant lighting in particular, a single pendant that can be hung in multiples works wonderfully. Our Huxley clear glass pendant is one of our favourite options for this purpose. Available in bright nickel or antique brass across three sizes, it’s versatile enough to hang solo above a reading nook or as a trio over a kitchen island. Alternatively, for a dining room or living room that needs a real centrepiece, a multi-light fitting tends to work best. Something like our Radley brass pendant light, which features warm antique brass metalwork and textured ribbed glass shades, is a timeless and versatile option here. It provides beautifully diffused, warm illumination that suits both traditional and transitional interiors equally well and has quickly turned into one of our team's all-time favourites.

Once you’ve settled on the right format, finish is the next decision to take into account. Brass and gold tones bring warmth and a strong sense of occasion, which is ideal for areas like living rooms and dining rooms. Our Ruby gold pendant light fixture, with its decorative fretwork frame and frosted glass diffuser, is a stunning choice for these kinds of spaces, adding immediate impact and ambience that shines in dinner parties and lively gatherings. For sleek, modern rooms, our Esme black hanging pendant light offers a very different design approach. With its architectural LED ring suspended on near-invisible wire cables and bold matt black finish, it creates a contemporary, floating aesthetic that's guaranteed to start conversations. If it’s more classic-style lights and pendants you’re after with wider appeal, a glass pendant light like our vastly popular Odessa makes for a timeless, confident choice.
